Utah or Bust 2012

I used to do mountain biking, then I took a cactus to the shin...

Ah I thought as much! Just getting into singletrack now from downhill. If I get anything like this trail I'll have some awesome rides!

Awesome video man! Would you call that Singletrack, or Downhill?

Awesome man! Keep it up :)

Valparaiso Urban Downhill - Photos from the Race

A Picture tells a thousand words, it's nice just to be able to flick through and see exactly what was going on!

Hi mate, yes it will take a 38 teeth chainring. Apparently it'll possibly take 40 too. Cheers!

Ahh I see, no singletrack there then! Thanks for the info then. Let me know whenever you're going to head up to do some building or riding or whatever :)

Ah, I see what you mean.that's actually where the trails were originally. We had to move them as that area is now set aside for conservation and grazing.

Yeah it's a bloody nightmare init...spring is on it's way though. I'll try and juggle some time, if not I should have the car back on the road at beginning of February so may be sort something then.
As you're under 16 you'll need to get written parental permission...am happy to meet with them if they have any concerns.

Sundays are difficult for me as I have my daughter round...no car is a pain in the ass. Could possibly do next Saturday morning or sometime in the week.

Yes. Everything has to go through TauntonFreeriders and the Forestry. We need to do alot of repairs to the existing trails to bring them up to standard for next insepection before anything new can go in. If you want to arrange to meet up and discuss/scout a new trail let me know. If we can get the funds and manpower to get the reapirs done over the spring it's possible a new trail could be open for summer. I'm planning to start getting up there again in February and am currently trying to raise funds for materials and insurance. Salute
