I waited way to long to ride this trail - Stinger Trail - Lake Tahoe, Ca

Long story short a car accident blocking the road kept me from riding the Stinger trail years ago. After bumping into an old coworker on Strava we ended up riding the TRT from Spooner over to Stinger and I finally got a chance to ride this trail. I can't believe I waited this long.

Kingsbury Stinger is my favorite downhill trail in Tahoe. Some sections are where old log flumes ran, Very few riders on it most days. Great video.

Hey Robert, FYI for you. Top of Spooner is a little over 7100'. Lake elevation is about 6200. And that first part of climbing that TRT isn't punchy, its vertical. :)

Coming over from Spooner is a sneaky beast of a climb. Lots of areas with embedded rocks that just sap the power out of your legs, plus it actually starts at a little over 7k and goes to about 8500'. Early season, like you hit it, is really good, later in the year you ride a few beaches down low :). Have you thought about doing Rose to Toads? Great ride, great people, great scenery and funds go to building and maintaining our trails up here. Keep it up!

@@B1KER It'd be a good personal challenge :). It's not horrible. Leave early in the morning is the best way, it gets pretty warm. There's also lots of drop out trails too. I had to drop early twice. Once right after I broke my pelvis on Corral, and then the next year crashing a hundred yards past the Bench on Spooner, more mental on that one than pain. It's worth it, you can do it :)

@determinedskeptic Жыл бұрын

Rad! Defo a place to ride and enjoy by the looks of it 🤘 Gotta ask though, the flow at the end looks like the Tallboy would've been the one to ride there, but would it have made the chunk higher-up less fun, or even almost not rideable?

@B1KER Жыл бұрын

The Tallboy probably would have been fine. Overall that bike is capable. It just beats your body up a little more having less suspension.

Yeah totally. You could probably leave a rider at the end watching the bikes and have the driver take an Uber back to the car.

@@B1KER I'm usually solo. Earlier in July though I rode the Flume shuttle out of Incline, I've done that the past few years now. I also was able to ride the Van Sickle trail as a shuttle. I parked at stagecoach and rode to the hotel, I was then able to get a ride back to my car without the bike.
