I've ridden this twice and both times had the same take aways: 1) I wish I would have just ridden Bomb Voyage. 2) Maybe this trail would be a lot more fun if I was on a single speed (if I had one). There is a bunch of slow speed, high precision wiggling through tight spaces, front wheel traps, and rear derailleur catchers that feels like work and not fun, even though I like super techie riding, and there aren't any parts where a rear suspension is even helpful. Also, the horse traffic is really tearing this trail apart.

Hated this first time I tried it over a decade ago, was loose sand, ?from horses. But, it’s actually very fun. Rock moves are fun, some steeps and gravel. Beautiful canyon, and protected from wind (somewhat). Definitely the easiest of the big three.

Thought we were on Bomb Voyage but realized we did Bob Gnarly after I checked the ride log at home! Lots of really tough techy moves and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Rode Boneshaker on the next lap and loved it, but now I've gotta get back and ride Bomb Voyage proper.

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
