Rutabaga @ Lair O Bear || Colorado

[@MasterMindAgentNetwork]

Good job. That climb up the rock ramp is much harder than it looks. Thanks for sharing the climbing challenge.

[@MaddyPitts]

Thanks for watching!

[@xXxTeenSplayer]

I tried to take the line up the super steep giant grippy rock on the right, yesterday, my first time on the trail. It didn't work lol...

[@MarathonMindy]

Love the struggle, success and sessioning

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Nice effort on the crazy climb! I've seen a video where a guy goes straight instead of turning and then clears it. A few others cleared it. I've never even really tried but I might give it a shot next time!

[@MaddyPitts]

How did it turn out? I’ve completed it about 10 times since this video but it never gets easier lol

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

@@MaddyPitts I haven't been there since my reply. If it cools down and it's not a busy time I'll give it a go!

[@80211Denver]

I'm so stoked to see I wasn't the only one having trouble with that first feature you guys are knocking on

[@MaddyPitts]

lol it was a tough one!!!!

[@Wizler71]

My goto ride on a weeknight after work. Nice job climbing the rock wall!

[@MaddyPitts]

It’s a good spot!!!

[@datalaforge]

Amazing work on that rock waterfall! I’m headed to that trail right now and I’d be so proud of myself to get even halfway up that thing.

[@MaddyPitts]

Did ya do it? I went back the next day and tried for an hour before I finally got it lol

[@datalaforge]

​@@MaddyPitts Yoo that's amazing! Congrats!🎉🎉🎉 I saw your comment this morning and decided to go give it another try and I'm stuck at that first bump. I think it's going to be a long while or a different bike before I climb that.

[@andrewgillman6327]

I did this yesterday first time, didn't seem to be that harsh but awsome effort was seen here. I am very new to this stuff but a power output definitely helps to get through the what's seen by most as harder. Nice work.

[@MaddyPitts]

Dang! That’s a hot take! lol 😂 Most say it’s worse than it looks! But, heck yeah! Good work!

[@johnmcguire5594]

That one gentleman did really good. I can only get about halfway up myself, but rutabaga is fun. God bless and keep the rubber down.

[@MaddyPitts]

Thanks, you too!

[@katietrotter9374]

People say bikes widen trails and cause erosion. Meanwhile rutabaga is the narrowest and least eroded trail at lair. And we can check back in ten years and see the same thing.

[@MaddyPitts]

Bikes are the best ◡̈

[@ibmixin]

I’ve been picking away at that rock feature since it opened, it’s nice to have some video footy of some people cleaning it. Now I know a little better what I should be doing.

[@MaddyPitts]

It took me a BUNCH of tries! I went back the next day and it took an hour but I finally got it! I should have waited to post this video lol you got it!!!!

[@aphoric18tqm]

Those stairs look easy on camera, but real life is another story

[@MaddyPitts]

It’s crazy how difficult!

[@MarathonMindy]

What bike is Maddy riding?

[@MaddyPitts]

Pivot Switchblade

[@Mikipadilla303]

Good job but how you g9nna call this rutabaga when you spent 3/4 of the video climbing the wall

[@MaddyPitts]

Is this a rhetorical question? Or what are we trying to accomplish here?

[@patrickcarver3607]

She called in Rutabaga. That wall is on Rutabaga Loop. She did Rutabaga Ride at the end.

[@naym0001]

ugh, yet to get this one!

[@MaddyPitts]

Haha it’s funny. It looks easy. Def not!

[@pedalvision]

Madison casually pops into my feed …you know I’m watching! And 10 friggin times!?

[@MaddyPitts]

Ayyyyyy! Thanks! 🙏 trying to do more videos of my own! Just posted a Bentonville vid!

[@karlevans1961]

That damn wall…😂.

[@MaddyPitts]

So tough!

[@xXxTeenSplayer]

I rode this trail for the first time yesterday. Videos don't do some of the challenging sections justice imo. It's tougher than it looks!

[@MorganBrown]

Time to do some impromptu maintenance on that outside rut 😂

[@MaddyPitts]

Hahaha!

[@rocco1109]

What brand are your pants?

[@MaddyPitts]

Zoic Apparel!

[@kr38tve]

😎👊

[@greggoldman893]

It goes to the right and up the slab.

[@MaddyPitts]

Ahhh easy as that!

[@greggoldman893]

Well….maybe not as easy as that, but it goes!

[@caylanwojciechowski8233]

I’d try raising your seat sitting a bit more and just hovering over it for traction. That’s a long techy push to be standing the whole time.

[@GulfCoastBattle]

💪🏆💪

[@robdufficy4924]

Cuz it’s a brand new trail, duh! I live 15 minutes from Lair and have been riding it for 20 yrs at least, massive change in the trails with high usage. It’s just the way it goes with front range trails.

[@MaddyPitts]

I live really close to rutabaga too! Howdy neighbor!

[@frober30]

That climb is easier if you sprint into it with the most speed you can, drop to granny gear and take it straight at the top instead of left.

[@MaddyPitts]

I got it the next day a few times without going straight. 🎉

[@bog1e]

That rock wall is a nope! Good job though.

[@MaddyPitts]

lol it’s tough!

[@thearchitectO1]

Shred

[@andyorr1597]

I appreciate the editing effort but that background music had me moving on pretty quick. Looks like fun content otherwise.

[@MaddyPitts]

Noted!

[@darinsmith2458]

Looks extreme to me.

[@MaddyPitts]

🤓

[@HomeInBeing]

Ruin your body while you're young 😅

[@MaddyPitts]

lol. Ehhhh you only get one chance at life!

[@fatpatMC]

fun aint it #triplebega

[@MaddyPitts]

🤓 now it is since I’ve successfully done the climb 5 times. lol before that…. Not so much!
