Mystic, did you ride two laps carrying around a folding ramp!?
The routine has been to ride with it to near the top of the climb ... There’s a nice spot there to set up and practice a bunch... leave the ramp there while doing the first lap... Pedal back up and practice some more... Pack up and do the second lap with the ramp on the back.
It doesn’t come with a waste strap but it’s easy enough to slip one on to keep it from flying around on your back too much.
8 - Hard pedalling up Mount Prevost, Hard braking on the way down Memphis... we're never fast and today felt extra tentative... sometimes you're in the groove and sometimes you're not
14 - A 7 km ride with our little 12 year old rescue mutt in Doumont with some detours to do some flagging for future projects.
Followed by another ride without the dog, mirroring our first and doing some rough cutting in of the lines as well as some tree fall maintenance on several other trails. Should have brought the chainsaw, my arms are toast!

That's just the humbling experience Prevost always offers, especially if you aren't experienced in the area. There's a reason some of the worlds greatest downhill racers train here and some of the world's greatest were in fact raised on these trails.
