Kingsbury Stinger is my favorite downhill trail in Tahoe. Some sections are where old log flumes ran, Very few riders on it most days. Great video.

Hey Robert, FYI for you. Top of Spooner is a little over 7100'. Lake elevation is about 6200. And that first part of climbing that TRT isn't punchy, its vertical. :)

Coming over from Spooner is a sneaky beast of a climb. Lots of areas with embedded rocks that just sap the power out of your legs, plus it actually starts at a little over 7k and goes to about 8500'. Early season, like you hit it, is really good, later in the year you ride a few beaches down low :). Have you thought about doing Rose to Toads? Great ride, great people, great scenery and funds go to building and maintaining our trails up here. Keep it up!

@@B1KER It'd be a good personal challenge :). It's not horrible. Leave early in the morning is the best way, it gets pretty warm. There's also lots of drop out trails too. I had to drop early twice. Once right after I broke my pelvis on Corral, and then the next year crashing a hundred yards past the Bench on Spooner, more mental on that one than pain. It's worth it, you can do it :)

The Tallboy probably would have been fine. Overall that bike is capable. It just beats your body up a little more having less suspension.
