Another Trail Angel airlift...

Just wanted to send best wishes and a speedy recovery!!!

 

Out w/ that hump!! My co-workers and I in the summer have a weekly ride and one of them almost did the same thing on his first time on the Ladera ridge. Get Well Soon Cindy our Prayers are with you.

 

Then why all the calls from so many people to "fix" it? In my mind, that's no different than cutting a switchback because someone feels that it is too technical. Weird.

 

I am speechless for the second time in a month that is a horrible crash. I hope you get well soon.

 

Cindy, healing vibes being sent your way!!!

Kristine, money sent, thanks for doing this!!!

 

Healing wishes.

 

Wow that sucks hope she feels better but maybe they should take out that hump

 

Can someone post on a map where this camel hump is? I've ridden tijeras 100 times and need heard of anything called the camels hump. Thanks

 

It's up on Ladera Ridge right before you go down Firehose.

 

Got it now I know where it is. Thanks Eric.

 

Wish you a speedy recovery!

 

I wish you a speedy recovery!

 

My thought and prayers for a speedy recovery.

 

That sucks! Speedy recovery vibes.


I really hope people decide to leave the hump alone. If you must, put up warning signs, but there are a lot of people who probably enjoy it the way it is.

On the topic, I thought this trail was closed. Someone said there were signs up a couple months ago so we've been avoiding it.

 

I agree - the hump is really no big deal as long you don't try to intentionally or unintentionally try to jump it.

I ride it about once a week and I've never seen any signs. It's a fun, gentle trail that I take my girls to often. Wonderful singletrack and amazing views. My fingers are crossed that it stays off the radar.

 

Out of respect for keeping it off the radar, I won't post the pics I just took of the hump. I did measure the hill leading up to it is about a 7% grade and the hump sites at about 4' and better than a 50 degree ramp.

In any case, no need to rip it down, but a word of caution (and one that applies on every trail--sorry to be preachy) to ride with care and caution--especially on new-to-you trails.

 

Oh, man, my wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

Ouch! That looks like it really hurt. Poor girlie! Healing vibes to her!!!

 

I probably have gone over that hump at least 30 times, but the very first time I hit the hump I was in dream land and took a nasty spill.

My buddies said I looked liked Evil Knieval after he landed the jump at Ceasers Palace.

My neighbor hits the hump at full speed and its a sight to see him fly on a bike as far as he does.

 

Here's another... don't know ya, but MANY healing vibes!!!!!!!
