I got a chance to ride Valley View and the new fingers changes. I'm loving the loop they made out of VV and then head down the fingers trail. Tight trail, but makes for a great loop.

Yes, they do an incredible job of making a fun play area o 400 acres. I have a little ten mile loop of almost all single track that is way fun. Just do that six times. Ha I say.

Great riding there today. I rode a trials bike on the Four Fingers and Snake trails. OMG was that fun.

Seriously, huge fun. There was a guy in the middle of a tricky uphill gully and he was er, stopped, like blocking the approach to a big nasty... We just rode around him. Trials bikes are pretty amazing.

When in doubt gas it!
Butch fun riding with you there today, my first outing on a trials bike and yes OMG fun !!! Every black diamond trail there is a big green easy on a trials bike no kidding. Then later went out to the lower half of the park to search out some of the rocky trails, and again looking for more difficult stuff then there is out there. Trials are a blast!!!! Hooked for life.:teeth And the trials area is fun to. Thanks Metcalf Rangers:thumbup And thanks Drew for hooking me on trials..try it and you get addicted fast...be careful.

Thanks to the Metcalf staff for providing and maintaining a dedicated trials area. We greatly appreciate it.

Butch/undertheoaks: Glad you guys showed up for todays ride and had a good time today!

Reality check: you guys suddenly figured out regular dirt bikes don't hold a candle to a trials bike in really gnarly stuff... and yes you can get serious air on a trials bike. But that's not the point is it? It's all about bike control and finesse.

We'll see y'all out at Frank Raines next week for the British-American Cup.
