Good to hear man, this was my first singletrack ride, i rode at my reservation last week but it was mainly roads. i'm still not close to being back to 100% though i can't spin hard to clear tough climbs and really was doing all the downhill seated strategically placing my foot up to avoid the bumps and was praying on some switchbacks haha. but i'm getting sooo much better day by day, i hope to be able to do easy rides like SST, St. Eds, Tolt soon without needing the gravity assist. :)

i think that'd be a good ride for me actually i'm gonna be riding easy stuff this week (road riding etc...) and try to stand more and put more and more pressure on the leg to get it used to it. i really think by the time this weekend rolls by i'll be ready for it. :thumb: :) :) :)
did you guys like my volcano drawing? :p

Too bad I'll be over at the Rat Sunday. I still want to get you guys across the valley to check out Griffin and Tokul. Both better winter rides that Tolt.
Good move to push the ride out one day. Saturday is looking mighty, "November".

Not better, different. Have you ridden with JD the guy that made alot of the Griffin trails?
i'd really like Tokul ALOT better if the trails weren't seperated by so much forest road. No continuity really, guess more trail work is needed to bring singletrack together, but really so much moist mucky wet terrain for being elevated on a plateau.....
