Is this still going down? Any other good spots ya know of in El Paso. I usually just go to the Franklin State Park trail. I am a newb to mtn bikin, but not to ridin.

[mountaingoat]

I will find out next week.. There are lotsa good trails and stuff around el paso.. have you seen our website? I will post an update.. next week..

[JDubb]

Yeah. I have checked out your site. I have been wantin to go check out the trails you guys have out by the lake. I usually just ride with my girlfriend tho. She got me into mountain bikin. I used to race BMX several years ago and I missed riding.

You know I'm down for some riding in Cloudcroft. I will have my revenge on that cactus.

JDubb - I haven't been out there yet, but there is supposed to be some good xc stuff off of Redd Rd. There is some riding up in Dona Ana probably a half hour or so away from you. If you are looking to do more freeride stuff, mountaingoat is probably the best guy to talk to.

Is this going to be a full out DH day, bring the big squishy and ride like the dickens sort of deal?

Where is cloud craft? Worth the drive from New Orleans?

butthead- I know a bunch of people over in Cruces. I head up there every once in a while, not to mountain bike tho. We are definitely gonna have to get together and ride some trails.



I just hope this goes down. Count me and my girlfriend in mountaingoat.



Tattooo- Cloudcroft, NM is in the mountains just outside Alamogordo , New Mexico. It is beautiful up there. I go camping up there.

I haven't ridden any of the trails at the ski resort, but they do have a downhill race there every year that everyone seems to like. The shuttle run starts in Cloudcroft on some nice and fast forest singletrack and ends up on exposed, rocky desert trails in Alamogordo. It's about 18 miles of mostly downhill with about a 4-5 mile climb in the middle. Most of the guys that went last time were on big downhill bikes with one ring up front. If you are going to make it, bring your big bike. You'll be glad you did.

According to Mapquest, that's about an 18 hour drive. If your up for getting some buddies together and doing a road trip, there is some good riding over here.
