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

holy crap I'm going biking Saturday morning! first time since August 6th good grief!

 

Last time I got a big ride in was July 4, and got a quick after work lap in a few weeks ago, been slammed at work the last few months, and its hard to find the motivation. Don't feel too bad.

CX season is starting up and its gonna punish me for my crimes.

 

That's my supposition too. Corrects for constant wheelbase / effective head angle. OR it could interestingly increase wheelbase deep in the travel to gain stability for recovering from big hits.

 

Riding Dr. Park in a bit then need to decide if I’m going to Durango or Grand Junction for a day of riding before Moab. Any suggestions?

I could also use a shower if anyone has suggestions on that!

 

Both.

But in all seriousness, ride Lunch Loops in GJ, then hit Hot Tomato in Fruita for dinner, and head to 18Road up the street and take a party lap down PBR. Especially fun is PBR as a night rip!

If going to Durango: Durango Dough Works has breakfast burritos that are

 

Weather is amazing here today and this weekend so I am super excited to ride. Glad it’s finally cooling off

Dr. Park

Can an East Coast brother get some love for a 20mile 3100ft climb ride at 10k feet?

 

Attaboy!

 

incredible! you rode the whole thing? not shuttle to the top?

 

Maybe a NBD. Info incoming soon

 

Did the whole thang from bottom at Taylor River Road. Got some great footage I’ll put together when I’m back!

 

My investment.

Coming soon to Pinkbike!
Bike has 60 miles according to Strava.

All stock parts included, but he gave me a GX set up instead of NX.

Dude put a brand new XX1 chain on SX cranks, and an NX cassette lol.

 

Back in the saddle again!

 

I've been riding the slash, this bike was bought just for flipping and keeping GX AXS.

I've already started pulling parts off of it, I just haven't mounted the cable rear mech on it to post it for sale as a stock Hightower.

Put a massive 200mm PNW RAINIER Dropper on my 21' Yeti SB115 yesterday replacing my 150mm Fox Transition. Loving my setup!

 

Nice. I want an SB100 or SB115 very bad. I miss having a short travel ripper.

I’m surprised the tire doesn’t hit the seat at full squish.

 

Highly recommend one! I'm very surprised by how light the yeti feels and how well it climbs. That "switch infinity" makes the bike pedal awesome. It is very flickable feeling for sure.

 

Yeah, this place sucks, don't come here.

Looking at my Garmin numbers, you'd be hard pressed to find 13 miles with only 100 feet of elevation gain. You'll get at least 50 feet per mile on the easy stuff, 75 to 100 feet per mile is about the norm. New trails by my house is more than 100.

It's not Colorado or Utah, but it's not as flat as a lot of places.

 

It’s finally open!
