Strong Start to the 2024 MTB season. Trail conditions were incredible given the liquid beating the ground had taken just days before. Our trails certainly have some of the best resident trail gnomes. The great Titanium Plates took the lead position to guide the pack through some delicious flow and gnar. We had three trail runners come out to enjoy the trails too. Everyone enjoyed towing their winter weight up the hills, however gravity favored a speedy decent down the green mile for all of us! The PAX were riding smart and conservatively desiring to avoid getting immediately jacked and then having to go home to an angry M. There will be plenty of time this year for us to overestimate our abilities and hug some trees. Over near powerline the first man down of 2024 was none other than Twinkle toes, whom is known for exhibiting some of the more entertaining MTB version of yard sales. After a nice healthy loop around the north end of our secret bike park unofficially called by some “Destination Rogue” we ventured down Peanut Butter Slide, across the river, and sampled some mild gnar. I’ll post a vid separately of our climb back up Peanut Butter Slide which will be far more entertaining than anything Hollywood puts on your screen now days. Back at COT Hall Monitor was the first of 2024 to be honored with the most prestigious OTC award, the Stumpy service award for his outstanding trail community service. Twinkle toes Got the Golden Flavoflav Ex for entertaining us with his incredible mud dive. Stretcher offered Titanium Plates homage for all of the trailwork he did all winter and gifted him with a Founders “All Day” IPA if I recall correctly. We quickly moved into 2nd F (Fellowship) mode and there where stragglers hanging around the trail head until nearly 8:30pm.
