The Official BBO Bar - yep, we had to move again...

Trials type tires have become very popular in Colorado but here in the Sonoran the rocks are sharp and there is a lot of gravel/sand washes. Climbing rock mountains/hills is first priority .. (actually proper body armor is first) .. but you have to be able to navigate sand. We got everything but mud .. and this Winter we even had that.

Given a proper off road bike I am sure you would do well here .. near vertical rock faces frequently turns us around .. and I find myself wishing I'd spent more time on my trials bike ..

Proper body armor, I need more of that.
And I completely experienced how different (read: better) lower tire pressures are offroad.
Your trials bike is small, maybe you can fold it up and bring it next year?

Yeah, she's badass. I wanna be like her when I grow up.

She says she wants to be like me ...

But yeah ... she went up one mother of a hill a few days ago .. mebbe even tougher than I've tried. Kathi took a step forward when I dropped her tire pressure a few pounds. If you ride fast you need higher pressure to keep from getting pinch flats from all the big rocks .. but if you ride slower you can air down.

It is truly amazing considering her little XT225 .. but Ken who may have be the best off road rider here loves that little bike. He thinks of it as almost a trials bike.

With a little help she got truly off road worthy boots and knee/shin guards. I think she still needs hip pads and better body armor .. I pad Gigi up like the michelin man .. when she falls she kinda bounces ..

You feeling better, Mike?

You feeling better, Mike?

I'm better .. but still too sick to ride. Gigi and Kathi are headed out this very minute though ..

Sweet bikes Norty!
Retirement highly recommended.
Your biggest decisions are what do you want to eat and what should I ride today
