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.
