Would be good but from what I know/heard about Cowles, foot traffic on the weekend is a lot so you might not enjoy the decent as much since you're pretty much on a watch for hikers. Its a fun ride though :D

Yeah that could've been ugly. Cowles would have broken it the rest of the way for sure... could have hurt, a lot.

I've ridden there a couple of times around 8:00am on the weekends and it's not SUPER bad if you use a bell, but there are definitely a bunch of people around.

Yeah, good thing you noticed the frame BEFORE the ride.


Thanks for a great ride Endo! I really liked that trail. Sooo glad I did not bring the Pivot.

:thumbsup:

That's an awesome offer dude, thanks. I've been wanting to try out a Nomad for a while. Might be a little small for me though.
