    I don't even remember the lines any more on that particular segment. That cheater line at :22 that just goes straight and bypasses the rocks on the left is just shameful.

    Never been on that run. Do you have a Strava link for it?

    Fixed the original post.

    If you're "vertically challenged" (aka, not a big climber) then this is best tackled from Central as it gives you the option to bail out half way through the climb and go down Powerpole.

    This is a special one for @slomosapien

    Unfortunately, you can't create a Strava segment for this one as it is too short. A segment exists, but out captures rides going AROUND the climb and includes a lot of lead up.

    This climb averages 30%, an instance where I am at my power and traction limits.

    I had never seen that first segment. Does this start on top by the Mini Moab entrance and the flood reservoir?

    It's near there, but past it if you are coming from the south. Keep going along the fenceline and it will be a singletrack to the left.

    Cool. That's what it looked like. I'm going to need to check it out. Thanks!

    It's a fun line. The hard part is remembering to make the left around the boulder instead of going straight. You can go straight, but it isn't as fun.

    The Plunge on the E29 is a bit faster compared to my F-Si...

    Yes, I skipped rolling in and hucked to flat. Damn these bikes are good! (4 or more for drop).

    It's funny. I actually ran into you guys a few thursdays back at the top of the plunge. I had never looked to the left to know that line to the left existed until I saw you gap it.

    It's not hard to miss stuff out there. There is so much going on at Sycamore!

    I rode Sycamore this morning. I finally decided to start taking the rock jumps on the south side. I didn’t know what I was missing. They are perfect launches.

    Looking good. Those gaps are bigger in real life...
