We rode Marshall Canyon this weekend near La Verne, California. The Marshall trail is about 10 miles long, 1,200 feet of elevation gain and once you get to the top its all downhill single track fun, with jumps creek crossings, rocks. Very fun trail.
The week before, Labor Day Weekend, we rode Aliso on Saturday and then Whitting Ranch on Monday. I had the hardest crash ive had so far at Aliso. was navigating through the rock garden and hit a big rock, my front tire got stuck and i flew over the handlebars landed on rocks, and did 2 flips. Luckily i was wearing my helmet, like I always do, and also knee/shin pads. My elbows and arms got pretty messed up, and i had a headache the rest of the day, so i must have hit my head pretty hard. My front tire (tubeless) blew out so I had to walk my bike down the final part of the single track and then a few miles on flat trail to the car. It was the one and only time i forgot to take my pump with me. When i got home my rear (tube) tire was also flat.
Wanting some redemption we went out and did a very fast run at Whitting on that Monday.
Were heading back to Snow Summit in Big Bear on Saturday morning, hoping to stay dry this time.
