OT: Where My MTBers At!?

[RedTeam1994]

In my experience, I agree about boulder gardens. I don't do big drops. So I wonder if I ride mostly Allaire, am I hurting my back. When I go over patches of bumpy trails, I am up on my pedals with my knees flexed. I'm pretty far past 50 with no back problems.

Allaire is my “home park”.

IMHO full squish isn’t gonna help your back there - far more important is to have the right bike fit.

Here's a map of the RUEP:

The old freeride area used to be on the northern part of the yellow trail, just west of where it hooks up with blue and white. No idea what kind of shape it's in these days. They've also been working on building/converting one of the trails to an "accessible" trail. The black trail is somewhat new, didn't exist when I used to ride in there almost everyday ~10 years ago (a lot of times I'd be the only one in there, think it's more popular now).
