All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Anyone want these? $30 shipped. Brand new, wifey liked the Deity SupraCush’s better and I don’t blame her, those grips feel amazing.

 

Wife and I have decided that we're gonna do our road trip out to Oregon in a few weeks, despite the ongoing pandemic. We'll mostly be camping/keeping to ourselves and then staying at Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood for our Anniversary. So, question for the group...

Any suggestions for spots to stop and camp/bike along our route (SLC to Mt Hood)? We've never biked Sun Valley so we're planning on that. I also know of some trails in Oregon I wanna hit. Anything else in western Idaho or eastern Oregon that people love?

 

I love those Ergons and I'd buy them in a second if they weren't bright yellow!

 

Haha damn! all good though

 

I think I’d like to take those off your hands. Been curious how yellow would work on my bike, and I’ve also been smashing up my grips lol

 

Your bike would be sick with yellow grips!

 

I’ve kinda been thinking the same.

 

But with a bike that rad looking, you gotta send it bigger, faster, better! Tailwhip to manual off curbs, endo around corners!

 

I’m going to do my best to learn from these guys in NC this weekend to live up to having yellow grips hahaha

 

That's a good gang going, you'll pick up some stuff!

I'm pretty jelly I can't go for the second time.

 

You're gonna go blind

 

Fellas I think its new bike time for me, 2020 Transition Scout GX build.

 

Love it! If it's as good as my sentinel is, it's a blast. But that anvl saddle is torture.

 

Noted on the saddle. I have never changed a saddle on a bike I have purchased but I will keep that in mind if my nether regions are sore after riding it.

 

To simulate the gnar, you can go out on the trampoline in the back and...

nevermind, pretty sure that's an HOA violation.

 

Ketchum and Stanley both have epic riding!

 

Great advice. More bikes isn't always the answer.

This also applies to experiences, where N is adventure.

Have you considered an Europe trip? Honestly about the same price as Whistler, but I'd argue a ton more fun, and a lot more adventurous. I'd be happy to point you in the right direction too, lots of amazing rides, and more importantly adventures to be had.

Can I join?

Soooo many good spots to ride on the way. Wifey and I have made that drive a few times, and there are tons of amazing places along the way. Each time we went for 2-3 weeks, but wished we have at least another 2.
Assuming you're going through Bend, I'd suggest McCall ID. For sure get to Sun Valley, but also try and get Silver MT, and Tamarack. Also do not miss Teton Pass, and try and get Lithium and Jimmy's Mom up there, and if you have time Targhee's park is fun. In Montana, Big Sky is crazy beautiful, and a super fun place to ride. In E. Oregon I haven't found much to really ride other than in Bend itself, where there is endless fun to be had. They usually run shuttles too (not sure with the 'Rona) all the way up, and you can have a 20+ mile ride back into town. Super fun riding, though nothing too scary.

 

Anyone on here that’s 5’6 riding a 29er? I been curious as to how it would be.
