- Somehow this trail just flies under the radar. It delivers amazing views and a technical fast paced downhill that is arguably the best in South Lake Tahoe. If you haven't ridden this, you should.

Thanks for sharing these short punchy trails. Definitely going to hit this when the snow melts.
For as short as it is, that's a super fun trail.
Thank you for reminding us to enjoy a little climbing!
Hahahahaha, no problem!
That lower rock section looks amazing!
There is definitely some sweet rock work.
I just spent the week in Tahoe and rode this trail. It was better than I anticipated. Got increasingly Rocky as you went down and was a ton of fun.
Somehow it slips under the radar.
Thx Rob! This trail is awesome!
Definitely a fun one.
Amazing views and man I’ve never seen rock work like that!
Yeah, it’s pretty rad!
I’ll be riding this trail for the first time in a couple of hours from now, looking forward to it. Thanks for the awesome video!
You’ll be stoked. It’s super fun!
Great video. The video/ audio quality is awesome. I need to ride Tahoe more. This trail looks awesome and a must ride this season.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks fun mate. I think i would be stopping to enjoy that view a few times 😍
There is a lot of stunning views on this trail. It’s totally acceptable. 👍
Looks sick
Thanks!
This looks like a fun day. Love when you post a new ride!
More to come!
Stoked to see a ride video! That trail is intense and nothing better then seeing a B1KER hike a bike to remind us that everyone is human. 🤙
Hahaha, thanks man!
What a cool ride!
Thanks!
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it
That was an enjoyable video, thank you! That climb was hideous, remind me of a climb that is on the way to Portal Trail in Moah, Utah. Agree with you 100% the sense of satisfaction I get from climbing is special, even if sometime you got to push the bike.
A hard climb is good for the soul!
What a great ride! You do an amazing job with your videos! Such great quality! I was wondering if you can share your microphone settings (what kind of mic u use?). Your voice sounds so clear when you are riding so high quality. Maybe you already did a video on the mic you use? Great job B1KER! Keep doing videos. I always get exited when you release a new video.
I use a Rode NT when doing voiceovers on my computer. When I’m riding it’s just the GoPro with dead cats on the mics.
Fun video Rob! I rode here a few weeks ago but at that time I think this trail was still not quite ready. Now I need to get back to try this one!
It’s a fun one!
This place is amazing brother looks those rock gardens and that beautiful view nice video brother
Thanks for watching
Those light conditions look like it added another layer of challenge, this looks like exactly my kind of trail. Gorgeous scenery, lots of pedaling and a good amount of opportunity to session weird, trials-y B lines. Ideal day out.
The lighting can definitely mess with you. It's a pretty short trail altogether, but you can loop it with some other things and make it a really good day.
Have not ridden this, but it looks on par with the difficulty of the South Tahoe area, tech sections and not so tech sections (this reminds me of trails up around Grouse Ridge). I feel the hardest stuff in South Tahoe involves connecting things into bigger rides like The Punisher. Also when friends from other areas that are much more techy come ride here even the hardest stuff on Toads is not hard at all for them, so its all a mater of perspective. I always feel like my riding gets a lot better the more areas I ride, so road trips are a great way to get more exposure to more challenging trails. Spend a month up in BC and your riding will go up a notch or two.
The stuff they have in BC is definitely next level.
I heard the TRT section after climbing Stanford rock TRL is tricky techy
I’m not sure which section that is. But the Taods climb is definitely tough from 89 or Armstrong Saddle.
Just curious do you work in the bike industry? Lovely video and music
No, I do IT. But I guess you could say I do work in the Bike Industry because of my channel.
I may have missed a bike upgrade, somewhere along the line, thought you had been riding a tall boy for a while now, but this does not look like that bike. What is the bike? Got a love the Santa Cruz!
I had a Tallboy. It was super fun and yes a 29er. But my Goto bike was the Bronson. I’m about to switch some things up though.
Rob- it shocks me you don’t yet own an e-bike 😆 Me and many of my buddies (who are core industry dudes) have converted. Our acoustic bikes rarely get touched anymore 🤷♂️
Maybe he doesn't want to be one of those people that rides ebikes where they aren't allowed. Which includes this trail and many of the other trails in Tahoe.
@@mushieslushie dude, we live in California and primarily ride CA/NV. Class 1 e-bikes are allowed basically everywhere in these parts. Even in the rare zones/trails where they’re technically not allowed, no one enforces it.
@@NevadaSmith2 Thanks for confirming you are one of those people.
To be honest I really like the feeling of accomplishing this stuff on my own energy. I’m not saying I won’t get one, but the really big days just feels different to me when it’s no motor involved. On the other hand, I look forward to getting one for those days we won’t have to coordinate 6 trucks for shuttle runs.
@@mushieslushie I actually haven’t ridden SLT on an e-bike now that I think of it (I rarely get down there these days), but I know some insanely fit SLT semi-pro locals who ride both acoustic + class 1 e-bikes on all those trails. As studies have shown, there is zero difference impact to the trails. As for myself, I almost exclusively ride a private local mtb ranch, local/neighborhood trails (where e-bikes are all allowed) and D-Ville (just because we have a new baby and can’t travel as often or as far these days).
H?MU next time you plan some S. Tahoe rides...
Sounds like a plan! 🙌
Im kind of shocked you haven't swapped to a Hightower or Mega tower. Especially being a "clyde"
I’m just not crazy about 29ers.
You're swinging your ding a ling😂. Sorry I can resist I'm hoping you think it's funny anyways that looks like a really fun trail
Not sure what ya mean, but I’m definitely the least likely guy to be offended. 😂🙌
@@B1KER just a seriously robust trail. Tahoe looks like it's a constant amount of effort
@@bullseye0112 There’s stuff up there that’s not as hard.
@@B1KER I love the rugged challenge keeping you from slipping into boring.
biggest mistake ever: allowing bikes on that trail!!
Sorry you feel that way...
At the end of the trail,how do you get back to the parking area/ start of the trail. You said you can do laps on it. Thank you for the awesome videos.
You pedal around Fallen Leaf Lake. There is one right hand turn you have to make but it’s super easy. I used Trailforks my first time. There are a few places I’ve parked, mostly depending on what else I’m riding. But there are a handful of spots at the bottom of the road that goes up Angora ridge.
Basically right near the start of the angora Ridge trail there are some places to park off the side of the road. After coming down the trail your ride around the lake on a paved road and it leads right back to where you parked. That road doesn't show on trail forks. Or like he said you can park at the top but that's paid parking and you will have to end the ride with the climb.
