breezer's trail report - Saturday July 11/09

The high country in the front ranges is dry ... its game on!

Its been a pretty good season so far ... the big rides are finally in play, the second half of the season should be epic!

The local stuff is in its normal good shape. Fish Creek, Weaslehead and Sideshow are all seeing a fair bit of traffic ...

As I was saying ... rides like the Elbow Loop, Jumpingpound Ridge, Powderface, and southern classics like Grass Pass should be ridden ASAP as conditions dictate. Pick a dry day!

The lower trails in the mountains are in pretty good shape right now. Rides like Sulpher Springs, Tom Snow, and the Little Jumpingpound loop are in awesome shape. Check out the Bragg Creek webcam and have a look at Moose mountain.

Get to Golden ... ride Kicking Horse and, of course, the Moonraker system ... so sweet!

Canmore is in awesome shape these days ... if you haven't been for a while ... its worth a visit or two.

School is out ... and Millennium skate park ist busy again in the mornings ... get there early, have a sesh, and get out. The park is in great shape, please remember .... skaters and bikers generally ride different lines, often crossing lanes, so look before you go. Skaters have priority ... unless you're going huge.

see you on the trails ... aloha, bob@mountainbikecity.com

I've been running the Lyrik U Turn this season on the Intense ... its adjustable from 120 - 160mmm, has hi and low speed compression damping, and a 20mm quick release axle. Its pretty stiff and smooth ... an awesome AM fork.
