I was riding up the climb ahead of it with a local, who warned me "Hey, be careful. It can really throw you far and lots of people end up wrecking their first time."
I took her advice... for the first little tabletop.
I've never been on a trail that made you feel like a far, far better rider than you are like Half Nelson did. Riding it blind for the very first time, exhausted after 6-days of riding, I felt like I couldn't do anything but find perfect flow.
Have you ever actually involuntarily yelled for joy? I honestly don't know that I had before that moment.
My only regret is not staying in Squamish for a few days of more riding after the race. As soon the border's open again, that's where I'm headed.
yes, Dr. Park in Crested Butte is awesome (probably #2 in my opinion)
yes, Slickrock in Moab is iconic
but if I could only ride one trail for the rest of my life, I'd pick Half Nelson, and I wouldn't even need to think that hard about it.
now if we could just get the a-holes in the US to wear a mask, so COVID could be over so that we can travel to BC again?? pretty please?
We WILL go back. No doubt about it. It's just too good. And BCBR is a repeat for our 40th birthday as a group (all friends from way back in high school). I'm 37...can't wait to age.
