Anyone need a light? Just requires constant hitting at inopportune moments.I'll be there, bike is already in the car
One of my lights must have gone out in sympathy with yours last night.Anyone need a light? Just requires constant hitting at inopportune moments.
Haha, you picked a brilliant spot to depart the trail though! Not many clear and open spaces along there...One of my lights must have gone out in sympathy with yours last night.
The light on my handlebar kept cutting out after about a minute leaving me with just my head light, caught a bad shadow at the bottom of Cressy and got disorientated, so ended up bailing into a clearing off the side of the trail haha.
Travs, Lactic, Boulder, Junction (black part) are all two way. Only one-way trails are Bandages, Turbulence and Cressy.So it got me thinking.... is it two way? I didn't see any wrong way go back signs near the bottom.
It leaves something to be said for berming up and putting drops on a climb trail. The reason it's called Lactic Acid is because it was built as a quick techy climb to get the legs burning. It's 6-7min up whereas Rockwell is about double that.@leitch said:it always shits me when you’re climbing up Rockwell (the only climbing trail on the Stockyards side)
Definitely. Rockwell is a boring climb, and Lactic is a fun climb, but not one you want to be doing on a weekend morning knowing that it's also a fun, fast descent. I agree that it's clearly been a change in riding styles that's caused the problems, but the trails should evolve in kind.It leaves something to be said for berming up and putting drops on a climb trail.

Fast forward to the flow trail fad and Lactic is now more popular as a descent. If that's the case, build a new direct climb. Make it a 1 way up...The road is shit, and Rockwell is boring AF. Kind of feel sorry for the XC mob.
