I don't use clipless pedals. Are the neoprene booties going to hold up ok pedaling on them?

Yea, in fact I think you can basically cut out much of the bottom so that your shoe makes contact with the pedal. Just leave some material up around the toes.

Awesome. I'm going to pull the trigger on some Endura gear from hucknroll.com via Amazon. Extra 5% cash back FTW.

Looks like I have some serious MTB trails close to me, maybe 30 minutes in the car to the trails


Signal Knob


This ride is extremely technical and also pretty hard. Expect to portage your bike across a number of clifftop boulder fields. The fabulous views and exceptional trail riding in between make it all very worthwhile. Highlights: Boulder fields, clifftop views, portaging, fun single track




Found some more even closer

Elizabeth's furnace is some kick ass technical riding. I'll be up for this if my tendinitis ever heals?
