Riding today from 27 lot at 5:00 if anyone would like to join. Could be last time to ride for a few days with rain coming...

A few of us were there yesterday and condtions were great...we're doing CR at 5:30 today

 

[walter]

Yeah, what he said. It was actually pretty dry/dusty, some rain might make it nice and tacky.

 

[Dr Superb]

Went yesterday and had some fun. Trails were mostly perfect...a little wet but not too wet, some puddles here and there. I was having a blast on all the "features" that someone built back there. I can ride all of them except for this log with ramps on either end. I don't know why I can't do it...everytime I would ride up to the log, my mind would freak out and I'd fall off. But I had no issue with any of the other bridges...

Good conditions today. Counted about 5 small puddles. Should be perfect for the weekend.

you gotta get yourself a patch kit or two.

 

[martin]

i have two =]

i just wasn't gonna sit on the trail playing with glue n sandpaper....

i patched the tubes last night and hopefully they'll hold...

both holes looked almost like pinch flats.... but on 1 side

i guess my TP was too low...?

gonna go tubeless for xmas =]

glueless patches are better. and i'd run at least 40 psi at 6MR.

is that an old school recommendation?

40psi? That's probably why the technical "climb" over on the red trail was giving you problems. How much do you weigh?

 

[Pearl]

are you talking about fork pressure or tire pressure? 😛

 

[martin]

i run 35psi at 6mr i weigh 200 lbs and have no log hopping skills...

 

[gmb3]

Hello, my name is George and i am old school i guess. I ride a hardtail with v-brakes and I do actually run 40 psi in my 2.0 width tires. I weight around 175. I do not have any problems with any section at 6MR. Any less pressure in the tires and i feel like they're bogging me down. At 40 psi they still hold great in the corners and climbs and i dont get that "bouncy" feeling when i'm pedalling that i hate.

 

[blip4383]

How do you know how much tire pressure to use on which trails? I usually keep my tire pressure at the higher end of the recommendation. Are you riding 35-40 psi at 6mr because the dirt is softer/looser? Would that mean you would ride 45-50 psi at Chimney Rock because of all the rocks?
