Hey all, here are a few photos from a short trip this past weekend. Haven't been able to get out this year because of the new shop, but finally said enough and closed for a Saturday, heading out for at least an overnighter. My friends Ryan and Danny joined for a couple days of very high altitude, primitive trail, really fun riding. Typically I don't ride fatbikes in the summer, but given the primitive nature of the trails on our route we gave it a go. Pretty fun as long as we weren't trying to rip descents... I was on my Fatback, Ryan on his Salsa, and Danny on his Pugs. Ryan in the upper photo, Danny in the last two. I took lots of photos but don't have time to post them all - here are a few good ones. You may recognize Sections 22/23 of the CT, which we did on the second day.
For those of you planning on the CTR this year, there is water just before Cateract Lake in the valley leading out of Wagner Gulch. Wasn't sure if the creek would be running, but it was going fine! Smoke was visible as distant haze but immediate air quality was just fine.
This year I've been working with Andrew at Bedrock Bags quite a lot and I used his Entrada bar bag along with his Wingate stem bag. Both performed flawlessly. I like the Revelate seat bag because it's the best thing out there - and I like Bedrock bar bags because I think they're the best out there. The fact that I contributed a few ideas to the bar bags has nothing to do with it...
