I will have to look when I get home. I believe it is the April issue.

What did they say? I'm always curious what out of state folks think of our trails...

Curious if any locals challenged them to a 26" vs 29" showdown?

The SoCal wussies seemed to think it was a little chilly. It sounded like they came in the middle of January, but all the pics had green grass and only partial Fall color on the leaves. Thank goodness Emily Batty was in a few shots.

No but there is tons of clown love in it. Lots of pics. They did 3 laps. i wonder if Ray did 3. Sam and Emily for sure but Ray I don't know. They kind of liked it and dissed it a bit at the same time. Said it wasn't a destination trail but if you were going around there then ride it. They did like it and said it was fun. I guess you have to read it yourself. I'm glad they went. Ray said he has been riding there for years.

Big spread....over 10 pages with some good photos. They had some good stuff to say about it. Said it wouldnt be a vacation spot but if you're traveling in the area definitely a reason to bring your bike. Few shout outs to some local spots like Cycletherapy and The Lions Den.

A pity they didn't go down the road a few miles and hit Highland...that's a trail worth a few paragraphs!
Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets replaced.
