Lucas, Katie and I went up the hill to play on some big rocks. Thanks to the local trail master Glacier is much easier to follow. Not easier to ride though. There is some very challenging technical sections.
Most of the difficulty lies in picking the right line

Lucas can clean stuff better than most people I know
There is actually a certain flow to the whole thing. You just have to try not to endo
After 3 tries even Lucas couldn't get through this little nightmare
Apparently there are badgers out there
I am trying out some new tires. The one on the left is a Maxxis High roller. The high roller has proven to be the best compromise in tires for me so far. I've been wanting to try the Schwalbe Hans Dampf (right) for a while. Every magazine review raves about them. Its hard to tell in the photo but the 2.35 Hans Dampf dwarfs the same size Maxxis, in both width and casing. Today they stuck like glue to the granite and shrugged off all the sharp edges. So far so good.
