Tearin' it up at Tolt

Jeff and Case met up for a mtb ride at Tolt this past Saturday and they couldn't have been more pleased with the trail conditions. Despite a few low spots having some puddles the trails were dry and as a result "fast". They tore them up for a little over an hour and then starting to head back down, decided to make one more loop and that is when they heard a loud SNAP. Jeff had ridden over a bridge and started to ascend a steep hill when his chain broke. Fortunately, he has seen his fair share of PQ's and knows how to kick bike back to the downhill, where they zipped down and finished their ride. Total mileage was just under 10 in 1hr 15min.

If you aren't familiar with the Tolt trail system it is one that is highly recommended by Thrive AR as a lot of our training sessions occur there with 2 of our 4 teammates living near by. The trails are technical with many ups and downs, forcing you to keep your focus throughout the entire ride.
