It was a two-niner day at Lambert Park!

Kris and I have been going crazy to get out on our mountain bikes, so we decided to try out Lambert Park this morning.  Since we didn't know how muddy it would be, Kris decided to ride her Gary Fisher Superfly hardtail instead of her new Superfly 100 and I rode my Gary Fisher Hi Fi Pro 29er (Yes, just like my Madone, it is red!)

As you can see in the pic, we picked up a little mud but most of the trails were actually ride-able.  If the weather cooperates, I am hoping we will start night-riding at Lambert again.  If you think Rodeo Down is fun during the day, try it at night with us.  Nite Rider makes great durable lights that are perfect for night riding.  (I need my lights very durable for my "unintentional" crazy stunts that somehow end up happening to me when I am riding behind Jeff :)

For those of you new to Lambert Park... It is located in Alpine, UT approximately 9 miles Northeast from the store.  It has 11 miles of single-track loops and even more double-track that are usually ride-able from March to early December.  Most of the single-track trails are intermediate level with some climbing options.  It can also be a great place for beginners to try single track or stay on the doubles. 
Here is a map of the area.  Single-tracks are in color.  We like to start at the southwest end by the church on E. Alpine Blvd. You can stop by the store for a larger map and ask what our favorite trails are to ride.

Today, we weren't able to ride some of my favorite trails.  There was still snow and/or mud in the north upper areas and on High Bench.  We saw quite a few tracks or should I say "ruts" coming from Rodeo Down and we didn't want to ruin the trails by adding to the "ruts".  

Trails that were ride-able today at Lambert:
Middle, River, Lambert's Luge, Ruin, Wildcat, Corkscrew, Indian, Flank, Ziggy, zag, and the Dogs.


Speaking of mountain biking and two-niners or 29er's... I absolutely love riding them!  Gary Fisher really knows how to make one!  All last year I kept trying to tell everyone they need to ride a 29er and finally riders are listening.  We have had quite the demand for the new Superfly 100 which is very hard to get.  Thank you Trek/Fisher for taking care of our customers and getting us the bikes that have not been available!

Can they make a bike better than this??  Handbuilt OCLV carbon in Waterloo, WI ... FULL suspension... 29 inch wheels... 23.5 lbs.. WHAT!!?  

We just got in the last 21" and 19"

 
Other 29er options that have also been very popular for 2010:


THE RUMBLEFISH I ... for those who want to try the "29" but live for "travel"

The Hi Fi PlUS ... for those that want the Superfly 100 but haven't found a way to hide the extra money from their spouse. 

The X-CALIBER ... an excellent hardtail 29er choice for riders that want to stay around $1,500 or for those over 35 that aren't ready to admit to their buddies that they want full suspension.  

Disclaimer: (is the end the right place for a disclaimer or should it be in the beginning?) I am not as talented as Mitch is at taking pictures, especially from my Droid phone.  So the best thing for you to do is, come in the store and see them in person so you can really get the "Love" for a 29er.  We have test rides in the parking lot and... stay tuned for future demo opportunities to ride one with us on the trails.
