    This weekend, the famed Mango, Jake, and Miles took me on a stealth
    ninja mission through the volatile web of singletrack known as Shadow
    Mountain. Shh, don't tell anyone.

    Jake had this to say about it:

    "...pictures would sum up the ride way better than words. The ride
    involved bush-whacking past no trespassing signs, onto a dirt road that
    leads to a trail that some downhiller's put some serious work into. The
    top of the trail offers a good variety of steep and extremely fast
    rocky sections, smooth winding zigs, and jumps of different sizes. The
    bottom of the trail shoots straight down and consists of a sequence of
    all or nothing, 7-12 ft. boulder drops, with little to no space in
    between to slow down. Ladders go up and down the rocks like a fricken
    rollercoaster. I just stared at all of this stuff as usual. The
    high-light was Miles spotting his landing down an 8 ft. drop that lead
    immediately to what I shall call the "dial 911" rock. He got spooked by
    a bee and after swatting it frantically and running away, he came back
    and nailed the drop with a perfect landing. All in all it was a good
    ride, though I must admit I was pretty lazy. I'll post pictures if I
    get em from Eyal."

    Thanks fellas for an awesome ride. Sorry Jerry P and others couldn't
    make it due to post-fire restoration demands.
