I don't know who built the West Side trails we rode but they did a kick ass job. Rockwork Orange is a new trail and it's pretty obvious the builders are burly riders. Rockwork lives up to its name and is a perilous route along terraced ridges of stone. There is exposure, technical moves a plenty, and provides a challenging and full on ride far out of the realm of the bike park. Dre has spent most of the year on a Rocky Altitude 27.5, which he says is an amazing bike that can do anything, from the Enduro World Series to Triple Crown all day rides. With 150 mm of travel and adjustable geometry, it's a true 'Do it all' bike. Interestingly, Dre says that his "riding is only getting better." When he said that my mind instantly flashed to the savage frothing XC beast he once was. How could he be a better rider now than then? However, I suppose back then he was peaking more on fitness compared to handling ultra rugged terrain. Therefore, at 42 years of age, the fact that Dre says his skills are only getting better both makes sense and is pretty inspiring. Thanks to the new bikes, it is easy to see why even the most seasoned riders can just keep progressing their aptitude, if the body holds out. Dre is truly a 'Trail Blazer' for all of us mountain bikers. But, he is also still one of the most dyed-in-the-wool single track hounds anywhere, and that is what makes him exceptional.
