You don't need a SPOT for this trail...

[The Yeti]

I've fallen over way too many times on 'nice smooth dirt' to trust my skills when my life depends on it.  Nope...I would NOT ride that for any amount of money or glory.

Man, the resonses are all over the board. I am somewhat surprised. You guys ride like animals.... I thought you would all want to go.

[torgo]

I'm in,  either the KDX or my new Beta Rev3 I am picking up in Oct.

[Bogus Jim]

I thought you would all want to go.

I think the DDSR crowd could ride that trail... as long as we didn't try to tow any bikes. 

[jacin theis]

ow Jim, ow.     that was below the chain, bottom of the knobby, stinks worse than year old ethanol.   Sorry i missed riding with you last weekend!

[Hank]

I'd be tempted to try it, but in the end I wouldn't because I can find all kinds of equally fun, or more fun trails that won't kill me if I have a minor brain fart or mishap.

What Bret is saying is totally true (its all in your head)... but.. I'd pass... then go ride a bunch of other cool shit and have a blast.

[plumber mike]

I would hit that trail like an animal

That animal would likely be a turtle

The scenery looks spectacular and there are probably some tamer trails that are just as much fun. Either way I'm in. It would force me to finally get the chain and sprockets I need to make the Xco rideable again

[Fletch]

there is actually something similar  (although much shorter) here in the hills. It is on the old single track out of the rifle pit (nera piedmont) used to ride it years ago and always made me nervous. Unfortunatley it has been closed since the fire up there about 10 years ago

I think I walked along that trail your talking about Fletch, many moons ago. There was a mine on the side of the hill, but its all fenced off these days. Isn't that near Pringle though?

[Fletch]

o, this one is up by piedmont, just a narrow 3-4' trail along a cliff. only about 50 yards long. I think you take little elk creek road from the service road back to where vehicle travel is prohibited, there is a washed out hillside on your right (the rifle pit). Take the traile up that hillside and it turns left (west) follow it for a mile or two. It's been a long time so not exactly sure where it is anymore?

[greatbuffalo]

Ahh... There is an area also known as Rifle Pit South of Custer where an Indian attack took place. There is a mine/quarry there that has a trail that runs along the edge. Like I said, that place is all fenced off these days.
