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

That would be sick! Another option that looks awesome is guatemala, one of the shop owners down in Harrisonburg went down there this winter and the riding looks amazing

I've spent some time in Costa Rica, tons of great trail down there

 

What were you coming from? I'm still tempted to grab and aggressor to replace my DHRII for the summer.

 

It's shared rooms unless you wanna double the price, so its a possibility.

I'm gonna need several sets of brake pads.

 

That would be sick too! I’ve heard Costa Rica is nice

Holy shit that’s ridiculous in a good way haha

 

That actually seems like a hell of a deal for $900, even when you double that with airfare and bike shipping. I could potentially be in for a big trip like that.

 

Gonna need a kilo of ibuprofen for all the arm pump.

To put that in perspective, the Half Enchilada starting at the Jimmy Keen dropoff here in Moab savages a lot of out of towners and is far less descending than all but the "rest" day

 

Gotta love Mexico. This is the first big trip I'm totally down for on first sight.

Also, this is a great selling point:


"Shared room:

Most peoples lodging choice. Perfect for a group of friends. This type of lodging is located right inside of the Transierra Norte HQ located in downtown, with a 5-minute walk from the heart of the city. Equipped with 1 room with 4 twin size bunk beds, showers, an outdoor kitchen, unlimited craft beer, dining room, bike wash and workshop, and a chilling area with hammocks."

 

That’s so insane. I don’t think I’ve done a descent bigger than 1-2k ft tbh, I’d have to look up some of the trails I used to ride

 

Was just talking about a trip like this with @trekinit

Those are huge impossible days - is it shuttled?

 

Yeah, a few short transfer pedals. Youd have to be superhuman to survive climbing that

 

Seriously! Would need to put in a lot of work to get in shape for that trip.

I've done some weekends in Moab where we did Capt. Ahab, TWE, and then Klondike Bluffs and was a mess by the end.

 

I dont need much, a bunk bed is better than a lot of my accommodations on some of the trips I've taken.

 

No kidding. By day 3 it would be "Objective: Survive"

Same amount of descending in 6 riding days as I've done all year

 

Same, I've only done a little more so far in 2020.

 

This is the photo that makes me realize the marketing aspect. Do an 8K, 5K and 6K day, then go out on the town horsing around, etc. Most are a puddle back in the bricks.

What model? the Diety saddle i was looking at doesnt come in purple. However, it did come in a green and black that matches my frame perfectly.

 

That article/video was the first thing I looked at this morning. Those trails still looked untamed.

 

Well...I was coming from the Purgatory Ground Control that originally came on my bike in 2018. So it was time to change, but i literally felt i could climb anything the other day with the Aggressor.

Adding a dropper, and upgrading my fork & tires has given me a new found love for my bike, just when i was about pull the trigger on a new one.
