    As a fellow biker, you know its a sin to not be matchy-matchy.

    A little masking tape and a few sharpies.

    It's a bold choice for someone who trends towards DFL in the rankings.

    He had that Amazon knockoff automatic one I think. It was a trial run. But @SoCalTacoTruck might have had more than me. Im on #4 now. But i love it, and i get so many questions about it

    Minor wheeling - Gold Mountain Trail. Fairly easy just some big step down rocks (and step up). 4Lo most of the time to get the torque since 3.73

    Did you run it from the top to the bottom? I don't remember many drop offs when going up Gold

    Going down it is almost harder than going up, I did that once solo thinking it would be easy but trying to fight gravity going down some of those shelves is a challenge in itself.

    Rented a bike and rode Bear. Luckily didn't fall but there were a few pucker moments. I had a really hard time committing to turning hard right in the beginning but I got more confident as the day went on. Some of the jump trails were really fun but the technical parts were more amusing to me.

    Edit: Now I want a real mtn bike but can't justify it. I realized I enjoy going down, not up lol!

    Check My Sig.
    Very bummed we didn’t make it out this weekend. Ran into some truck prep issues and then ended up in Urgent Care for some stomach pains.

    We were supposed to head up the 395 into Mammoth but I would have been content with making it to Bear. :pout::rain:

    Try this haha! Hope you're feeling better. 395 N is hot right now - My buddies just got back from Lone Pine/Mammoth and said it was baking during the day but perfect at night. I'm going there next weekend if I can do some truck maintenance
