I will definitely be in touch if I make my way to your neighborhood over the holidays!

 

Right on, D. I'm not averse to rolling up to your 'hood, either.


BTW, the circuits are all do-able with some decent fitness and dismounting skills. Ace DH skills not mandatory, but they help minimize your day on Bell and LP.

 

This is not an intermediate ride..
Could be an intermeduate walk...a very long walk...

 

Hmmm.... A lil Bell/Ding Dong sounds good...

 

Some of Yeager and Bell are easier to roll through than to hike down with the bike.

 

Like roll over ur head again n again...

 

Um, which one? A fit intermediate dismounter can complete any trail.

That would be great, shitty – it's been way too long!

Haha, so true...as I've discovered more than once. DHF has better traction than Stealth dots

 

Love it!

 

I'll be around after the 1st... And I'm not opposed to dismounting! The last time I was that far up Bell, it was on foot anyway...

 

LHJ-UHJ-Joplin...it ain't the San Gabes, but it'll do.

 

Hey, Man! Don't be dissin' our small mountain hood!

 

Haha, dis away, brotherRoss...truth can sting Let's get stung!

@Faust29, hope you can join @doublewide and myself for a nice half day on the ridge. There's lots of somewhat cruiser terrain along the ridge, and it sounds like somebody been fixing up Dingdong. Wild views, and Can't See Bottom is usually entertaining

 

Another IMTB ride for the extremely fit rider with a day pass!

I couldn't walk these routes much less ride them. Have fun, warriors!

Nope. Have a great time!

 

I’m liking this option. Trying to round up one more person hopefully. So far it’s David and myself.

 

Cool, see you there Roll at 9. Gray Outback and Black Bronson. There are 2 others coming they are faster than me so they are starting a bit later and meet / catchup at 4 corners. Social pace for me! No Climb Pressure.

 

You guys are killing me! You all wait until I’m out of town to invade the hood.

 

It's a conspiracy!
