Review: Raleigh XXIX+G Steel 29er
posted May 17, 2013 by mtbgreg1
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...

GoldenGoose reviewed Lick Fork (Horn Creek)
Trail is in pretty bad shape right now from downed trees. Two bridges were totally trashed. Might want to check the CSRA sorba website for more info before driving down to rider this one for a few months.

jamesm925 reviewed Centennial Cone Park
fantastic XC loop for those who like long climbs and descents that let you focus on speed instead of technical rock sections.

fast, flowy, fun.

the loop is long enough to be satisfying and has gorgeous views.

the narrow trail and steep slopes are a little intimidating, especially given the sand in some areas.

great place to put in some hard XC efforts and work on negotiating hairpins.

The view is EPIC, and I highly recommend this loop for those seeking something fun and flowy in the front range.

There's a nice combination of exposed singletrack and tacky forest singletrack.

half of the loop is closed until june 15th, but you can take douglas mtn road to robinson to camino perdido for some breath-taking views and solid climbing.

The evening sun trail is a nice loop at the top you can take to add some extra miles.

I went on a beautiful saturday afternoon. The trail wasn't insanely crowded. I had to pull over for riders about 8 times. Could've been worse.

PSUtuna reviewed Beaver Run
This is a great trail for a beginer. Short and flat. You can ride it as an out and back, or connect with the road to make a loop. Just be advised that the trail does end at a sporting clay area, and you may hear gun fire. Don't be alarmed, but keep your eyes open!

PSUtuna reviewed Turkey Ridge
Nice singletrack ride. Has a few creek crossings, and full of switchbacks. I suggust riding this loop before hitting the other two trails at Hickory Knob. Has more climbs than the other two, but nothing major. Great trail, and one of the reasons why Hickory Knob is one of my favorite places to ride!

Greatest beer in the world is Bell's Two Hearted. It's an IPA with 7% alcohol with a hint of a grapefruit after taste. Brewed in Comstock Michigan. This is how I know God loves me. +1 on Bell's Two Hearted. I...

PSUtuna replied to Re: The Beer Thread on the forums
I'm an IPA guy myself, and don't really feel that an IPA should be drank out of a can. An IPA needs to be ice cold and served in a chilled glass. On the other hand, if I gotta pick...

BHallinCO reviewed Colorado Trail / Green Mountain
Great trail! Went out and did this one for the first time today. Has a little bit of everything. I rode the CO trail from Little Scraggy TH, to the Green Mtn Loop, looped around and back. 2.5 hr ride time. Some good rollercoaster stuff. All the climbs were manageable with a longer sandy one about 1/2 way coming back that took most of the energy to keep the wheels churning. Lots of roots across the trail but all-in-all probably my favorite trail so far I've ridden here in CO. A little bit of traffic on the trail but for a nice Saturday in Colorado, not too bad. The Green Mountain loop is a nice treat, awesome descent.

GoldenGoose reviewed Baker Creek
This trail might as well be taken off the database completely. It hasn't been maintained in years and the tread has all but disappeared. Even with a GPS unit strapped to my handle bars, I still couldn't find 3/4s of the trail. Its not just overgrown. IT IS GONE. Don't waste your time.

GoldenGoose reviewed Modoc (Stevens Creek Trail)
Fun creek side riding on good tread. The soil seems to dry up and drain very well. This would be a good alternate trail to ride after it rains. One big tree down about 2 miles from the parking lot will require a chainsaw or at least a detour. There are other trees down but most of them are rideable.
