Don't miss this classic Tahoe ride! - Hole in the Ground

[@rrobinsx]

Loved watching this. I had to check my strava to when when I was last up there. I havent done that since 2018. Its on the list for 2024 now!

[@B1KER]

Right on, I didn't realize that it had been so long since I'd been up there either. Time flies!

[@danjones1365]

As I’ve become a more “seasoned” rider it’s fun to go back and rediscover some of the trails that first got me excited about mountain biking. HITG is one of those trails

[@B1KER]

Yeah, I hear ya there. With the riding season at altitude short, it's really hard to squeeze in all of your favorites as well as try something new every year.

[@mtb7018]

Thanks brother, as i sit here recovering from a hip replacement you brought me a big smile…can’t wait

[@B1KER]

Right on man!

[@B1KER]

Get well soon!

[@vin374]

My favorite in Tahoe!! Great video

[@B1KER]

I really struggled with trying to show it was fun, but also that it's a lot of work to ride that trail. I didn't want to mislead people.

[@midcenturyadventures]

You are my favorite MTB KZbinr. Your videos give me the most stoke! I've been watching them from the beginning. Thanks for making me want to get out and ride!

[@B1KER]

That’s awesome man. I feel privileged to get a comment like that. 🙌

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

Very Colorado esqe. Looks like somewhere near I-70 between Denver and Grand Junction. I love these kind of rides, thanks for posting this one!

[@B1KER]

You bet! I need to ride over your way. 🤞

[@MTBQandA]

Looks like a blast with all those places to session. Goes without sayin but I will, great vid!

Thanks man!

WAaayy Cool!! Nice vid.!

Glad you enjoyed it

[@karlfonner7589]

I haven’t seen you in a long time. It looks like mountain biking has been good to you.

[@B1KER]

It’s always been good to me. I’m the biggest problem with me. 😂

[@Mtb9r]

Super chunky fun looking stuff. I have good friends in Susanville they ride all over that area. Maybe you’ll meet up with them someday. Or come out to Colorado and hammer altitude with me. Happy trails.

[@B1KER]

I'd love to ride Colorado!

[@Mtb9r]

Dude maybe we work something out in 24.

[@B1KER]

@@Mtb9r I'd like to get over there for sure. We'll see how it plays out.

[@mtb4l484]

I really need to so this ride one time

[@B1KER]

It’s a fun one.

[@jkm8089]

Looks like close to trail you did on Rocky Mountain demo ride a few years back? I was on that with you and recall that was good as well….

[@B1KER]

That’s in the same area. We actually did some of the climb up towards the Hole in The Ground trailhead. Good eye!

[@jkm8089]

Keep up the great content! Stay strong in 2024!!!

[@dsnowman2675]

How much elevation gain was the ride? Also, when did you do this ride? That area should be covered in snow by now.

[@B1KER]

2228' and was recorded back in October of 22. Here's my strava from the ride: www.strava.com/activities/7902587584

where is the Fezzari?

This was before I got it.

[@christhrift6165]

you get rid of the Fezzari?

No, this was recorded before I got it.

@@B1KER how are you liking the spokex wheels and onyx hubs. I just ordered a set after watching the video you did

[@B1KER]

@@christhrift6165 I’ve been super happy with Spokex. The silient hubs were pretty awesome until I blew the rear up on a ride. Pretty let down how that happened in about 2 months of riding. I’m planning on switching back to P321 hubs.

[@christhrift6165]

@@B1KER Did onyx warranty them?

[@B1KER]

@@christhrift6165 Yeah, they did. However the more I thought about how quickly it failed the more worried I got about being screwed in the back country. I do a lot of high elevation rides that having a failure like that again could be really bad. Even though the replaced it, I'm just going to use them on stuff that's local or on my wife's bike since she's not pushing the watts I do. I read a little more later and they reccomend the older/heavier design for big guys like me.

[@trickelfamily]

that climb sucks sweaty balls!

[@B1KER]

Oh yeah, and even after 10 years I still remembered how much it sucked. Hahaha
