Nice trail! I may be visiting friends in Minneapolis next fall, so I marked this trail on my maps. I’ve been riding with a local group, and while I enjoy riding alone, I appreciate the company sometimes.
Looks like a fun ride! When I ride with my regular mob we still spend around 50% of our time talking, but it never extends beyond socialising & bullshitting. Both of which are hugely important to my well-being of course, but I may need to track down a practice buddy too.
Dogtank, have you tried to pitch the idea of sessioning to your regular mob? Maybe it be advisable to demonstrate it to them on one obstacle on one of your regular rides?
Have thought about it but most of them don't have the mindset for it, plus due to different variations of life we struggle to get even a monthly dirt ride arranged as it is. I'm debating joining local club rides instead but it somehow feels like I am cheating on them!
That rock slide... oyyy you had me worried!
Chapeau to you three and thank you for sharing!
You're welcome, Renee!

Hey Thomas, there are over 30 MTB trails in the Mpls area, so you've got a lot to choose from. The Trailforks app is a good tool for exploring.

How about trying to find just one person who might be interested in sessioning?
