No need to be on my case.
I stopped for a little session on Janky rock during the ride tonight. As expected came to a dead stop on the first attempt. Second was a little chunky. Third was dialed after knowing how much speed to carry coming off the rock face. It's ridable... but a little Janky.

Also VJ will be pissed. Full Broduro mode tonight. I pedaled uphill three times. Up to Raw Bones followed by Dagmal and back up Gold Mountain/Road. Full RITNB (last bit not quite done yet) with a Thread finish. Then up Coffee Grinder, stop to session Janky rock and back up Gold Mountain to Sovereign Nordic club. More up than I usually do. Might be a tad sore tomorrow.

Conditions are all good.. Like cmcrawfo said. Can't bomb out rocks and tech. Cool

Shred can borrowz my gopro to teach XB a lesson.

Im not sure I will be capable of pedaling after I healz up. 2 nights ago I had beer and 4 freezes for supper and played video games in my underwear. Last night was pretty much a repeat with chicken, beer and a whole bag of BBQ old dutch potato chips and dipped it all in Caesar sauze.. Getting fat and it feelz good.

Bro! Your suspension is wack! Front needs more compression and rear less rebound. Rock Shox, Fox, Doge.

3:19 mark and on is all uphill. Thank you for proving my point. No payoff trail. Uphill both ways from the lookout. You can have it.
I'll stick to the downhill grade of Lower Dags to Thread combo.
Upper Dags = #trailforrunners #nopayoff

Your.

Bro, speed is kept up, trail flows, there is some sick Shreddy bits... Strong on the climbs makes you strong for the descents... XB ain't afraid to pedal on the downhill bro, gots cardio for the #struggle. Little adversity just makes you stronger, try it sometime bro.

Pedaled up three times last night. One more than usual. There's the adversity.
I will draw up a simple graph about good trails for mountain bikes later and post it up. Have to get some work done first.
Upper Dags is a trail for runners. You will not convince me otherwise. (graph to come)

Here is the proof. Upper Dagmal is a running trail built by a runner now being used my MTBer's.
Note 462.2m of the total 993.8m is downhill. Close to half (technically more than half, 531.6m) is uphill. AKA an uphill both ways trail. I didn't need this graph to figure this out but is more fun this way. It says primarily downhill. Lies!

In contrast. The best trail up there right now (lower Dagmal) is 652.6m of downhill goodness.

Conclusion. Just skip Upper Dagmal if you're all about the down. Evil Razz

If you spent more time grinding and less time on graphs, you would crush upper Dagamals with ease. XB 1st place tonight in women's Fox Friday
