My buddy and I have a campsite reserved at Lower Lewis River Falls campground for two nights. We were thinking about doing section 1 of the WA BDR but were also looking for some other forest road suggestions to check out. Single track is not out of the question but some less difficult tracks would be prefered. We are running 50/50-ish tires so if it requires more aggressive tread then we are less likely to give it a go. Thank you for any suggestions and I hope everyone is going to have a great riding season.

I love this record and the pressing is quite beautiful.

Day 1 ride back to the Redwoods

My buddy and I were trying to do a trip to the Redwoods via the coast last year but the bike broke down on the first day. We decided to re do this trip in August and stay inland on the way down and take the coast back north. I am super excited for this first day of riding.

I am not much of a mechanic and get nervous anytime I need to do things with my bikes systems but I really want to rotate the handlebar clamps around for a bit more standing room on the TA. Is there anything I should know or be aware of before I attempt this?
It appears that you can just remove the bars, re bolt the top clamps and rotate them using a pipe or something strong that fits inside the closed handlebar clamp to rotate them.
Am I over complicating this in my head or is there anything else I need to be concerned about before attempting this? Thank you all for any advise on this one.
