Everyone, Here's a little report on the trail. Like John said, Felix and I rode the whole loop on Sunday. We were told that 180 horses rode the trail on...
That's too bad, since the trail just opened for the season and they have effectively ruined it for the entire season. We just rode it 2 weeks ago and the...

NO, ride the trail now. Snow can last until mid/late June-ish and if you wait until mid/late Sept, you can get some not so fun weather. Ride it now but wear...

The latest groupsets from Shimano XTR & XT really only work as a whole. Add to that the complexity of the new integrated shifters i personally feel there a...
