FS at Stephens. Think I’ve seen you at Wildcat on plus hardtail. So FS on flow and Plus HT on tech🤷🏻♂️. Not judging just curious. I like the Trek Stache combo of plus tires to provide some squish to soak up the chunk and a very efficient climbing bike.
i usually ride my FS at wildcat too, but you could very well have seen me on the stache there, it rides well, just not quite as fast on the downhills. If i was riding the hardtail at wildcat it was one of 2 situations, 1) it was winter, so gross/snowy 2) the FS bike was broken and i was waiting for parts.
in all honesty it rides fine at both parks, stephens is definitely more friendly to it tho.
clipless pedals everywhere.
in all honesty its not that techy, its one of the gentler parks in the 80-north area
Not techy at all, mostly flat - you can ride in sandals.

That's what I thought. I often opt for flats on the techies stuff because I don't ride it all that often. Gonna have to start going for it.
Joking aside... I don't think it's techy at all, a lot of climbing. I think Wildcat is techier.

i mean, most of it, but it does straddle rt 80 a little bit.

I ride in sports sandals at non technical minimal elevation places sometimes. So far no foot injuries, but now I just jinxed myself.

That looks like it’s challenging even cruising the boardwalk.

Man, coaster brakes are like learning to ride all over again. So sketch. And my pointer fingers don't know what to do with themselves, they're so used to resting on brake levers. lol.

I alternate between the pointer and middle finger. I wouldn’t know what to do with my pointer fingers either, but my middle, ah forget it. Don’t want to get in the penalty box. It really is sketchy riding the boardwalk with coaster brakes. Suprised that more bike accidents don’t occur down the shore.
no bikes on the boardwalk after 10:00. well, at least that is the general rule which is there to be broken, cause it doesn't really apply to everyone.
Do we have a time for meeting on Sunday?
