I love my local trails... Part 2

Uh oh... I went to make a "I love my local trails... part 2" thread, but the forum spit out an error. Methinks bad things are happening under the hood.

Edit: Mikie drank beer and now everything is working.

Part 2:

 

/\ Nice! These vids do a surprisingly good job of portraying the precariousness of the Front Range. That little left twitch at the end of Widow Maker gave me a vicarious pucker.

 

I'm in!

Edit: Nice work Faustie! That 30-second section on MLE starting at around 0:36 is heebie-geebie. You passed the hikers at the beginning of MM like you were on a fire road...

 

Hmmm... I've liked Bug's posts in this thread, but they don't seem to be sticking. Ruh roh.

I specifically didn't tag you in that post to see how long it would take you to find it.

 

TFPU. I love your local trails, too.

And that bike? It’s just a normal bike you’d ride if you wanted to have fun. Not super long or anything. Perfectly killer little sled, it is.

 

I think it’s all about how the terrain changes as you descend the range. The lower you get, the higher percentage of hardpack. Up top (MLE) is clearly where errosion is occurring most. It’s unstable compared to what’s below it and the stability increases a little bit more on each trail below the prior. Golly, I almost sound like a geology geek. Almost.

 

I take it things are back to abnormal?

 

They seem to be... I was able to make the birthday thread last night. Pretty sure it was the beer you told us to drink. Everything seemed to fall into place after an IPA.

 

Sometimes... papa does know best!

 

Whatever it was, it worked.

Unless you tried to show a video, or pics, or something less acceptable.....

 

This thread is evil and I suspect it has bad code in between fixes. I can’t like you Test.

 

I deleted the Test.

 

Great. Now it will be unintelligible.

 

Deleted, not Edited...
