Nice, working on trail is always fun! Here's a pic of a section that we put in last year (still in progress in the pic, it's nice hard pack now), it now has a 5ft drop off to the left that you can just send.

I couldn't hit a 5 footer on my bike though! My max on my bike was around 3 foot-4 foot and it still stripped the left crankarm.

Probably 220 since it like everything else I own is maybe 20 years old. Afaik, it doesn't have a number, but it IS ex-burning man salvage

I wasn’t calling mine an option lol. Just saying that’s what I have since everybody else was 😂.
I have done MTB a great while ago, but it is so flat here, and there aren't many places to MTB, so I stick 99.9999% to road now. If I turn left out of the hood it is country, right it's city. I would rather be putting miles on the bike than driving sowhere to ride. I live 6 miles from the Ohio to Erie Trail, so it doesn't take long to get real far out of dodge. Between the trainer, trails, and roads, I have > 1200 miles this year. Most on a well used High-Race Recumbent that I bought and rebuilt back in December. Currently have severe neck issues which prevent me from riding my standard Diamond frame bikes. I have a good variety of bikes, wheels, and gearing for whatever road I turn down.
I worked at Perferformance Bike when they went belly up, and helped a few independent stores in the area out after that. Currently building bikes at Dick's Sporting Goods, and co-lead several weekly group rides on the west side of Columbus.
My coolest century ever was done a few years ago at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was a joint Tour de Cure and World Bike Relief event. Here's a little snippet of video near the start of the ride. It is sped up x10, so it is as if we were running indycar speeds.
Cheers!

Yeah, you could still get a Trek 820 but it just isn't nearly as capable as the others and isn't built for serious mountain biking. A stumpy should be a pretty solid choice though.
