Kevin Costner Extension
Just a heads up, but it looks like the reasonably new extension of KC (behind the houses) is going to be cleared to make the parkway wider. There's barrier flags going across the trail a few times, which kinda sucks. Had to throw the anchors out pretty hard to stop in time.
Cheers

Serrata advice
The only bit of Serrata that I can't do is the steep double roll down. What's the best approach - no brakes until the bottom or some back brake to slow down after the first roll down and before the second roll down?

Withdrawn: Specialized Tarmac 58cm
Hi all - lovely bargain to be had for someone keen to get into road riding in the winter without wanting to shell out heaps of cash.
This bike was owned as a back up bike essentially, so has done less than 2000km.
Ultegra 11spd gears and mechs, FSA chain set. Ultegra pedals included.
Zipp stem (130mm) - but can swap for another size if required.
Fulcrum wheels.
Upgraded to S-Works carbon seat post and Specialized Power saddle.
Will also include Garmin 500 and K-Edge mount, and Specialized bidon cage.
Is in incredible condition - as new. Never crashed or even fallen over.

Old Man's Valley update for 09 May
Top sections are damp and tacky (grip is phenomenal), but as usual avoid lava flow for a couple of days.

Red Hill update for 08 May
Nice and dry. A good bit of sand drifting in certain firetrail sections. Witnessed a a fair few motos entering and leaving. Plenty of churned up softer sections too.

RS Reverb seatpost remote advice
Got back on the MTB today for the first time in a few weeks due to a dicky knee, and had a chance to play with the dropper post. I like it.
By the end of the ride though, the joint at the base of my fragile desk jockey thumb was feeling rather tender. I think this is from having to push the plunger all the way home to get the saddle to move.
I know you can alter the rebound speed by twisting the dial on the end, but does anyone know if it is possible to get the post's locking mechanism to release earlier in the plunger's travel, or reduce the amount of force needed?
Thanks!

Pilot Wilderness Ride
Inspired by ride listed on this site, I'd been dreaming about riding the Pilot Wilderness from Dead Horse Gap to the Pinch Campground for years. A few weeks ago I finally got to achieve it and what an amazing adventure.
The story is too long to post here, if you are interested in reading the detail please visit my Pilot Wilderness blog posts

Cascades update for 07 May
As good as it gets. A big damp... But that means there's no sand and the trail is grippy!
There's some water around at the bottom of Heat trail but apart from that it's dry and riding well.
