The new British Columbia?

So it is now the most wonderful time of the year. Which means Christmas break with the family and some pretty low key riding. I have been off the bike for 2 1/2 weeks now except for riding to work yesterday. It was raining with a headwind, as usual. But it occurred to me that the ride was probably going to be the best of my day, and I was right.
Last Sunday I went to the Knob to help with some projects Kevin had going. Mostly work on the slopestyle course, which would probably kill me if I tried to ride it. We did however scout some new XC trail to detour some wet spots. There will be some distance and climbing added, but don't freak out 'cause there will also be better downhills with more sustainable speed included.
I did request that we add lots of tight switchbacks on the climbs to slow down the SS riders. Hey, if never hurts to ask! There will be an XC trail day coming soon I believe so the new course can be cut in.
The Knob is going to be a one -stop-shop this year with all the new happenings. Downhill, Slopestyle, XC....man, all in Wooster!










This is what I have been doing instead of riding. It passes the time pretty quickly.
