How long is the climb up and the way down? Never ridden there.

One lap up and back down is just under 4 miles.

Oh ok. Good for quick rides... Not so good for climbing :lol:

Is it a steep HAB?

It's all rideable if you're good at technical climbing (I'm not really there yet). It's easier than climbing the way up trail at Elfin. Two laps up and down is a pretty good workout even though the mileage is low.

You will like this trail. You don't have to go down Big Rock. I can take you up Mesa then down Mesa next week. Mesa is fun and flowy. Phil (tastytrail) might join the ride next week.

Got a new/old frame this week and rode Big Rock tonight. Replaced the IH 7point with an 08 Glory 1:

NICE BIKE!!!

A little heavy i heard

Endo,
Are we still on for this?

If so, what time and exactly where?

I would like to bring my big bike, but will have to HAB and I don't want to hold anyone up (read: I'm a turtle up hills). So please let me know if this would work for the ride pace you had planned.

Also, will lights be needed? I need to charge mine tonight if so...

Looking forward to it.

Let's go! 6pm tomorrow at Cowles. Bring lights in case you want to do two runs. Park by Big Rock park:

Time to charge my lights! Not sure if Im doing 2 runs but Im bringing it just in case.

mtbgurlSD · **Posted:** Tue May 10, 2011 5:03 pm

Awesome!

Will be there. Still a question of which bike: Pivot Mach 4 or IH 7point7? I'll be pushing the IH if I bring her...

Charging lights as soon as I get home. YAY!
