Can you provide your height details etc. and maybe the reach of the bikes you have come from? Interested to hear your take and how much longer this is than your daily rig.

I am curious but not convinced on the massive reaches on some of these bikes.

the first half of severed (before it goes properly down) is a fun no pedal / pumpy bit of trail. can't generate enough speed to get past the uphill bit at the JD turnoff, alas. guess one could be a dork & hop up that section, but i'm not quite *that* motivated...

This one for me. but i will admit that you need to put a few pedals in after where c-buster peels off if you want to get anywhere.. Then its a game of see how far you can get...

100% down to the pizza joint. My favorite pizza has pineapple on it but I wouldn't go near a ham and pineapple from dominos etc.

If you ride Seymour and like pizza with pineapple- Scratch kitchen's (Dollarton plaza)  "perfect storm" pizza is pretty damn good.

I think it's clear. Fire Bottas & hire Russell. Sack Albon & hire Perez.

YEs. Russell has always deserved a better car but really proved it on the weekend. Not only out front but when he had to battle through again at the end.

Or Redbull could just take Russell???!!

I had a re-read of Metro Vancouver's Strategic Trails Plan (http://www.metrovancouver.org/services/parks/ParksPublications/LSCRTrailsStrategicPlan.pdf). Apparently, they have their eye on lower Dales too...From the plan:

Dale’s Trail Improvements:

Consider upgrading lower sections to flow better with

section 1 of Dale’s to provide a cohesive user experience

from top to bottom. Upgrade the Mushroom Lot Access trail

to provide a safe exit point from the more challenging

section of Dale’s trail and to enhance the connection

between the LSCR and CMHC.

This is terrifying. Unless they are talking about getting rid of the crappy flow trail at the top. Dales is the last true sanctioned challenge on Seymour and it would be a major loss the the riding experience for that to have major changes made to it.

The lack of grip was crazy. Even in the dry practice sessions... It was a totally different track to watch compared with the years they raced there last time around.

As much as I would like to see another team / driver step up Hamilton really is in a league of his own. I've never been a big fan of his but it's hard not to be impressed with his ability to deliver when it counts.

A good fully loaded Donair slays any fast food  burger I have had in BC.

Or does it not count because it's not drive thru?

+1 for this.

I believe all steel Chromag share a tube set. My Wideangle is super stiff

OK. My Stylus was way more compliant than any aluminum hardtail I have owned so big wheels on the Rootdown will be just fine.

My rootdown was terribly stiff. I actually think frame design matters more than material. My carbon chameleon is much more compliant than my steel chromag was which runs opposite to the steel is real movement. It's more accurate to say steel can be real but doesn't have the same ring to it. 😋

Have you ridden other Chromags? Wondering how the Rootdown compares to the Stylus? I found the Stylus to be pretty compliant for a hardtail and have my eyes out for a rootdown now....

This is my Ghetto COVID gym... If you have a garage this barely takes up more space than the two bikes that hang there when it's not in use.

Built from a couple sheets of old ply wood and a jigsaw. With a few random dumbbells and resistance bands there isn't much you cant do... Not sure how easy a bar and plates are to come by these days though...

Pretty sure “they” would prefer that people not use that trail.

Prolly shouldn't be on the map at the trail head then.....!
