Perfect Conditions: Doctor Park 10.16.11

(Last Updated On: August 15, 2017)

First things first: I’ve been working a ton. That’s why this is the first entry in quite some time. Thankfully I was able to get out for one day last weekend, and even more thankfully conditions were exceptional. While the early season snows largely melted away, Doctor Park was left in a state of tacky perfection with rustling leaves covering the trail. Perfection.

‘Tis a beautiful sight to see:

Our regular camera died pretty quickly, so most of those shots were with the GoPro, which I actually think takes pretty good photos of the fisheye variety. I shot video on the descent, and it was pretty hard to edit out much of it. Doctor Park is so good from top to bottom, so which part of the descent would you eliminate- the top fast section?, the techy middle?, the Ewok descent through the forest?, or the tech finish? So I left it all in- perhaps too long, but a good reference for the bike guide for those who have yet to ride it. Enjoy:

    You need a shorter stem and wider bars.

    Like to expand on that, Tommy? I don’t ride an XL because I’m 5’7″, and I don’t ride super wide bars because I have narrow shoulders.
