Taking advantage of the first snow of the season. My rear derailleur froze up enough to make my bike a single speed. Anyone know of a way keep a bike shifting in freezing temps and a couple inches of snow hahaha?

It is actually near my house in Black Forest...its called section 16 trail, but not to be confused with the section 16 trail at Red Rock Canyon open Space. It is a nice, mellow, 4 mile loop that I use primarily for cardio puposes and to take my little boys since little technical skill is required.

I guess I'll start over..
I offered the quoted video for some lolz.
I felt like I really improved today, despite the video. I was able to handle the sharp turns a lot better without being so generous with the brakes. Will be looking forward to my next ride.

It was 90 degrees yesterday when I left for my ride. Went out for a short ride at the 50 year trail, did the Chutes and Middlegate loops. (Tucson, Az)

Got a good ride in before the "family hike". Did some work on a steep/tall roll-in boulder...I'll get pic's next time. It was sketchy b/c there was a sapling at the run-out. I rolled up to it and gimped out probably 6 times. Went down to the run-out and cut the sapling down with my pocket knife. No more sketchy run-out. Rolled it a couple of times. It's probably 8' tall or so but pretty daggum steep.

Rode yesterday with a new XC friend from work. She was ballin' an Anthem 29, so I started on the techy 'rock-crawley' trail just to be ornery. We took the flowey XC loop back to make up for it. Watching her negotiate the techy stuff on a 29'er pretty much solidifies my decision to stick with 650b or shorter. It just looked so cumbersome trying to negotiate.
It's kinda comical how many people are on a 29'er trying to venture out onto that section of trail. It's not like it's a trials course or anything, but there are a handful of sections that I have to hop off now and then. It's either a confidence builder or frustration. I thoroughly enjoy it, myself.

Kick arse day at Palmer Park on one of my favorite trails, Templeton Trail. I was overdressed and a sweaty mess when done.
