It Got Wet | Son of Middle Creek Trail in Vail, Colorado
After a short ride at Floyd Hill, I drove to Vail to set up camp for my next two nights. On the drive there, I decided I wanted another ride that day, and I rode up to Son of Middle Creek for a 1,100' descent. With rain heading my way, it eventually started coming down just as I was finishing North Trail, to descend down Middle Creek.
I mentioned a few times in the video that it was a great trail. The funny thing is, it's nothing special. Just a high-speed, flowy backcountry trail with a great view. Sometimes that's all you need! Throw in some rain, and it's an adventure.

Bumbling Down The Sluice at Floyd Hill | Evergreen, CO
Просмотров 29221 день назад
My second ride in Colorado was at Floyd Hill. I felt a little off on this ride, but I've heard so much about Floyd Hill, and wanted to give it a go! The climb up was difficult, but with a few laps down The Sluice, I feel one could get a rhythm down.
Riding Fast Money & Hard Money 😍 at Maryland Mountain | Black Hawk, Colorado
Просмотров 641Месяц назад
What a trail to kick off my little Colorado road trip! Fast Money was a treat, but Hard Money is probably one of the best trails I’ve ever ridden. I wish i was able to do more laps on it, but my lungs were pretty tired, and not yet acclimated. I’d love to go back next year with an ebike and get some laps in!

Progressin' | Mont du Lac Downhill Race No. 3 | 2024 | Superior, WI
Просмотров 54Месяц назад
Danny and I went to the final round of the Mont du Lac DH races of 2024. The track was a doozy! The top of the track usually remains the same, and the lower woods section allows for unique taping for different overall tracks. I really liked this lower section! We have both been eyeing the step up, and finally hit it this race. I could have hit it farther and cleaner, but I was happy that I coul...

Jumptimus? Jumpticus? I see it labeled both ways and don't know what to call it. Either way, it's a blast. The new TBD trail was fast and flowy, and would be very good for all skill levels. I will have to come back and ride Rendal soon!
Tuesday is for Racing | 2024 Duluth Enduro Series - Round 5 at Spirit Mountain

Continuing my quest to go out of my comfort zone and attend more bike events this year, I took the day off work to attend the final Tuesday night enduro at Spirit Mountain for 2024. The Advanced Men's class had two stages. The first was Sprung a Leak to Rock Candy to Rocky Roady. The second stage was Wrecking Ball to Monkey Business. I drove up to Spirit the Saturday before and climbed up for a...

I absolutely love coming to Piedmont, but there is always a good amount of fear that goes with the excitement. I rode these trails quite a bit in 2022, and tried to get back to that confidence and speed on this ride. I pre-rode Kissing Booth and DM, and I feel pretty good about those runs. Have been trying to improve my riding this year, and that's been fun. 0:00-0:26 Dr. Rockso 0:26-0:41 Scarf...

My First Enduro | 2024 Duluth Enduro Series | Spirit Mountain - Round 2 (1?)
Просмотров 7124 месяца назад
I've considered doing the Duluth Enduro Series since I started mountain biking. I was always a little afraid of doing events out of fear and anxiety. But this year, I told myself I would do some events. The first was the Big Evil at Mont du Lac, and now we gave the Duluth Enduro Series a shot at Spirit Mountain. What an awesome event! Really looking forward to doing a few more of these, and hop...
2024 Big Evil Downhill Race: Round 1 at Mont du Lac - Superior, WI
Просмотров 7635 месяцев назад
Had a great first DH race at Mont du Lac! With overnight rain into the morning, conditions were very tricky and loose for the first few runs. Things slowly dried out, and we were able to make some clean runs later into the day. I finished 24th of 32, with a fairly clean and conservative final run. I could have probably pushed harder, or tried to hit the drop for the first time. But overall, it ...

Little Sugar - Wet Weather Riding in Bentonville/Bella Vista
Просмотров 5236 месяцев назад
We were blasted by rain on most of our trip in Bentonville. Staying near Huntley Gravity Zone, it made sense to ride Tunnel Vision and the adjacent trails to see how they fared the wetness. Lots of XC-style trails, but overall a great ride, and we got to experience another new-to-us Bentonville system. Ride Log: www.trailforks.com/ridelog/view/68095139/

Spring 2022 Highlights - Battle Creek | Cuyuna | Pinehurst Park
I visited Bentonville last weekend. So many trail and riding options. It’s nice to know it’s only 2 hours from my place and I could take a day trip there and get a solid 6 hours of riding in. I rode SP and Coler. Want to go back and do Hand Cut and Little Sugar/Back 40. I assume when you made this a lot of trees were still down at Coler from the tornado? Saw lots of big trees that had been recently cut on those trails but most was cleared. I didn’t know about Huntley but think I’ll stay off it on my harttail 😂 thanks!
Awesome trail and surroundings. Damn I want to go mountain biking down an actual mountain again.
What trail is this
DUDE! HELL YES!
nice run!
The last race is on the 7th if you’re down!
Was that double off limits?
@@SkarTisu no, I just wasn’t ready to hit it
I got tired just watching this. Props!
@@DoomedMidwestern we were good and tired by the end of it, haha.
Great runs! Love both of these trails!!
Nice work!
Thanks! Have you been out there yet?
@@kendallwelch I did a quick ride out there before they were open but I haven't gotten the full Localized experience yet. Tried to go a couple of times but weather and schedule changes conspired against me. Hoping to get out there soon!
@@KrisYahner yeah, you’d love the changes.
Rippin!
Yeah dude! You krushed those!!
My daughter and her gravity team will be up to do Bike Duluth Fest. She'll be running the Intermediate Enduro this year after winning the beginner for her age group last year. She's super excited to hit the four stage race this year.
Man this race was such a wave of emotions 😂 worst conditions ever to actually decent tacky riding by race runs! Super fun day! Can’t wait for the next one!!
Dude you were absolutely BLASTING, great riding. This was an awesome vid 🤘
@@rileygoesoutside thanks dude!
Damn those woods are beautiful, makes me miss Wisconsin
It was a perfect fall ride!
Great riding and editing. Loved the video!
Thank you!
"Send it, Randy." 😄
I am peak humor
Dang I just might need to give one of these races a try
Great job dude! Track seems spicy but you rode it like a champ. Great jumps in improvement between your runs. I think your seeding run though was the best one, absolutely confident on the off cambers and superb control. Also isn't Water Buffalo rad? You almost have to stop and look back up after surviving I feel like. I chuckled seeing that you did it too.
Yeah, the seeding run felt best, but the final run was 3 seconds faster even with the mistake. Some of that was knowing where the finish was (didn’t know until after I came around the turn in seeding for some reason).
Conditions looked brutal! I still need to get out here.
Definitely some of the hardest conditions I’ve ever tried riding. But after it was all said and done, it was a good experience riding some shit we would never get to ride elsewhere.
Sick!
Nice rip down these gems! Fun trails!
Going on vacation here today for mtbing. Gonna be a blast
Have fun!
Looks like a great set of trails. Hoping to get our family to Bentonville sometime this year.
Loved Little Sugar! Definitely loved the emtb there though. Some of those climbs were wicked.
You ride BC so fast, it's great to watch! Glad to see the Meta out slaying as it should. I bet that's a perfect bike for BC!
Thanks man! Lots of laps at BC for me over the years.
Got damn I am a giant lol
Cuyuna was tailor made for the eMTB. I find that I can ride all day on one battery and am golden. The Commencal Meta Power TR is perfect for me compared to when I want to take the Spire smashing down the big DH stuff.
What kind of mileage are you getting at Cuyuna with the Meta Power? What battery does that come with?
@@kendallwelch 630Wh and I haven't ever burned through it. Longest day so far was 34 miles.
@@NathanEide do you usually ride in Trail mode?
@@kendallwelch trail to eco depending upon with whom I’m riding and where. But typically trail once I get going.
@@NathanEide awww boost all the way bro
The sound of your tires 100% has me convinced I need to drop a ton of psi. Awesome asmr. Sick vid, remember to unlock the shock though you dork lol
I usually run 24psi in the front for a 29” tire. 28psi in the back for a 29”, and 30ish in the back for a 27.5”. Not sure if those are good numbers, but they work for me! I’ll go up a psi or two at the bike park.
also, the DH casing tires could be making the sound too. Super soft on the front 🫡
@@kendallwelch got maxxgrip/dd assegais for my ebike, hoping they sound like yours :D
Great park and many trail options! Any skinnies in the system?
Yeah, a ton of really wild skinnies!
@@kendallwelch Great, I love the challenge of Skinnies! Anything as big as the skinny at Murphy Hanrehan?
@@Randy_Johnson I would say all of the skinnies are harder than the one at Murf
Big miles, lotsa elevation, great riding👏👏👏👏. An amazing corner of the world
Nice Kendall, but I would love to have viewed the bike we where on! :)
9:28
This looks so fun
Bombing those forest roads on a gravel bike is intense af. I have a Specialized AWOL for this kind of stuff, this Spring lets do some boring rides on our leotard bikes!
That looks fun!
Nice little addition out there! Stoked to see all the work next year!
I was just in that area last week. They have some great trails down there. I rode the Rock Lake Trail (the 12-mile route.) It’s between Cable and Namekagon. It’s a rocky, rooty, hilly trail. You are deep in the woods on that trail! There are two very cool features on that trail. There is a skinny called No Hands Bridge that goes across the lake and a rock roll called Wall Street that are worth checking out.
I haven’t rode the Rock Lake single track, but I did ride through it on a gravel route this weekend, and it was definitely remote!
@@kendallwelch And once you’re on the trail there’s no easy way to get off the trail, either. You need to keep going.
Place looks rad! Nice looking pie too..
Some of those jump faces look pretty ragged and hard to judge
They seemed pretty consistent to how they usually are. I think the biggest thing I struggled with was the moist dirt and rocks and roots. Just didn’t know how much traction I had, and I expect I had more than I thought I did.
Nice video! Man I miss this
Sweet trail. Is that your garmin rattling? That would drive me absolutely crazy.
It’s my OneUp tool in my fork steerer. Safe to say I’ll be taking it out whenever the GoPro is on from now on, if I can remember.
@@kendallwelch at least you know where the sound is coming from lol. I’ve spent hours chasing creaks disassembling and re-assembling only for to still creak
@@matth8924 I’ve been chasing it for about a year 😂 Now it seems obvious
Did the GoPro run out of battery before you sent it off the dock?
@@SkarTisu yeah, that was it 😂
This looks fun.
Sick ride! Haymaker looked really fun. Those views! 😍
Will’s Thrill was probably the best trail I hit on the entire trip. It’s a shame the GoPro died.
Bet
Man I wish I could rip BC as fast as you do. You make it look dumb easy lol
For anyone who hasn't ridden there, it's not dumb easy. Edit: I should have finished the damn video before commenting. You kicked some major ass at Pinehurst as well and hit everything like 10000x faster than I did the last time I was there. Granted, that was before I knew wtf I was doing. Excited to go back there.
@@rileygoesoutside I have soo many laps at BC, and the big bike helps with confidence 😅 We'll have to ride sometime soon.
Nice escape from death! Haha, bikes running great it looks like, nice riding!
"We don't film climbing" 🤣🤣🤣 "bye" lmao I love it.
Firing Line is one of my favorites - so much fun
That was my first and only time down it so far. Great trail!
Nice man.Can see the rust falling off as the vid goes on!! Spring is almost here!
Um. Wall? Where?
That’s the name of the trail.
Great to get the tires back on the dirt, we just missed ya it seems!
