I thoroughly enjoyed this trail. I jumped on the trail from the Bearclaw Poppy just after Clavicle Hill. The trail is well marked for about 10 miles until you come to a barbed wire fence. At this point the trail is a bit confusing. Make sure you take some good directions with you because when you get to this point you really don’t know what to do. I ended up crossing the fence and taking the dirt road back to Santa Clara. I would have much rather gone back to the Bearclaw Poppy trail if I had known how to get there. I would describe the trail as very strenuous but plenty of fun to make all the hard work worth it.

Amen on the tires. A teammate and I recently upgraded to WC Epics. Tire spec: 1.95 Fast traks. Both of us now sporting 2.3 Ground control and 2.2 Captain. And for me, the Magura brakes had to go. How a bike like thata is not spec’d with XTR brakes, or at least XT, I don’t know.

@Jeremy I think the only ‘green’ were going to see in a Fatty Kit is in our faces when Elden goes riding by on his Cannondale F-Si Black, Inc. (the picture is a little large but it helps bring out the ‘green’ in the rest of us)

That there Fatcyclist Jersey (2012?) is my favourite of all the designs. It even has a hidden quote from DR Lammler!

Fatty…I just have to ask…what would the Scalpel sell for retail (for those of us NON beloved celebrity blah-blah-bloggers/etc etc)? A 22lb full suspension niner…OMG! I was thinking 25lbs would be LIGHT (I’m currently saving to buy a FS niner, and at this pint I’m keeping all my options open…even tho if it were to happen today I’d prob get the Ibis Ripley).

Hmmm… Cannondale Green… With Orbea Black n Orange kit. Is Fatty thinking of a new kit design with all new colors??? This question comes to mind, “Will Fatty deviate from the classic elegance of black and orange (or pink) to Cannondale Green and Black for his next kit?”

EricGu,
Fatty has ‘matured’(fart jokes aside) and now realizes that he needs to pace himself if he’s going to make it to the finish. With twin teenage girls in the house Being constantly told that he was born last century takes it toll.

Btw: like the ghostwriting.

Hmm. Check the tab. Yeah, that *looks like* the Fat Cyclist logo, and the URL looks right as well.

I don’t come here to read that you chose a shorter & easier option because it was “plenty”. I come here to read about overreaching that features pain, suffering (isn’t that redundant? If you are pain, aren’t you always suffering, and vice versa?), and the comedy that the aforementioned pain and suffering belong to somebody else.

But here you go getting all conservative and stuff.

Shall I pre-write your ride report for you?

“Did the True Grit Epic (not-so-epic-half-distance-version) today. Felt good, finished strong, had a great burrito afterwards. Then I mowed the lawn and washed my truck. “
