On my way up the main divide, I suddenly felt light, I felt a hand pushing me up the hill, before I knew it I was in my middle ring climbing faster and faster, a real "Brokeback Mountain biking" moment.

Thank you Andy

Thank you Andy

I've heard about you full suspension boingy guys, so I was sure to wear a glove.

Glad I was able to help.

It's not all together true.... Sometimes we go with the single.

When I got to the start of Los Pinos, I was pretty tired. Boinking on Bell Ridge would have been bad. So I decided to go down Trabuco instead. 2 other riders joined me and we had a blast. I stopped about 10 minutes at the bottom to talk with some of the trail work volunteers the took the long road back.

I was shocked when I got to my car at the same time as the first Pushakona riders. You guys are amazing. Congratulations to everyone, it was epic.

Sorry I missed it. I have never been on Bell Ridge before. Hopefully soon though.

You will have to do it at least once. It's pretty darn cool.

The pictures and videos were great. I will do it before it gets hot!

Oh, man, I can't even imagine this ride in the heat of summer! I don't know this area, but I'd rather ride more than hike, especially knowing what Bell Ridge would bring. Isn't it possible to take Trabuco or something else up to Main Divide to get to Los Pino/Bell Ridge?

I really enjoyed the Bell Ridge trail. I would go again, even if I had to H-A-B up W. Horsethief again. At the time I wanted to die. And, if I hadn't bruised a rib, I probably would have enjoyed Bell Ridge more. But, it was a fun, beautiful trail for sure. I just think you'd need more water or something in the summer 'cause I went through 100ozs and it was not more than 65 degrees out all day!

Yes, Trabuco would be a more sane route than WHT.

Pain Freak · 01-24-2007, 08:09 PM

I knew I got hit pretty good and now it shows.

Cleaning the babyheads on the uphill is awesome. But not quite as thrilling as dh at 25+.

Ditto this is the route I use for a bell decent.
