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...

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

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.

I just ordered a Niterider 1800 and I'm pumped to start riding at night. I hope I don't crash and lay there all night. That's why when I night ride about 99% of the time it's with other people.

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.
