Ride Report - The Demo
Posted by PeterD Tue, 21 Nov 2006 02:38:00 GMT
We had 2 great days of riding at the Soquel Demonstration Forest (the Demo). We had about 11 folks on Saturday, and another 7 Monday. Trail conditions were awesome – that perfect time after we have had enough rain to wash the dust away, but before there is enough rain to make mud. On both rides, we went across the Rodge Trail, down Saw Pit, up the fire road to Tractor, up Tractor, back on the Ridge to Braille, down Braille, and up the fire road and out. Definitely a good workout.
I have uploaded some short video clips to Youtube, and linked to them from here…
Kevin on a rocky stretch. The video does not do it justice – this stretch is much more challenging than it appears here.
Charles riding a log.
Ok, this is probably the most impressive of the set. This guy did a jump using a hardtail Fat Chance. I think Fat City Cycles went out of business back in the 90’s, so this bike is probably 10 years old.
I know, the videos are often of people riding on stunts. I know, there is much to the Demo besides the stunts, but these generally make the best photos/videos.
