MTB Camp & Ride - Knoxville Urban Wilderness and Windrock

I do, but I don’t know if I can actually progress at windrock. That’s what I’m saying.

like, to teach someone to swim do you throw them in the deep end and say “progress”?

 

@jjones.yota likes to get in his own head but then kill it when he actually gets out on the trail.

 

Stop it.


I do get in my own head.



yes I’m bored at work.



but I don’t kill it on the bike.

 

Where would you be driving in from? If you're driving 12 hours, I think you should ride where you feel comfortable in order to make it a fun and memorable trip. If you're an hour away, I think you should ride w/ everyone, even if you have to walk some sections, because you can always go back at any time if youre that close.

 

I just looked at a vid of WIndrock XC and that looks super fun and pretty tame. Not sure what all trails at the Park look like though.

 

I’m only 3 hours away.

 

You made it down Lower Black and then later you made it down Lower Black.

 

Making it is easy, doing it “well” is different.

 

You won't do it well until you do it

 

Just do it

 

See swimming metaphor...

 

Windrock isn't all "the deep end". There is easy, flow stuff there, super steep, chunky with drops and a bunch of stuff in-between.

 

but you'll have your floaties (protection).

Plus the buddy system.

 

But in comparison to all of Knoxville, is it worth it? Lol

 

The buddies run off lol.

I’ll have @tweakit88

 

If I'm riding in a group I ride to nearest check point stop and wait, or less depending on how the trails are.
However, in this group there will be those that have to wait on me as well.

 

I thought so and I went there with a titanium 130 hardtail with XC brakes. I'm no extraordinary rider, just a flatlander that likes to go fast on two wheels, and I had some reservations about riding the DH side of windrock, but once I gave it a chance I had fun, rode stuff (successfully) that I never would have tried otherwise and had fun with the group.

 

I'll say I didn't see one person at windrock not smiling. DH bikes, HT bikes, Trail Bikes, didn't matter.

 

This is what I needed.

not “just go” haha.

like an actual review.
