Re: DAMN Reunion 19-21 May 2017
Shade has more in the way of difficult climbs than I saw at mountain ridge. I really like the tight section at shade with lots of turns. I suck at it but it's good practice for sure. It definitely is tiring, particularly for my left hand, which has gone 'dead' every time I've been there. I need to get back to shade now that I've got the rekluse in the xtrainer. I'm thinking my hand will be happier now. It seems like we have ended up on the southern part of the perimeter, the tougher/rockier section, when my hand is already toast... Hard to hold on in those rocks.

I let that dog BoomBoom talk me into riding Shade a few years back.gots_a_sol wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 6:24 pmI have a buddy who will never step foot there again after 1 trip and he is decent in the rocks
I think I sold my bike shortly after that.

It's actually pretty easy, except for the rocky spots! UNLESS you have a worn out tire in the packed snow!

I don't hate Shade, and it has caused me more surgeries than Mountain Ridge has

All my >50GB of riding video were pointing to the ground, didn't check it at the start :D.
But for muddy places it is ok, so here's my compilation of mud from Mountain Ridge.

Keep the vids coming guys!
Sorry you had to ride by yourself nobody. Im glad you never got stuck in any of those deep mud holes, could have been a miserable experience.

Looks to be about 2.5 hours from Sykesville. About the same as Mountain Ridge. Let's do it. Might be time for me to put a proper skid-plate on the CRF.

Re: DAMN Reunion 19-21 May 2017
Good idea. As stated, some of the trails are tough, uphill with rocks is not fun. Some of it is not so bad. There is a gravel road running kinda down the middle for bail outs and an easy run back to parking lot.rclangelan wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2017 9:30 amLooks to be about 2.5 hours from Sykesville.

I can honestly say that the last time I was up there I saw very few rocks --->viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4304&start=30

Ken that was 7-mountains dual sport loop. That was more like paved road riding....Shade is what good single track is supposed to be like.Kyler wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 7:42 pmI let that dog BoomBoom talk me into riding Shade a few years back.gots_a_sol wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 6:24 pmI have a buddy who will never step foot there again after 1 trip and he is decent in the rocks
