YOLO, seems like a nice relaxing vacation! WCI has shared some climbing pics. Any other extreme fans?

Thanks. Many many people do that trail, so I wouldn't regard it as an epoch(or epic?) achievement, but there's definitely an element of risk. Most of the patients I see with MTBing injuries(including a pneumothorax)are low speed injuries(under 5 MPH). Though if you go off an edge like on the videos, you're probably not going to the local urgent care. Needless to say, I find that outdoor rock climbing, even though I'm secured on a rope, orders of magnitude more nut tingling.
Without being to rabbit holey, you should check out Danny Macaskill's MTBing ventures:

11 mi up buckhorn trail(fireroads) around 3000 ft climb. 5 mi downhill all single track. I don't bomb downhills and for me it's steep. I had to take more breaks going downhill than uphill from all the near continuous breaking.👍 1Comment

Have done a ride in Guatemala, it wasnt technically hard but was extreme in that if you got hurt...welp, and it was steep.
Bombing down Mt. Lemmon might be in the category, not exactly as sketchy, but we're going fast.
Coming down from Summerhaven to Seven Cataracts, pre Graham warm up ride.Dashware telemetry power speed watt wattage mph
Gibraltar is a great climb in Santa Barbara for road, its a slower decline since narrow/sharp turns. Some mtb riding around aspen, but im super novice on a mtb and it mostly scares me.Last edited by Zaphod; 11-21-2020, 06:30 AM.👍 1Comment

That's not a trail, it's a via ferrata. Look at the cabling on the right side. I'd do it as a via ferrata, but not as a mountain bike ride! I do have something kind of similar planned for the morning though:

Cant believe I didnt know about this road when I lived there, dang. I would not be taking it like this dude though, he is at serious angles a lot of the time, thats some serious trust. Nice thing about lemmon is its strange for a mountain road, its really wide and the tuns are super gentle. One of the top climbs in the country.👍 1Comment
