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

Pretty sure it's illegal to live 15 miles from Bellingham, WA and complain about your local riding.

 

OK OK
We have some fun gravelly logging roads that are a bit more open. A little scary to hit 1.5" loose road rock 12" deep at a decent speed, but who is complaining??

 

Do a rain dance when you get here. It will make the trails prime.

 

Getting ready to head to NC/Kanuga until Thursday.

Recent additions to the Tacoma wheels/tires and removed predator steps.

 

I'm back in the Southeast. The heat and humidity is so bad, I always have to park "Flip" style (in the shade).

 

Haven't been on here in 20 days but feels like ages ago lol. Guess buying a house really take up your time, I haven't even touched my bikes for two weeks!

 

I feel you. I’m never moving again. I’m finally getting back to bikes but only because I’m neglecting other responsibilities.

 

Our local trail has mostly been closed due to all the continuing rain. But got a ride in today.

 

Same here... Trying to prioritize getting some rides in though, keeps me sane and productive with the rest of the shit I "have" to do.

 

This is the way.

 

Ok duties done. Load bikes and out!

 

that fall i took about a month ago messed my bike up more than i thought.

went to crested butte a couple weeks ago, waited til i got there to throw some new pedals on. turns out i bent my left crank arm. oops. spent the day riding evolution since pedaling with bent cranks is no fun. rained the entire time.

took my bike to a shop on saturday. had to go from 170 gx to 175 nx because nothing else was in stock or able to order. ill be wrapping up my move here in a couple days and i can finally get back on the bike.

super excited to bash these cranks on all the rocks i can find

*edit. just found a shop in town with 1 170 gx non boost crank i can order. maybe ill get it here soon and have a spare 175 for a bike ill never build

 

and texting me 3 minutes before you're riding as if that's enough notice lol

 

Good stuff in Idaho. Adventure biking at its best. trailforks listed a huge elevation gain but it might've been wrong because it was definitely not as much as was listed. oh well. Decent uphill, with a fun descent.

 

When the wife says “yes” to riding. I move quickly so she doesn’t change her mind.

 

I close on our new house Friday so I'm swamped with chores/tasks to finish up and then I'll be swamped with even more in the new place.

it'll be a struggle to find ride time..

plus IT WONT STOP RAINING FOR MORE THAN ONE MOTHER EFFING DAY AND I AM SO TIRED OF IT

 

Where were you riding? Its been so rainy in Atlanta these last 2 or 3 weeks I haven't been able to get out and ride.

 

I was at Blankets Creek late afternoon after my flight got in. The trails were in excellent, velcro like condition!

 

We've been swampy up north too. Ah well. Makes it fun.



One more reason I don't get expensive stuff. I bomb puddles and just hose down afterwards.

 

Agreed. Rode there last Saturday. Aside from the heat it was prime.
