Everyone here who is all negative with the changes on Fromme. Take a second to think about how much you enjoy riding up in the mountains, enjoying the fresh air and doing what you love most.
Because it could be worse. You could be unable to enjoy this activity at any moment due to a major injury that keeps you away from what you love the most.
Sure, it could be worse, but coming back from months of recovery to find one of my fav trails erased for my first ride made it all the worse. I was happy to see that someone built a nice little drop at the beginning of the original Bobsled and I'll miss the rock roll, the other two drops, and, most of all, letting go of the brakes and riding out the rocky sections like a jack hammer. It was not a difficult trail, but it was a lot of fun with few consequences, which is why I liked it. I don't want to insult everyone that spent hundreds of hours erasing the old/building the new trail, but I found it a little boring and was a little shocked to find this after being out for months. I didn't build any of the trail, but I did spend time up there repairing the trail/clearing trees/branches, etc. Anyways, I was a little attached to the original trail and needed to vent. From denial to acceptance…
On a positive note, I seem to be a part of a very small minority and it is a great thing to see so many riders out there, especially the less experienced ones. In fact, I have never seen so many riders or people period on Fromme before. Though, the peacefulness was one of the draws of Fromme to me. :) Though I'm not a big fan of the trail in it's current state and think that trails like this exist elsewhere, it must be quite a positive thing if so many people are enjoying it. So, enjoy away, my friends.
:hurt:
goes off to build a fast rock and boulder laden trail called Jackhammer
