Chimney Rock Conditions

[Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST]

I rated it a 4 there was 1 or 2 wet spots on lower blue and dry everywhere else.It doesn't get much better.

Where did you take the fall?
Fast recovery to you

Hitting the section that runs parallel with Vosseller. Stuffed the front tire and flipped.
Classic operator error.

trails are PRIME! Go get em, just don't be like me. Ate it on Yellow sunday and separated my shoulder

ouch what stage separation? I had a stage 3 separation. It was not pleasant. Heal up quick!

 

[qclabrat]

Going to stop by after work today on the yellow and try out the new Vreeland Schilling boulder feature
hoping not to pancake

@Dominique figured that one out.

Forecast says light rain over at Bridgewater, think its worth a shot to go ride chimney rock today?

 

[Norm]

Yeah it's fine. I'm 4 miles away and rode there today. Even a light rain isn't going to make a difference. Trails are perfect right now.

 

[qclabrat]

Limited time only rode yellow, but was perfect. The little 1.9 tires were pretty rough up front. Going to switch to weirwolfs all around this weekend. What worked at 6mr didn't here

And yes @Dominique decoded correctly
My first job out of school was an analytical chemistry working the graveyard shift. I worked with a ex-minor league ball player, who used to sip the gold shield. (99.99 pure ethyl alcohol used for testing) We worked about 4 hrs and napped the rest. Sure wished I was riding when time wasn't a premium

I'm heading to CR today around 4:15pm if anyone wants to join or just say Hi. I'll be wearing a red,white and blue Air Liquide kit.

Thanks! If I eat my Wheaties next week maybe I'll actually nail that one 🙂

is that one of those two steeps which go down to chimney rock?
tried one near the fence a few weeks back and bailed miserably
man, that's steep and loose

You're probably referring to the Guardrail Climb. What did you bail, going up or going down? Are you on Strava? Do you like Gladiator movies?

Maybe 1 day you can join another human and they can show you.

 

[qclabrat]

down, i got scared
if going up, I wouldn't have got very further either
esp. yesterday, had to hike some parts of yellow.... allergy wars on my body

 

[paa29]

Couple of mud spots on blue but other than that trails are perfect!

 

[qclabrat]

Gave it a 3 cause blue has some soft spots, rest of park is fine
