You can bypass Strava and track your ride right in Trailforks now. But I think a lot still use Strava for the social side/glory.

So stoked on 1199. Whoever came up with the name is a genius.

Will the Weasel extension be accessible off In Deep?

....... are there any other people's email addresses at DNV that you suggest I contact directly regarding this issue?

I recall seeing a slide at an AGM/townhall with a list of contacts at the different land owners. Can't find it on the site. Would be good to have, mouse hovering over send button to back you up Cooper.

I wouldn't miss the Stairs of Despair that's for sure.

There's no despair left in those stairs!!!

Ha! To be honest I've avoided that piece of trail for a long time. Has it been smoothed out?

To be clear we're talking about the same thing .... last part of BP before it joins Mountain Highway at the water fountain?

A suggested climb trail showed up in the DNVs Classification Plan back in 2007 to go from the bottom of Espresso to second switchback - Espresso to Bobsled basically. Seems the idea is to take all bike traffic off Baden which makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't miss the Stairs of Despair that's for sure. Dunno how feasible that is, would run close to the Van Tan. Guess No Quarter was built instead during that time. Would make parking lot loops better for people although the lot is already maxed out. I find it amazing that that biking is now so popular that people now line up to park there.

From the two recent cases of guys escaping an attacking bear it looks like a small knife is more effective

Randomly on In Deep. I'll be ripping along thinking "Hell yeah, I'm like a WC rider!". Then BOOM, I'm on the deck like I was taken out by a sniper
