Today we're riding Stripper Shoes.
No, not wearing Stripper Shoes, that's for every other Thursday and special occasions
only.
I said riding Stripper Shoes, but what the heck am I talking about?
Stripper Shoes is the last trail within Millers Pond that we have yet to check out.
As you might recall, Millers Pond serves up some of the narliest tech this side of the
Mississippi.
The red trail in particular has made grown men cry and brought countless bikes to their
rims.
But right after you get onto the red trail you have the option to cut over to Stripper
Shoes which is marked with yellow blazes.
So how does Stripper Shoes compare to the red loop?
Well, it's easier, but that isn't saying much when you are comparing it to one of the
hardest trails I've ever ridden.
Still, this trail is a great taste for new riders just wanting to dip their toes into
the legendary tech that is Millers Pond.
First!
Well when I see everybody else doing it.
I can't make any excuses
For our more experienced riders there are plenty of features, with optional go arounds,
to keep you entertained.
Oh yeah I did this one last time
I didn't do that one either
That one's a tough one
You don't have a ton of time to get ready for it
The thing that I find most enjoyable about Stripper Shoes is the balance between XC and
challenging rock features.
The red trail tends to beat you into submission with little to no breaks in the chunder.
Stripper Shoes spreads out the challenging bits giving you just enough time to recover
before throwing another climb or rock feature in your path.
Nice. Oh yeah that was picture perfect!
Once you reach the end of the trail, marked with double blazes on the tree, next to this
gigantic rock, you have the option to continue straight and complete the red loop or hook
right to do the first half of the red trail backwards.
We decided to make it hurt today and went on to complete the rest of the red loop.
But what did you think of Stripper Shoes?
Again the trail not the fashion accessory.
Let me know in the comments below.
Thank you so much for watching.
Now it's your turn, get out there and ride!
