Car Info: A limousine with a chauffer
Yeah I was looking at the HR 301 (I think that's it) but it's a trainer that uses GPS to calculate speed and distance, it doesn't do maps and plotting. So I looked at the something-trek 201 and it was $170, the 20% doesn't apply and I didn't want a GPS $170 worth. I bought some new shoes instead..my other ones are looking pretty tired

Clementine. OMG. I had SOOO much fun today. That trail is incredible. The climb (2.5 - 3 miles) is a bear, but you feel GOOD when you finish. Mike and I stop about half way up for a quick breather and that was it. I felt great today.
Then after the climb the rest of the trail is singletrack, downhill, technical, you name it. Jumps. Everything. ****ING awesome.
Pics:
Riding under Foresthill bridge. Clementine climbs you considerably higher than the bridge:
Half way up the climb:
What's in store (another 1.8 miles of this):
Here the trail crosses old foresthill rd (we're on the downside now):
That hump on the right is dangerous. I nearly got a good taste of dirt and rock after going over that
:
Here's Egan. I warned him about the hump:
Here's me!
The rest of the trail (another 2-3 miles) is all like this. BAD ***:
Hey look! It's quarry trail! How cute!

Half the climb is paved, half is dirt. The paved part isn't hard, it just takes a while and you can't stop pedaling. I get some decent endurance because of all the wind out here that I'm constantly riding through .
Whole trip is like 8-9 miles (I forgot to turn my computer back on after a break at the top) and it took us about an hour and a half. When we got done it felt like it had been 15 minutes and I wanted to go again. This is my favorite type of trail - I like olmstead and others but I get sick of going up some nasty climb only to go down a dinky hill and back up again. That **** gets old. This one, you do this massive climb and then the rest of the trip gravity takes over and you just have some FUN. In the technical areas you're getting to a point where you're stopped and balancing over rocks (don't fall to the left or you'll hope a rock stops you from entering the river) and pedaling in granny gears. It was awesome.

My only complaint with Clementine is the rocky mess on the way back, along the cliffside. Some of it is tough to ride and my vertigo starts kicking in.
