So-called 'hero dirt' conditions...

exist on the singletrack right now, the perfect level of soil moisture that makes for a grippy experience with optimal traction. When I left the valley in July the trail surface was dry and dusty and loose so it’s wonderful that the recent rains have naturally repaired the trails.

The perfect trail surface: Better traction, effective braking, precise cornering with overall enhanced control.

It doesn’t get any better than this.
