Nice place near by St. Louis. All up My Tracks says 9.78 miles and 2801 vertical gain (including back tracks and connectors.) I'm not sure where all that vert came from. There are no monster climbs, but lots of little ones some short and steep and a couple gradual long ones. Most of it is good fun ride in the woods. Many fun water crossings mostly with well laid stones or found material in them. GORC maintains trails, and they're in pretty good shape, except loosing battle with vegetation, both from above and below, and a occasional dead fall. Good maps at TH's and markers at intersection, mostly easy to follow. You can ride parts of 1, 2,3, 4 and or 6 as a sircute or individual trails as loops. 5 is a supper fun little roller coaster, and 8 is very roller coastery to but wide and starting to wash out a little. 7 is a short side track.

Is that a sponsored badge, by any chance Jeff? Because if it isn't, you should consider it. It would be a fantastic way to get some advertising revenue. Have certain badges that are reflected on a premier badge page, the users'...

I want to see how that holds up on a nice 10' drop 10 foot drop? I wanna see it go over a curb without the rider falling off or the tire/tube doing something terrible. Good point! It would probably...

Harbin's caters better to beginner and intermediate riders. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but its not a destination that I choose very often. There are too many more interesting options relatively close by. The newer trails are super wide and super easy. The older trails are fun to ride, but they just don't have enough length. Great place to introduce a newbie to trail riding, and godd enough place if you live nearby and hit it up occasionally for variety.

Just added a new badge: MTB Whistler. Check in at any trail within 25 miles of Whistler (including the resort of course). Who's going to be there first to grab this one? http://www.singletracks.com/ci/badges/89.png

I worked in Oakridge Oregon when it was a booming logging town. That is long gone and mountain biking offers the community with tons of national forest trails some hope to improve its financial future. Bend doesn't really need the...

Another tip: how to know if the rim is out of true due to spoke tension or a bent rim. If the spokes on the side of the wobble are loose, that means the spoke didn't pull the rim over...

This article got me thinking about the other one posted recently, stating how bike sales are going down. The inference I draw from this is that bikes have become more sturdy and reliable, lasting longer before you need to buy...
