I’ve got to get out there and hit it! Always up for a challenge. Gunsight should be a challenge within itself, curious to see how I do on that climb as I’m a more XC oriented rider.
Make it happen soon! The soil is perfect now, you’ll love it. Yeah, Gunsight is a beast of a climb but do-able especially as an XC rider like yourself. Cheers and thanks for watching!
you make it look so easy! I used to ride it back in the days and haven't in a long time. The new entrance is intimidating to me and the big root/rock drop that's super steep always had me walking... Now that it's heroine dirt, maybe, just maybe! Thanks! I live really close to this.
Great video, you can feel the steepness even despite the gopro effect... I just took on mountain biking this year but live right next to Soltice, I'm adding it to my 2022 goals!
@@JakeSpeakman I watched your China Camp videos as well, any trails over there especially on the backside you'd recommend for an early intermediate that wouldn't be too taxing on a hardtail? I'm doing the BayView->OakRidge->Shoreline loop a couple times a week these days to get in shape, went up Echo a few times but from there I'm never too sure what to try

Thanks Joy! It's a humbling trail. I've gotten better at it with lots of practice. You should go for it, you might surprise yourself!
@@JakeSpeakman When I heal up my crashed on shoulder first! Just keeping it mellow on rides for now. Thanks! It is sooo humbling up there.
@@joysassoon9003 Speedy recovery to you! Let’s get you back out on the good stuff sooner than later! 😁

Thanks Simon! Good luck and have fun! Solstice was the first black diamond i ever sent, it was also the first trail I went flying off the bike on 😆
Simon, whenever you’re ready to ride Solstice give me a holler! I’ll happily ride it with ya 👍
@@JakeSpeakman Oh yeah that'd be awesome, will let you know! In the process of upgrading the hard tail to a full suspension now

@@SimonHamelin Right on! What kind of Full sus are you getting?
I have ridden that trail many times, also one of my favorites but the camera never makes any justice unfortunately
I know, Damn GoPro effect. Some of those last few sections are really steep and technical. Thanks for watching Oswaldo! 👍
No trails in Marin are to be taken lightly......
Especially some of the climbs
