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

Dude...these dudes (and ladies) be fast AF!

 

Having a bike stand has helped a ton. This week I replaced a perpetually rubbing 180mm rear rotor with a straight 200mm. Removed cranks cleaned and regreased and creaking is gone, thank goodness, it’s a PF BB so I don’t have tools to remove. Tonight I took the fork out and cleaned the headset up as well and regreased. Maybe when I get back from Colorado or something I’ll work on cleaning and regressing the pivots on my Pivot. Oh and I dropped a tool and dinged my new stands leg.

 

thats so funny haha because i went into one house and they and two of these in the kitchen branching off of the center Island and initially was like WTF why is this in the kitchen. But then it kinda didnt seem like so bad of an idea and when you put it against the price of lumber right now it makes sense.

 

A new (first ever) pump track/skate park are nearing completion locally.



Pretty exciting times for sure. We don’t have destination style trail terrain by any stretch, but cycling in general has been really gaining traction in the area. The movement began pre-covid, but bikes and all things outdoors are certainly getting additional funding and attention.

 

How far is that from Blankets?

 

Little over an hour drive.

 

Soooo headed up to Nampa, ID this afternoon. Wasn't gunna bring my bike but..... found some extra room in the back of the truck

Anyone ridden Eagle bike park? Table rock or Wilson creek? Any recommendations?

E

 

SpaceWolf if you are into sketchy loose steeps... Mohawk fun jump line. Chee and chong's wild ride was fun... oh and Evolution.. and and haha that whole mountain is rad... I cant wait to go back...

Chuckanut on the other side of the highway was pretty cool too Climb to the top was brutal We did kinda of the scenic loop my Cousin is more of a XC guy... but double black diamond and double down are supposed to be pretty rad bunch of OG wood features.

 

So I just got my helmet in!

As hard as it is to believe, the helmet is EVER MOAR orange in person

 

I got one of their road helmets in orange....it is so bright haha. It didn't fit so I got a new bontrager but I do wish the POC had fit...

 

Taint update: another 12+ miles today and absolutely no pain at all, no pressure, no chafing, nada. Awesome. Riding is immensely more enjoyable.

tune in next time for another taint update.

 

I'm on the edge of my seat for these updates.

 

I feel like there was a pun opportunity that was missed...

 

I thought I was making the pun, did i miss another one?

I'm on the edge of my taint for these updates.

Is that the one?

 

me no good with words. i'll show myself out.

 

I knew that, that’s why I’m sharing.

 

Same. Hoping this year. With a baby on the way, and a new house, this might be the last opportunity for a minute.

Ah shit, I thought it was opening this summer

Long hair here too. Shoulder length, but I just let that shit fly in the wind Fabio style.

 

@ginseng27 @abacall you know how many times you gotta do a Rush loop to pull this off!?!

@paleh0rse even Strava declares this my kingdom

I do love that space, but it’s almost too clean/empty. I’ll have a lot more stuff. Got more tools/chests/etc so I’ll fill up the shop quick. Thankfully the house/car stuff can stay upstairs in the main garage so it should just be hobby stuff downstairs.
