    VERY COOL!
    Where is that ride if I may ask? The husband is working in so cal more and more lately, and he takes his bike with him and tries to get out during the week. Lately he's been taking the roadie, but his heart is on his mtb!

    Sweet video! It started off so simple looking...and then the ledges and rocks! Looks like a blast, yet challenging. I have nothing like that here in MI.

    I'm actually planning a mountain biking trip to CA in Jan. Tentative plan is to fly into LA and out of San Diego.

    I may be hitting you up for suggestions on places to ride when the time gets closer.

    That was SOOOO cool!!! Thanks for sharing it!!! I was nervous watching that singletrack going along the side of the mtn...scary!! I don't mind falling over on my mtn bike- I just don't want to fall off a cliff!

    OMG I'd be so afraid of going off the edge! Now I know why I don't mtb. I'd rather be rock climbing
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Scha-weeeeet!!!
    Yeah, tho....the drop-off on that second section would make me second guess my decision to say "Sure. Let's go mountainbiking!"
    But I could see where you could get smokin' on some of those other sections. Fun!

    WOW! The beginning and end sections looked like great fun, but the middle section where it got narrow, rocky, and ledgy....no way could I convince myself to do that.

    I'm very impressed that you ride that, FBG! Good on you! Me, I'll stick to my wooded trails in NC, I think....

    If you like that kind of riding - you should come to Arizona to ride. It's very similar. The Phoenix riding is great, the Flagstaff riding (singletrack) is even better!

    Wow is right. I agree with Emily the middle section would be a little scary for this rider. I fall way toooooo much to be on the edge of a cliff.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
