20240524 - Bontrager XR4 vs. Maxxis DHR DHF - Two Pines, Burnside, Tanga, ACE - Pacifica - MTB

Shamrock Ranch in Pacifica is for sale for $35M. There comes a time when everyone has to move on. What does that mean for the community and local mountain bikers? Who knows?

My friend Hao gave me a set of Bontrager wheels complete with a micro-clicky hub (I don't know what they're called...) and Bontrager XR4 Team Issue tires. They are a thinner casing and the grip was different. This was my light ride test with them.

I’ve tried a few different brand tires but always find myself going back to DHF/DHR. That’s a nice long descent with epic views.

They should call this trail widow-maker! 🤦‍♂

wierd that there is not a single rock on the trail, seems like the trail builders took most of the fun out of the mountain for safety concerns.
