Location?

Headed to Galena this weekend and considering going. Rideable on a serious hardtail?

Any tips to not bail on Gravity Cavity? I went down about half way down... lol. It was much steeper with exposed roots than what I anticipated. Thanks and great video

Did you video more trails at palos? Thanks for sharing

What's the best day/time to ride there other than weekends? Looks empty on your run

I havnt heard this song in forever. Thanks for reminding me of it c:

What a great video! Just what this beginner needed!

Thanks for sharing,

Nice!!! This is my favorite trail in AZ. Mesquite climb, willow section back down. If you’re in great shape this trail is beautiful!!! Back when I was racing MBAA this was my climb trail for the week!

My father raced an Allard sports car here for Fred Wacker back in the day. Since I just got back into Mtb'ing (I'm 60) it will be fun to ride this. It will also be the only time I will have been able to ride where my dad raced.

I'm assuming you had to run them all night long? How did you deal with the batteries? Did you run an external battery pack for most the rice?

I've been eyeing the 1 up rack for a while and like most things about it but a couple days ago I saw one set up for 4 bikes at the local bike trail and all the wheel lock rods were leaning away from the car as if they bent over time. It didn't have bikes on anf the owner wasn't there so I didn't get a chance to ask about it. Did not give me a good feeling that the bikes would always be leaning. Any 1 up owners have experience with this?

Is there camping facilities near by

Visited today on a trip from FL. Awesome place. I found a Raleigh 3-speed like I had as a kid, and a Schwinn Continental 10-speed like my brother had - in the early 1960's.

Trails are awesome, only thing that sucks is when the elderly hike the downhill trail and everyone almost dies.

65 miles, goodness

LOL @ 0:25 "...and we are quite spread apart now" = we are definitely not roadies cause we have no idea how to ride together and draft! Maybe next time??

Big ride for us non roadies!!

Holy cow some of those trails run super fast eh? Looked really fun!

Looks like some fun trails!

I have a few set of Pulstars. Love em

That looks killer fun. Fitchburg = funsburg

Got mine in the other day and set it up. I REALLY like the little ball that tightens the fit inside the hitch, since I can't stand when things wobble & rattle. However, after seeing the dinky hitch lock that comes with it, I don't get the best sense of security so I've been searching for beefier alternatives and I believe I have a simple yet effective idea.

Hey now I know how much that refridge cost brother

I think you've kinda missed the point of them, they offer an alt hand position for long rides, which will prevent hand and wrist fatigue, the question is, do you actually need them, as you can just rest your hand on top of the grips in flat sections, what they provide is an anchor point to the bar, which you don't have when simply wresting your hand on top. I'm stuck between these, Spirgrips and SQLabs, although the latter 2 come with a weight penalty unless you stump up the cash for the carbon versions, which I'm not sure I want to do, also very few reviews out there

Bar ends have more benefits than risks. The risk very unlikely. They stop your hands from getting broke and amputated when smashing trees or ground or when you were doored which is when someone open their door on when your riding along cars. My friend had his finger amputated because he was doored by a driver who didn’t check their mirrors. I wear bar ends after that.

how much elevation per lap?

I really Enjoy your videos. I could call myself the same name, but 70 years old. I did the novice race in 2023, the muck... I officially beat 2 riders, but many didn't finish the second lap. I hope I never ride in mud again! I live on Archer across from the Palos triangle. Hope to meet you someday. Maybe you should have some shirts made with your Mediocre logo, and do all the videos with the same "look".

It was a hell of a good bike I raced my rts many times in the 2000s and still use it as my work bike

Im a local and i just rode this on an old schwinn mesa runner! My first time mountain biking. I want to go back out but its been raining.

I'm not loving the look of this trail, but it was nice to get some summer vibes on this miserable wet day.

Ha ja lol

Hahaha. Looks like somebody is a SRAM fanboy.

pretty cools trails for being in Iowa, also there's a really good brewery in Dubuque called Toppling Goliath 🍻🍻

Great video...and that was cool of John Deere, cool trails.

1:53 i slammed into that wall

it looks weak, the force that would tear the teeth would also tear that protection or bend it and scrape the gear ring, only once in 40 years have I destroyed 2 teeth

Was going to take a Peoria trip and hit comparable, then Indy. That order or reverse it? Also, any other must rides in the area?

Southwestway is a hidden gem!

Any update video coming? Considering buying one new from my LBS.

i literally love pittsburgh!! if anyone lives there, here’s some tips (i used to live there) restaurants: (my dad owns all of these) Round Corner Cantina El Burro 1 El Burro 2 Umami Cobra THEY ARE ALL AMAZING also if your looking for a good corner/smoke store, Carson News on carson street is the best! my yiayia owns it

I bought one but have never installed it. I’m local and ride the same trails as you and have never had a need for it locally.

I think I need one. But the extra grams!!! 😂

Oh ik where that is

Well. You missed the best stuff. 😢

There are so many roads in Pittsburgh that are like this. I implore you that if you are a new Uber driver to stay away from the South hills 😂

Looks like a ton of fun!

Hi Jason! Good timing, we were just talking about heading out that way after our Fay and Kickapoo trip last weekend.

Rode there a few years ago. I said many of the same things as you about the climbs 😂 It was a fun trail though. Peoria has some fun systems!!
