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

Yeah we don't have a ton of breweries outside of Asheville/Charlotte. Even Raleigh doesn't have a ton (per capita). But Asheville is the highest concentration on the East Coast.

 

My trail dog's name is Ballard (Rescue named him though).

 

I've got a ton of family in WA and OR, I need to get up there again. Spent summers there as a kid but havn't been in 15 years.

 

That's a dog! Beautiful!

 

Ballard is a good time! We take the ferry from our town to Seattle then Uber up to Ballard. Brewery hop then crawl our way home! haha

 

Bainbridge or Bremerton?

 

im meeting my aunt out in bryce canyon in a few weeks. they have this whole trip planned from santa fe to durango to utah national parks and have rv spots booked the whole way. im not sure if theyre taking their 2nd gen taco or trd rav4. but they got me a rv spot next to them when i meet then at bryce canyon. im gonna feel like an idiot pulling up with my rtt and setting up shop next to all these giant rvs. lol

 

Used to live in Poulsbo...where are you?

 

Im doing a similar thing in Oct because my parents insisted on renting a 30some footer. It's gonna be silly AF.

 

Yep, like the long travel 29er e-bike of the beer brewing world

DUDE! We don't!

There's a few national parks up in VT I know that are sort of the same thing, first come first serve dispersed free, but there's not a lot. Going out west was freakin' cool, I camped out just north of Joshua Tree on some flats for the night with a bunch of other random cars and campers and shit. Basically the whole way west from Amarillo out to LA and back into TX was like that.

 

I'm in Bremerton. Poulsbo is the town I was talking about though for a while they had 5 breweries with 8000 people which completely blows the well known "most breweries per capita" cities out of the water. Portland (Maine), Asheville, and Bend have 1.8, 1.7, 1.6 breweries per 5,000 people respectively. Poulsbo had 3.1! Now I think they just have 4 with 10,000 people so down to a mere 2 per 5,000.

 

@Bannerman and @mtskibum16 I picked these up today. @Bannerman If you some guy in a blue packraft crushing an IPA thats me! Not exactly fishing yak's but portable to open some other fishing opportunities up.

 

Dingies... hahaha

 

Gosh, if you are going to burn me you have to spell it right! Dinghies

 

Honestly wasn’t an intentional burn. I find them quite practical. Haven’t seen one for ages. Kinda caught me off guard.

Yea. No excuse for the misspelling aside from ignorance

 

I'm not sure a lot of folks out West realize that they can find an established camp site on BLM land and stay there. Just, please dont burn a fire unless it's rained recently (which it doesn't).

 

Oh yeah I was boondocking it on a road trip I pulled up to camp most nights around 9 or 10 it was just to park and crash for the night.

 

A couple of times a year, I tear apart the linkage and pivot on my Evils to get rid of some creaking. This time, it looks like I have a crack on the lower shock mount and off the main pivot. It may just be paint but the finger nail definitely detects a crack. I'm just gonna ride it until it completely fails (it's 5 years old and out of warranty anyway). Keep checking those carbon frames kids!
