I have been tying to get in shape for the coming riding season. It would be a lot easier if winter would ever end. Scott and I decided to check out the conditions in Deer Creek. Unfortunately I think it was an indicator of things to come this year. Trees down and erosion problems everywhere.
Lightning's been getting a lot of action lately.
I think we're all jonesing for the big granite up the hill. Bobby was nice enough to show us this new slab on Lightning.
Jordan getting his fix
This is the Dam trail. Theres a lot of logging equipment about a quarter mile away. Then I noticed about 50 trees marked for removal. Hopefully they don't bulldoze the ground too much getting them out.
Hard to see but there's a bunch of red paint.
Brent and I showed Jordan and Scott trail 32 and Pinball.
Top of Crandel Peak. Couldn't ask for a nicer day. We probably did over an hour of trail clearing and still didn't even come close to getting it all.
It still amazes me how often I get lost at Redhills. Lucas and I always miss at least one turn.
We are trying to resurrect and old mining trail.
Brent joined my whole family as we cut in a new entrance.
Redhills in the dark!
After Redhills in the dark. Best time for home brew is after a ride.
A taste of some of the erosion problems we are going to be dealing with this year.
While clearing Pinball my trusty lopper finally broke. Luckily Fiskars has a lifetime warranty and sent me out a new pair in less than a week.
Brent at Sonora Cyclery set me up with a new drive train for my Enduro. Look at the size of that cassette! I was able to go to a larger chainring and still have a lower gear. 46x11XT cassette, Sram Chain, Renthal 32tooth chainring $200. That cheaper than the Eagle cassette!
Poor Jeanie broke her Knolly at the end of last season. We've be trying so hard to get her back in the game. Soo close now.
