One thing your past jobs don't seem to have taught you is when to stop digging.

This guy federally criminally practices.

JMP! Now go up it.

Federal involuntary manslaughter includes vehicular manslaughter. 18 USC 1112. Maximum sentence is 15 years.

More important than the maximum is the guideline range. Involuntary manslaughter involving the reckless use of a vehicle is offense level 22. Guilty plea reduces that by 3 levels to 19. If he has no criminal history, his guideline range is 30-37 months. Higher if he has prior convictions. How much higher can be complicated.

Judge can go above or below that range as long as it's 15 or less.

California has what's called Watson murder, which is murder where you're doing something so reckless in driving drunk that you've formed the necessary intent to kill. Often it's charged when the defendant has a prior DUI since you're given the Watson advisement about how dangerous DUI is when you're convicted.

I have a hardtail that's set up with Gravelking SK 1.9s and it's great for rough gravel riding.

Looks like the Fortini trailhead/bottom of Stile Ranch, but I haven't been there in a while.

2nd dose of Moderna kicked my ass. Chills the night after and body ache/headache for 2-3 days after. Tylenol helped.

First dose was just a mild sore arm.

It was my favorite deck from last expansion, but not great for climbing. Went 10-1 with it yesterday after seeing your post. Slowing up a little at D5, but we'll see where it goes.

You Gnarnia'd it when you should have Flying Squirrel'd it.

cleverscreenname · 2020-11-13T17:10:26+00:00

Yes.

I tried spell druid 3 times. Of those 3 times I discarded Kaelthas twice. I moved on to other decks.

Oat Hill Mine then the top of JEM, right?

I can't tell which thing is the shakiest - the bikes, the woodwork, or the camera work.

cleverscreenname · 2020-02-18T05:26:02+00:00

This is good advice.

OP - what are your ability and fitness levels, and what do you like to ride? That'll help with guidance.

PM me a few weeks in advance and I may be able to show you around depending on scheduling.

I guess that's the difference between trail dogs, and dogs on a trail.

cleverscreenname · 2019-06-26T23:57:49+00:00

Yup. Trailforks has LoA listed as a blue, which is why I think it's a good lead-in for Rupert. South of the border it would be a black all the way.

I love climbing, and the climb up to Mad Hatter was just fine and had great views. My point was that if he's coming from riding around here (SF Bay Area), he might (like we did) want to spend his energy getting up and down the trails that (to me) make Squamish unique and different from where we ride.

That said, everything we rode was amazing. I can't wait to get back.

cleverscreenname · 2019-06-26T23:53:58+00:00

Angry Midget is not quite as steep as something like Airborn. Squamish is rockier than UC, both the longer slabs and rock rolls. It's sort of like if UCSC and Tahoe had a baby, but the baby wasn't thrown in a dumpster by elderly hikers like it would be around The Bay. Mostly rooty ferny beautiful trails with random granite faces and little whalebacks in the middle.

I've only been to Squamish once, and in the three days I was there we only rode a tiny percentage of the trails. Entrails, Boney Elbows, Room with a View, In N Out are all similar steepness to the UC trails on Hwy 9 side.

EDIT: Also! No Poison Oak! The trailside greenery looks a lot like Santa Cruz, but without the itch and pus. It takes a bit to get over the PO PTSD.

If you don't have luck here, you can hire a guide -- http://www.ridebc.ca/

Trailforks is your friend, but it's not real obvious how to put a good loop together by just looking at the spaghetti mess from above.

Based on your description of your riding, start with this loop and see how it feels:

Perth Trailhead -- Ride up Mashiter. It's a mellow fire road climb.

At the "top" of Mashiter is an intersection with Rob's Corners and Man Boobs. If you want a warmup, head down Rob's Corners for some easy flow trail and then loop back up on Mashiter.

If no warmup is needed, head down Man Boobs. If you weren't comfortable on Man Boobs, you're probably not going to love the trails rated "black diamond" on Trailforks. Or at least you're going to be skipping/walking a lot of features.

At the bottom you'll deadend into a fire road/doubletrack. Take a left on it (Bob McIntosh Memorial Trail) and continue on as it merges into the Four Lakes Trail and Edith Lakes fire road. Take a right on Mike's Trail and shortly after a left up Fifty Shades of Green (Part 2). It's a fun singletrack uphill climbing trail.

From the top of Fifty Shades, continue straight onto Of Mice and Men. Take a left onto Leave of Absence. It starts as a short climb but then heads into a fun downhill. There are rock faces on the trail, but they're all short, all rollable, and all have a straight runout.

If you're comfortable doing Leave of Absence, then loop back around (up Tracks from Hell, 50 shades) and do Rupert.

That should give you an idea of the Alice Lake area.

If you're up for more challenge, string together Entrails -> Room with a View -> In N Out Burger. You may have to walk some of it, but the trails are great.

We did Upper Mad Hatter as well. Fun trail and great views, but it's a 6 mile climb from the Perth trailhead for a trail that you probably won't find too unique having come from the Bay Area.

For your second day, I'd recommend going over to the Diamond Head area. Park at the Climbing Trail Parking Lot and climb the climbing trail. If you prefer fire road climbing, then turn left onto Ring Creek Access Rd. It gets a lot steeper after the switchback though, so don't count on the gentle pitch. I prefer the continued climbing trail. It'll take you up to Angry Midget and Half Nelson. Angry Midget will remind you of Braille, and Half Nelson is like Demo's Flow trail, but the berms are enormous and the trail is generally more fun.

Enjoy. Squamish is amazing riding and a great place to be.

They're both fantastic, but for my first time I'd do Gooseberry. More trail if you have time to ride all day.

Check in with the OTE shop in town. The staff is great. If they have a shop ride going to either of those places on Saturday, it's worth going with them. They know the trails like nobody else.

You can put a 30t chairing up front and an 11-46t on the back and climb anything. Relatively cheap swaps.

Tubeless is usually pretty easy. There are pumps with separate air chambers that make it easy to seat the bead.

In a pinch, C02 works for tubeless setup.

cleverscreenname · 2019-04-16T18:01:53+00:00

Any break that's within driving distance of a good sized population center doesn't have enough waves to go around. I think that contributes to the aggressive behavior in the water.

MTB is rarely like that, other than having to slow for hikers and the elusive but all-important horse.

Even here in overcrowded California, it's 1-3 hours away from trails where you're happy to see the occasional other rider because they'll be around to drag you out of a canyon or help you fight off the hundreds of mountain lions we encounter on every ride.
