Chinkpin Oak Trail / Mt. Kessler / Northwest Arkansas

[Mikie]

I think I am going to reshoot this vid (darn! ). Camera again a bit low and I kept forgetting until tonight to turn the wind filter on, on the GoPro.

This was part on my ride today.
Chinkapin Oak Trail is an alleged Black Diamond out at Mt. Kessler Bike Park. I found it to be Dark Blue with some average Tech sections. Pretty much what we found out at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. Why is one Black, the other Blue?

Anyway, a solo ride so I kept it casual.

Mikie! I rode a 29x2.4 Rekon this afternoon! I was thinking about my feelings, and I think despite the lack of braking traction, I hate them so much because they roll so dang well.

If you use the wind filter, we will miss the sensation that we are schussing down the Apls, icy wind blowing in our hair, adoring fans ringing cowbells to cheer us on...

They roll fantastic.
They brake as much as you need them to.
They are a manly man’s tire.

All of this is so true!
We need more cowbell.
