Sounds like she needs 2+ bikes

 

lol. I think I just didn't understand mountain bikes are like miatas and tacomas. lol. I thought road bike = miata and mtn bike = tacoma. lol. XC also makes me think more road bike and don't ride over a rock.

I am a whole hour more educated now. lol.

 

triple booked for meetings at noon, be for fuckin real wtf is this shit

 

Well... yeah.

Miata as a road bike is a better analogy, but you're getting the point now

Here's the XC MTB course from the summer's Olympics. They rode over plenty of rocks. Granted most non-pro riders would prefer a much "bigger" bike for that rock garden, but my point is that modern XC bikes can still get rowdy when paired with a skilled rider.

heck yah - the more I read/see the more the XC is aligning with me.

 

I ride a Specialized Epic Evo. The regular Epic is an XC race bike, the Epic Evo adds a bit of extra suspension travel to make it more of an XC-trail hybrid. It's great for me, as I don't have much desire to ride big features or burly descents.

Some people also like the idea of "underbiking'. It's essentially the same as "it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow". Trail features will, for better or worse, feel bigger on a small bike than on a big bike.

 

Dang it -- that's the exact bike I'm hung up on rn. lol.

Epic Evo 8 -- 2024 version is on sale.

I'm also loving the more affordable Chisel/Chisel Comp -- but like you said; the evo gets you that little extra from 120 to 130 on the travel...

 

Fuuuuuuu

You know, for the price though, those games definitely paid off for how much time we put in (vs how cheap they were)!

I recall Among Us being free







Those were fun as hell when we'd play with @0xDEADBEEF and @Abeyancer

 

You're a hot mess


Although I have my own issues, butt it's all stomach related. My 30's have hit different unfortunately.

 

cherished memeries

 

Chisel looks like a sweet bike, probably a lot of fun, but yeah--the geo is a bit more race-oriented than the Epic Evo.

 

Jimmy always got voted out for being SUS AF

 

lol yeah even though he was innocent like 9/10 times he got voted

 

Yeah im definitely over biked for what i ride and sometimes it loses alot of the fun. Other times im glad i have so much bike lol.
But i definitely think a 130-140mm trail bike can get you though just about anything while being efficient on the climbs and controllable on the decent. And you can go ride xc just fine.

 

Hey come on, for having one allergy at least it is something easily avoidable. Can't imagine how people with pollen allergies manage.

I'm about 15 days from sliding into my 30s. Hoping nothing massive changes, just gonna keep doing what I do and I've upped my amount of workout time as a preventative measure haha.

 

Wait until you start getting excited about air fryers or a new vacuum cleaner

 

My 30's started out ok, then it just went to shit (literally?) around 33. I have dropped close to 30lbs and paid more attention to what I eat, but my body revolts eating healthier stuff.

Anymore it's personal life = no more!

 

You act like I'm not already stoked about the central vac we installed in the shop.

 

Or annoyed when the grocery store re-organizes

 

Dude that's the freaking worst

Had the hardest time finding shit at Von's in Reno a week ago
