Scott's Flat Loop This ride was a long time in the making.  The 2 previous times I've tried to ride the Hoot Trail & Scott's Flat it was either snowing or muddy.  This time C-lock and I went up with the plan to park at the bottom of Scott's Flat ride the road up, do a few laps on Hoot and ride down the hill to the beers...all of the beers.  Everything went as planned and although while recording I was thinking I wasn't talking much it ended up coming together.

Gene from RGMTB (Regular Guy Mountain Biking) was in NorCal for work and was able to get away for a day to come up to South Lake Tahoe with me. We rode Armstrong Pass, Armstrong Connector, and Corral. It ended up being a pretty eventful ride. All in all we came out having a good time and lots of laughs. *Check out Handup Gloves use the code B1kER for 10% off!

This day in Downieville was a true adventure.  We knew we were getting out early into the season.  The shuttle weren't rolling yet so we had to self shuttle ourselves up the hill.  However despite a few snow patches in the vehicles and on the trail we made the best of the day.  It was great getting to know Tess and Steve as well as sessioning the some of the features and all the trail banter.  If you haven't seen their channel definitely take a look.  Good times, great trail, awesome people!

This was truly a cool experience. It's not often that you get to try something that is a completely new technology. For a long time I've said the derailleurs have got to go. Seeing it actually in production is super cool to me. I wasn't sure what to expect, didn't do any research on the bikes, and just showed up with an open mind and lots of questions.

Thanks to Krank Cycles and Moonlight Leatherfoot for getting married, I ended up getting my first opportunity to ride bike outside the continental US. We hit the Pineapple Express trail at the Makawao Trail System. Although you can't really tell in the edit, the ground was extremely muddy. There had been a huge storm system that just rolled through and the ground didn't have any time to dry out before we were up there trying to make a day of it. EDIT: If you are going to Maui and want to rent a bike definitely check out Krank Cycles.  Awhile back they had a fire and thier location has changed, but I'm sure the service hasn't.

Katie and I were fortunate enough to get out to the Sedona MTB Festival this year. What an awesome event!  Norco Bikes invited me to hang out at their tent and put Katie on badass new Norco Range.  Handup Gloves gave me a pair of gloves to demo which was totally unexpected as well as much appreciated. Jeff Lenosky led a group ride that I'm still debating if I was lucky to join in for.  It was awesome to meet so many subscribers, companies, and fellow YouTubers. It was truly one of the best mtb experiences I've had off the trail.  I would highly recommend going to this event.

I got another taste of riding in the cold weather. OVER IT!!! Otherwise this ride was super fun. I finally got a chance to ride with a subscriber that recently had shoulder surgery. Even though it took a few months to make this ride happen it was worth the wait. Lots of flow in Hidden Falls. If you are going to ride there on a weekend, make sure you reserve your parking before going. The parking sells out and there is not an ability to pay when you get there.

I could only look at the Saints in the box for so long until I finally worked up the motivation to put them on the bike. However, I'm very efficient at being lazy and this time I think it really worked out! Thanks to Worldwide Cyclery and Velofix the SCRAM Chipmunks have been executed!

This ride is a great example of how well I plan. A few weeks before I rode the Hoot trail and had a blast. It was a muddy ride and I was itching to get back up there and do it again in nicer weather. I knew it wasn't buried under snow yet so we took off. It's a fairly long drive to get up there and it was on the way we noticed the thermometer on the truck just diving. By the time we got there it was snowing. Even though we were not dressed for the ride we dug through our bags and made due with some stuff we had. All in all, it was an adventure and part of why I love mountain biking. Garmin or Strava JPG or PDF Cindy Whitehead Story
