I just finished a fun tandem bike ride with my son Luke.  The Ester Dome Single Track is quite a challenge for a tandem.  We had  a little trouble in one spot but managed to stay up right. Sharp steep turns are not easy to do on a tandem.  Needless to say the T&T was not possible with the tandems long wheel base and I had to skip the jumps. Luke said he wanted breaks and did not like the fact he had a large blind sport right in front of him, me. Thanks Luke. When we finished riding there we 8 cars in the parking area. Good thing we are adding trails next year.

It features adjustable height on the fly. I found myself adjusting it almost as much as I shift. One of those things that when you get used to it it will be hard to live without.  At least on the Ester Dome Single Track.  Three inches of  adjustment. I set it high for the climbs, a little lower for the rough areas and most of the way down for the jumps and drops.

Wow what a ride. It is designed to ride both directions and does so very well. I can not decide which one I like better. Going clock wise offers some fun descents through mining trenches, a wooden drop and one spot for some major air if desired. going the other direction offers more air and breaks up the climbing more.

We still have more finish work to do and will be building more features from wood and rock. We meet every tursday at 6 work a couple hours (all tools are provided) and have beer and pizza after.

Come ride it. Come Help build it. And look forward to more then doubling the size next year.
