    We can do a day at windrock. Sounds like Saturday might be good for that. Some of us can do the xc others can do the deathhill, I mean downhill

    I have ridden that trail system 3 times and still can't finish the high voltage climb without stalling out at "the wall".

    I don’t actually know anyone who has cleaned it. I’m normally gassed and don’t even attempt it by then

    If I’m doing a loop, I’m going down high voltage, not up it. Livewire climb is actually doable. Went twice last week with the guys from work and sessioned all the drops and rocks in chunky.

    So just a heads up, the group site does say “up to 10”.

    we have 5 confirmed right now, and yes I know everyone on the maybe list won’t make it. Hopefully they all do though, and we might have to grab another site then too. Idk how the campground is setup though

    There is one pretty tame trail, easy on the bike aside from the brakes. Hell, I did half of them or more on my ti hardtail. Just drop the seat and roll it out.

    You were a machine on that bike! Can't wait to ride with you again now that you will be on a proper bike for descending!

    If I don't make it for camping I can just drive up and meet y'all if we get too many people. See if I can bring a few guys from work, they rave about Windrock -- not sure my 120 bike is ready for that.

    I've been looking at putting a cane creek inline on mine. That seems to be the only one I've found that is small enough to fit. 190x45
