Time lapse on HighFIVES. (I don't know a way to slow it down)

The time-lapse video shows some pretty buff terrain. Barely a rock or root to be seen.

Another friend was there riding at Sky Tavern yesterday & said it was definitely worth a return visit!

Friday was a good ride on the usual local circuit.

Lookout for what? ;-)

I took a much more relaxed approach to riding today. All county road and double track. I stopped to smell the roses. Well, take pictures. The roses aren't out yet, but will be soon.

These appeared much more yellow than the previous ones, but the photo doesn't show it.

The east side of Bald Mt., the mountain across from Breck that are in so many of my sky photos. The two dogleg chutes are nice spring runs.

I didn't bring my saw today.

I prefer manicured but yeah, some jumps are about it.

 

[Tricia]

Love seeing little ones getting stoked about biking!

There was a lot of that at at Sky Tavern yesterday.

I really hope people get more involved with Sky Tavern with events like this.

I guess Purple was the color of choice.

The Chutes are looking kinda thin

Fire!
It was a fire lookout up until recent times.

Spokane has a fantastic fun trail system at Beacon Hill. It was raining off and on so we avoided goofing off on some of the fun looking features because 1) we were pretty soaked and 2) slippery when wet!

Did you go up Angora and down Mule Deer Connector?

really hope people get more involved with Sky Tavern with events like these

I'm sure they'd love some help with the Enduro this weekend.


TCXC->Lakeview Ridge Trail->Tahoe Rim Trail->Glass Mountain

Did you go up Angora and down Mule Deer Connector?

Yes & then up Tahoe Mountain & down the North side to home.

Back up to Star Lake & Cold Creek yesterday. Hero dirt after Sunday’s rain…

& still tacky on Armstrong today…

A quick after work ride today. Nothing spectacular, and no photos, but it is nice to have the north facing trails clear and in good shape.

The Biggest Little Trail Stewardship is working on the initial flagging of about 14 more miles of trail on Peavine. Some BLTS folks, @Philpug, and I have been having a good time looking at things from scratch.

I got to be the hole poker/flag sticker inner today.

A bouquet of trail flags next to a real flower.

@Philpug and Charlie GPSing a new line.

Follow the flags.

With Jack T Traildog.

Our fearless leader Curtis.

Well you got the white hat on which means you ain't doing nothing!!

That's my home trails. It's amazing how many trails and how much variety they squeezed into that area

^^^ That sticker needs to be on e-bikes!

Did a bunch of this yesterday, with an old friend!

It really is! We wished the weather was better because we could have spent hours there.

 

[Andy Mink]

It is. That's @Tricia's. She got a batch of them and I have one too!

You want one?

It is. That's @Tricia's. She got a batch of them and I have one too!

I thought it was funny that your tool for putting flags in the ground warns of electricity, just when I stickered my bike.

 

[Tom K.]

You want one?

If I had an e-bike, absolutely. Probably not Mrs. K's style, but thanks!
