Well I decided, quite at the last minute,to make the 120 mile roundtrip
to the much hearalded, "Suicide connector", to see if it lived up to
the hype. Bottom line, for me, is that it is a cross between Devil's
Slide & Stair-stepper, but MUCH more work to get to. A very steep,
mostly un-rideable TWO MILE hike up the mostly loose shale/sandstone
trail, with some techy parts on the way up.
I wanted to basically check it out on my own to get a feel for it, plus
since it was last minute, I really didn't have the opportunity to plan
the ride with anyone else. Among my injuries this day was a "tweaking"
of both ankles during some rather questionable drops, "jammed" fingers
(that really hurt!:eek🙂 and, once again, my left peddle FLEW off the
spindle while bombing down a particularly rugged section.
I thought I'd lost the "C" clip (secures the pedal to the spindle)
amongst the rocks, when the sun peeked through the clouds and bounced a
glint of light off the silvery metal clip, saving me a rather long walk
back! I'm going to put in a call to Atomlabs in themorning and complain
so hopefully they'll either return them, or replace them with the most
current, best version.
All in all, it was a nice experience, but not really worth the 120 mile
roundtrip. I'd just assoon shave 40 miles off the next drive and have a
choice of Devil's, G-spot and/or Hummingbird; all within a stone's
throw of eachother. No video from today; just a few low-res
pics.😎😄🙂
