All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Bike to beach adventure surf perch fishing. My buddies surly is set up for extended solitude. So sick.

 

Is Sundance any better lately? Haven’t ridden there in years, and it was pretty shitty back then.
Deer Valley on the other hand, good times. Their new lines are bad ass.

Two more week till Trestle here, but Angel Fire opens for weekends this week I think.

 

Its a solid "meh" you can't compare it ti DV but for half the cost, half the drive from Provo, and 1/10 the people, its pretty damn good.

 

There are a lot of east coasters here, I've always wanted to ride out there! Anyone from or ride in Bend?

 

I grew up riding the Provo trails. Agree that Deer Valley is way better than Sundance. Sundance is more fun to climb and ride on an XC bike. Deer Valley has awesome dh lines.

 

Sounds like Snowbasin. Fun and the trails are looong, but, meh...

 

I have a family reunion near grand junction CO this summer,need some trail beta from locals! First couple weeks of July!

 

Quick pre-work ride this morning, trying out the new seat and pads.

 

I'm not a local but there are plenty of trails in GJ (Lunch Loops) and in nearby Fruita (Kokopelli and 18 Road systems). And Moab is not that far away either.

 

First time at Chuckanut on tubeless and a new 1x9, heck of a difference!

 

It's going to be hot that time of year!

 

fun stuff, MOAB if you can stand the heat has LOTs of fun stuff/slickrock

I finally switched to a 1 by set up a couple years ago and was extremely happy. A 1x9 to be exact. You want to make yourself even happier.....go to a 1x11. As far as tubeless, that’s something I still have not taken the leap on......

 

Yep..many times. Hard there again in 2weeks. Great riding If you like fast and smooth!

 

Higher elevation is starting to open up, it's only getting faster!

 

Awesome.... we usually end up going later in the summer, so i'm excited to try it before it gets roosted out and too dusty! Hoping to get over to the Mckenzie trail for the first time as well!

 

What kind of trails do you like? Flow, scenic, techy...

18 road is a must, supa flow, classic ridge stuff, a must ride. Do Zippety Do Da, and Joes and moJoes, and PBR. The rest is more of the same, just not as fun.
Lunch Loops are techy rides, little flow, but fun moves with bigger features.
Koko is fun, flowy and beautiful.
It’s going to be HOT during the day, but morning rides are where it’s at. Good light on the features, cool, not busy.

 

Thanks,it’s actually in palisade but I figure if I’m going I’ll bring my bike I’ll try to ride everything within an hour drive that looks fun and will continue on to steamboat after. I’m not too good with riding in 90+ degrees so fingers cross it’s rainy and cloudy when I’m there Hana

 

How early do I need to be on the trails by to beat the heat? Any shuttle trails nearby for when it’s warmer?
