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

Happy to see all the Santa Cruz Chameleon riders here. Such a fun bike

 

Glad I'm not the only crazy one riding on a non-fat bike in the snow

 

Up broken arrow -> high on the hog -> hog heaven -> hogwash. You could add in pig tail and peccary as well if you want a little bit of flow.

 

Bakers elusive creek.

 

In Alabama..

 

Not even enough to give the bike a problem, get out there on the trails slacker

 

Trails are all closed around me.

 

"Hole-y" hell. This made my morning!

 

This is why we ride.

 

Rode that loop on Saturday. Can confirm - awesome loop.

 

I last time I was up there I rode highline in the morning and some of these in the afternoon. Highline was a bit too much for me then but that was abt a year ago. The hog trails were perfect difficulty last time so maybe this time I clear everything instead of walk 1-2 spots. Highline I had to walk a ton on the uphill with some of the awkward chunky bits.

 

Ohhhh

 

Next on my list, some riding glasses. My buddies swear by Oakleys with Prizm Trail Torch lens. What do you guys like?

 

I wear my 5 year old Ray bans. Prob not what most people would opt for but they don't move and they've seen some wear over the years before I started riding with them.

 

I definitely think hiline is a harder trail than the hogs, though the exposure factor is greater on hogs in my opinion. If you wanna step it up another notch, go ride hangover.

 

I gotta think about who I'm riding with for that one lol. The next weekend up I'll be the best rider there and I'm not sure I'm ready for that one yet. Hiline and the hogs I've ridden before so I can try to point out some stuff to others. Hangover would be riding blind while unsure about it with some lesser riders. Definitely on the list of need to ride

 

Hiline has one area that is super tough and definitely proline features. Hangover is great until you get to the backside and the exposure gets pretty gnarly.
I MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT be down in Sedona next week if you wanna ride and still around.

 

Don't forget to go to the end of "broken arrow" to "chicken point". That's where the views are! AND you can see the white line from there.

 

I think I know the bit on hiline you speak of. Right as you start to drop off after the open slickrock area. It gets super steep until the end of the trail. And to see White Line and chicken point don't know if we'll bike out there but I may run broken arrow in the truck just to say I've done it. Can catch some views and photos then.

 

X-tiger. Surprisingly good for <$30 on Amazon. Several of us here have them. I actually stopped wearing my (non-prizm) oakleys to wear these instead.
