I’ll be able to join for the first time this year! 7:30 at the cricket trees? Another spot?

Checked this route today. Epic conditions

Perfect for fat, half fat and non fat alike. A few icy spots in beaver flats. Go get it!

Pretty cool conditions tonight – deep packing snow all over the don. Was fun on all of the lower lines and crothers, though some climbs proved too much for half fatties. Should stay cold enough tomorrow to make for a really fast ride Monday night.

Just finished an early ride at -1.5 temps and the trails look pretty nice.

Ridge, cat, boo, bunny, dirt farm and flats all good, no spikes needed. Lower cat has a few icy spots.

Would not encourage going out unless it’s been below freezing all night. Lots of potential for trail damage. That being said – tons of traction today.

Don is great… with spikes. Some of the ridge is surprisingly clear (cricket to poo plant). Boo and the flats as well as sht, Vietnam etc are sheer ice.

Sweet photos! Did you need spikes in Durham?

Hi all

I’ve mounted a set of hefty 27+ wheels that I’d be happy to let someone try if they fit. I’ve got them on my 29er and have put over 500k in for fun so far.

It’s a great way to get more use out of an already expensive toy – I’m hoping it’ll help bridge over the winter.

Lots of fun and traction to be had on the east. Quads has a few trees down and a crazy eroded mini bridge about half way through (a plank rests unsupported on the out end as you head south).

Sick conditions today with a wonderful surprise – some fantastic improvements on boomerang making the east end way better.

Low areas in the east are wet but manageable – training loop, fruityloop, quads and sauriol.

Still can’t get my head around some of the bridges over on the east – how do you guys do it?

Had a dedicated “short on time workout ss”bike and slowly transitioned to riding it more than any other bike in the quiver. That being said it wasn’t plagued by wheel flex and the wheel set was using a 9 so compatible hub. Jcitizen is right. The wheel builder literally and figuratively makes the wheel.

I’m honestly looking forward to the next ss…[Read more]

Quick check of the trails shows most are ideal. Slightly wet on rim job etc. where the typical spots are.

Get a rip in before Saturday’s rain!

Lots of trilliums, trout lilies and leeks for those looking.

Sorry. Wasn’t specific. I will be targeting the ride in e creek staring at Curtis.

Thanks for the info!

I’m so in… Provides did can fly back in time. Stuck in Chicago and dying for a chance to ride the west end trails with expert guides!

See you at noon!

Just got back from a quick scouting. Ridge is good while Boo is a bit delicate in 2 notable places.

Looks like a great weekend, especially late Sunday into Monday.

Crisp and fairly good prior to 8:45 this morning on the ridge, flats, motown and boomerang. A number of 6 inch and smaller trees down on motown and a big one on boomerang – 2 feet or more.

Bailed out once the sun started it’s work. I’d expect that a ride over 2h still needs lights in the am.

Go home winter you’re drunk!
