The Raleigh XXIX+G is a steel hardtail 29er that sports classic styling with a real disposition toward modern technology and real performance. While it's available as a singlespeed or with a 3x10 drivetrain, I chose to test the 3x10Raliegh calls this version the +G. A couple months...

Arizona Trail 300: Bikepacking Race Report Part III
posted May 16, 2013 by GimmeAraise
Getting into Oracle, I was pumped for the last section. I was tucked into my bivy as the sun slowly rose; for some reason my alarm didn't go off. Luckily I woke up just as Dave passed by. I hustled to pack up my sleeping gear and...

getting to the place isn't hard because they have a MTB sign on the side of the road where you turn to climb a crazy hill. you'll either hike the bike or granny it up on your lowest gear. once you get to the parking area you'll go through green pilons which has a very stupid steep grade which will feel like you're lungs are ganna explode. you'll either hike the bike up or granny it up while zig zagging you're way up. after a while it'll become gravel but once you get to the top is a nice overview. after that is where the trial starts. its all single track through the whole thing. you gatta watch out and moderate your speed because theres a lot of korean people that like to go hiking there and also like to bring their children along. theres just as much as hike a bike as there are decents. some areas gets really tricky so take you're time. the trail over all is really fun and challenging, i'd only recommend those who are really in good shape, especially when doing this is the summer

this trial is nice to do in the weekend. the initial climb to the trial system is all gravel and you'll have to pedel you're way up to the mountain. once you get to the top theres a small gazel where you can rest for a bit and take pictures overseeing the city. from there is a nice cruise with small ups and downs as well as some challenging short climbs. its all single track. its nice for beginners to learn to ride as it has a nice variety of decents, dirts, gravel and rock gardens. the trial overall gotten hit little bad from the past winter and theres lots of water runways which eroded the trial but its still ridable. my favorite technicle spot is riding through the rock garden with small drops in them as well at the end becuase the trial will open up and you can ride pretty fast through it. you'll wanna be careful halfway through the trial becuase the ROK army has made a bunker in the middle of the trial so dont do what i did and eat it hard in the dirt ^.^

snowdiver reviewed Tnt
All of the trails that I rode in the Wilkin's Peak Trail system were well worth the two and a half hour trip south to Green River to get there, but I must say that I really had a blast on TNT. I first rode it as a downhill after a 2 mile stint uphill on Brent and Mike's trail, but then realized that there are separate uphill sections for TNT also, so after an exhilarating ride down, I turned right around and rode it up to do it all over again. The ride up was fun too, and anyone who makes the "Sneaky Snake" on the first try is an animal. I had even more fun the second time down as I knew what to expect and I actually jumped the gully this time instead of taking the bridge. Great trail, I'll be back to ride it again, and I'm excited to explore the other trails in the area.

I was up on PP today Sat 05/18, and the trail was still just a little too snowed in to ride.

Have ridden the trail several times, never camped, but if I did would try Brazil Creek first. The reviews are correct. The part of the trail west from Brazil Creek is really just some nice hilly trail, but if you...

Hi there Matt and welcome to the fold! You're in for some awesome times. Just a couple thoughts about your comments: 1) Run, don't walk from a dept. store bike. The difference between that and the Rockhopper is so great that...

Heya Tuna, Jeff told the crew that the free version of the app was incompatible with 2.3.x version of android because of Google's ad code, not because of anything they had added themselves. They removed that code from the paid version...

Bubblehead10MM reviewed Iron Mountain
Way Awesome! I know I say nice things about most trails, but this is really cool, and lots of it. It's mostly not very technical, except for a few places. the South loop BIG. I entered at the S.E. corner and went counter clock wise. I'd say the trail is designed to go clock wise but has good features both ways. The 1st climb goes on for 2 miles up almost all the way. There were several optional big shelf drops to huck going the other way. The other side of the loop is cool, fun looks good either way, with lots of high camber turns, and several rocky sections, and short quick climbs going E, or relativity easy long climbs going W. The trails N. of the road are generally pretty easy, with some good features, but mostly just lots and lots of flowy, windy riding in the woods. Awesome work out. Also heard that there's some new trail E of river off of Channel RD.
