I wish I could tell you for sure. It's been a while. I rode up from downtown and through a park which I think is in the video and then crossed the road into a community and there was a trailhead parking lot. I wish I could remember the name of the community.

Got a photo of that spot you tube won’t let me put on the comments!

I'll have to get down there and check it out. Thanks for the heads up. Monkey Loops is always fun for a few laps too.

Could be. I've ridden that bridge tons of times but you never know. I like the bridge though. Wooden features almost always make trails better in my opinion.

I've ridden a lot down in that area, but it's been awhile. I don't remember a wooden feature near Monkey Loops. Is it new?

Haha, I actually found that one while looking for Monkey Loop. It’s right near Trail 7 off the greenway, steeper jumps, a lot of fun

Thanks! It was a good ride. I don't live near Reno, but it is a beautiful area with a lot of opportunities for riding and hiking.

Yes.

About 2.5 hours total time. Actual riding time a little less.

Lol.... Rule #1 : don't forget to unclip!

Glad to hear this. With lots of practice and getting used to it, that is the ultimate goal.

Good advice, thanks. My shoes came with clips that were supposed to be compatible (or so I thought) with Shimano pedals, but they weren't. I had to get Shimano clips and they fit. Both were 3 hole version, but shaped slightly differently.

Does this apply to both delta and SPD clips?

I am not sure what Delta is. I would assume as long as you need to twist to unlock this would be the case. Pulling upward on a twisting mechanism will create a lot of friction force and prevent the twisting motion from happening. And then you are stuck looking like a funky chicken with your legs/knees twitching like crazy as you topple over. LOL I have been clipping in for so long now it is 2nd nature to kick my heal down and out. I have Favero Assiamo pedals(basic LOOKs) and they are just like Shimano, LOOK, and Speedplay as far as the motion to get out of them. I still have moments of panic and feelings of terror in emergency situations. But I get out of the pedals just fine. I have hit the deck a couple of times while I was learning. It doesn't hurt... much. :D @@two-wheeledfun

When I said Delta, I was referring to the LOOK Deltas (although mine are Shimano, not LOOK) which are the 3 hole version vs. the 2 hole SPD. Sounds like what you have. Thanks for the response.

​@@two-wheeledfun this applies to both types of pedals. You should not be able to pull out of the pedal by lifting up. That's the whole point of them

@@two-wheeledfun :D Gotchya. :D I am fairly certain most cleats exit in the same manner. Down and out. Practicing this while leaning against a wall, on your bike, helps with muscle memory. That way when you have your first "panic" stop and have to unclip it is more of a reaction than a thought and then react. p.s. everyone falls a couple of times at first. I have been riding clipped in for about 12 years now. Haven't met one person that has not done it. :D Aim for the grass!!

It's pretty different at first, but I think you'll get used to it during a ride. I've only done the one ride so far because it's been raining. I would suggest practicing first by getting on your bike with one foot on the ground and clipping in and out with the other a bunch of times before you get going. And then just don't forget to unclip before you stop! Good luck tomorrow!

Took the plunge 6 years ago. Do not miss flats a bit, clipped in is the way to go. You get used to it in no time, then it is just really comfortable. Good luck!

Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words.

😂

Sounds like a bunch of legos

I had similar thoughts as I rode up to it.

🤔

In Comfort, TX about 40 miles or so northwest of San Antonio.

Thank you

Fruita, CO.

Haha! Great comment.... thanks for that.😂.

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it.

Yes, I rode this on June 2.

@two-wheeledfun nice! I'm going first week of August. Am a little worried about it being to hot. I'm from AZ though. So shouldn't be to big of a deal.

Yeah, it will probably be hot. Just be prepared and take plenty of water. I had 2 bottles and ran out by the end. Hope you have a great time.

Yeah, they're a tough bunch.

😁

Seen some wildlife, but no big foot's yet. Only a matter of time I'm sure.

Thanks!
