Sounds like it could be a fun day https://www.bikereg.com/Net/labor-day-enduro

Hahahaha, I read this to quickly and thought you were changing YOUR name to cougar ridge and was like whoaaa (insert eyebrows raised smilie - don't see em on the iPad)

Did a mtb ride a few years ago - south mountain Salisbury was above the old venue, not reggae but alt rock, can' t remember the band but it was pretty cool

maybe a few uf us could chip in on a rental, ride your xc/am bike on the less gnar stuff then pass it around for a few runs?

Would like to do this but head to da beach on 8/3

I had forgotten about bill johnson, an American classic for sure. Thanks for posting!

nice morning paddle & pedal yesterday on mauch chunk lake /switchback trail

razor's is the greenest green you'll ever see from all the urea put down during the season

nice! you may want to reconsider tuning so aggressivley!

wheew... i though toast was ridin a chick bike!

combination rail trail (compacted screenings/gravel) and road. i think the bike computer listed avg as 13+. i use the old hardtail as my "road" ride and do a bunch of rail trail riding in the valley and at the beach. i typically use 10mph for planning purposes including stops for pictures, baked goods and beers. longest rides have been 50 mi on D&L & cape may/stone harbor loops but it's a little rough tho, one of these days i'll ditch 'er for a cyclocross bike

1.5 hrs - mellow pace and mid fifties temps = not real tired or sweaty. a little gritty but nothing a washcloth, a bit of derodiant and a fresh shirt can't handle. that beers gonna taste real good when i get home tonight though

great morning to bike to work on the old hardtail! nice 18 mi ride mostly on the nor-bath and irt rail trails - lots of farms and trees and even a covered bridge but a splash of urban is what really caught my eye

from sunday - moved on

nice! why u get 155 ladies skis? ;-P

killer trip with all the right ingredients - mad skis, mountains, family, beer and friends!

After 3 years of failed plans to ski tuckerman ravine it was time to get off the seesaw of deliberation. Reports of rain, snow, moderate avy danger had me reconsidering the trip, but worse case alternate plans of a test hike with the packs to ski the sherbourne trail or a lift served day at wildcat or cannon didn’t seem all that bad. The adventure was on The forecast snow never really materialized , Saturday’s reports weren’t as crusty as expected and the avy danger was posted as low Sunday morning – it was time to go! Junior and I set out in intermittet sun and snow showers and it didn’t take us long to work up a sweat with mild temps in the mid/upper thirties. As we neared hojo’s the snow was coming down harder. After a quick break and chat with one of the rangers we continued on. The sun shined for one incredible moment as we emerged from the pines exposing the spatial glory of the rising walls of the bowl, then was gone. No words or pics can communicate seeing the awesomeness and pitch of the bowl for the first time Visibility and skier numbers were low. we observed the various ski routes through the windy mix of snow and balls of packing peanut foam as we booted up before deciding on right gully. It was slow going trying to get a foothold in the soft snow and crusty surface below with no real boot ladder. Crampons definitely would have been the way to go for the upper elevations. Youth had the advantage as I peeled off right just before the rock entrance to the gully, telling my son to go as far as he felt comfortable and to remember he still had to get his skis off the pack and click in. He quickly caught up to a group ahead and followed in their boot tracks. He disappeared up into the gully to reach about 3/4 of the way to the headwall. It felt like a lifetime in the wind and snow waiting for him to emerge before following him down. His smile best describes the ski down through bootish deep cream cheese. (There was no way I was fiddling with a camera for any action shots – it was hard enough managing the pack and skis). The sun shined for another brief moment to see our tracks. We toasted with sly fox and a&w before heading down the little headwall The sun came out again for lunch and hydration at hojo’s before setting off down the sherbourne trail. The sherbie ski’d nicely top to bottom with soft spring snow and bumps and took us right to the car. It was amazing that an hour later I had gone from full on winter to sitting on the hotel room deck having a beer in shorts and a t. Certainly a great first tuckerman trip, the un-crowded and variable conditions provided more of the alpine adventure that we were looking for vs. mountain party shit show. Since we didn’t reach the top of the headwall, I guess we’ll just have to give it a go next year for the full tux experience On the way home Monday we stopped at killington. No better way to end a ski season than 50 degrees, great coverage, and bumps, bumps, and more bumps!

wow crazy pic! was thinking of ya when i saw the weather this morning!

ending the season yesterday with the kid killing it at killington

fiberlene doesnt provide enough hockey viewing and beverage sipping time - i prefer scraping

she' a blue cruiser plus for sure - but gets intimidated easily by big mountains. she skis better than her confidence allows and is limited by that unfortuntaley

after seeing all the great pics and tr's this, year a montana tour has definately moved up on the must do list i just need to convince mrs snobunski - she is somewhat intimidated by the terrain

looking good! (doesn't wan to embed?) even looks doable on my current rig! cool article about the builders; http://www.fattirefests.com/interview-dave-king-the-mastermind-behind-dirt-sculpt/

Bummed they closed - was headed up this morning when I saw your nyskiblog post and jr and I headed to platty instaed
