Many of you have ridden bits and parts of Hyper Ventilation as the trail building was happening. But now at last the trail has been completed. The trail is about 2km long (actually 1.93 km if ya want to get anal ;) ) It starts about 100 meters below the high point of Roots. The trail for the most part is between a 10 to 15% grade. Near the beginning there are a couple of short sections that hit close to 22%...but they are short. The trail is 98% ridable uphill.

There are a couple of options:

1. Ride Hyper Ventilation to the summit 4965 feet and descend down Hyper Extension and then continue down Roots Extension to the Coal Creek bridge.

2. Ride/hike a bike up Hyper Extension to the summit and ride down Hyper Ventilation. This descent has 22 switchbacks (some are still too tight to get around , but we're gonna keep working them till they are all do-able) When you hit the roots trail you can go either direction, it's downhill both ways.

I had the pleasure of riding/hike a biking up Hyper Extension and then doing a great downhill on Hyper V. with a group of fine ladies this morning (Including Ryland's Mom) We all had a blast!

Sorry I have no pictures for this blog...my camera bit the big one. Pat Gilmar has lots of pics...maybe he can submit some and add comment?

Get out there and check it out!

Cheers!!
