Harry,
I'd say you will need 26" wheels since this is a mtb. Also, you could look into get a stem with more rise and the appropriate length for you along with the handlebars you prefer. They make a ton of handlebar styles. Holler if you have more questions... freeride_co@hotmail.com

That could be interesting.... and painful. I'm sure they are more worried about it though and are more likely to ride the horse trail near the Jedi trail. With the rising popularity of mtn biking at the park and near extinction of horse traffic, it may be the end of horse traffic at Scales Lake very soon.

They are not supposed to ride the bike trails, but it happens so rarely that there's not much that we can do. I didn't notice any holes, but I will take a closer look this week. If it becomes more of a problem, we will address it with the park staff and the board. In the past, they have ridden in the mud and caused major problems, but with time the holes covered up. I am predicting more horse traffic in the coming weeks. I think they are feeling threatened by the progress the bikers are making out there and do not want to lose their trails, even though they only seem to use the bike trails. With all of the bikes out there, I doubt they will last long.

Please be aware that the park staff at Scales Lake is beginning to crack down on after hours riding after they received some concerns from the county insurance agent. They will be patrolling the parking areas outside of the park and recording license plate numbers. I'm not sure what they can do with license plate numbers, but they have proposed banning people from the park who are caught parking in these spots a second time.
We are working with them to clear up this mess and to make after hours riding legal if you have a season pass. The park will begin to close later starting this weekend and I will post the exact hours soon. If anyone else knows the hours and dates they extend the hours, please post them. In the meantime, do what you've gotta do to get a ride in. I already told them that's how we roll!

We had a great workday with about 20 volunteers helping build some new trail. We knocked out a re-route of the road crossing by the back gate in about 3 hours. Thanks to all who helped, it was a great team effort. Now get out there and pack it in with some fat tires!

We will also need lots of rakes, so please try to bring your own. There will be very little bench-cutting on this section. Mostly just clearing the path so that we can burn it in with our 2-wheel shred machines!

Scales Lake trail workday, next Saturday March 10th from 9am to about noon. We will be working at the very back of the park by the back gate. Please park in the campsites and picnic sites near the back gate. Parking along the road should be limited to those who are bringing tools for all of the workers. Bring your bike and ride afterwards!

If anyone wants to do some trailwork this weekend, let's plan to meet at the petting zoo at 9am this Saturday (10/29). Projects for the day include finish work on the new re-route and creating a similar re-route across the street. Please reply if you are planning to attend so I know how many tools to bring. Hope to see you there!
