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

It was in Boise. Seems like a solid area to live in. Not the most remote but coming from DC a lot of places will be the middle of nowhere haha

 

So awesome haha

 

Idaho is so awesome, but shits spread quite far apart. The upside of places like Utah, Colorado, and Washington are the accessibility of a variety of riding relatively close by.

Speaking of which; since Whole Enchilada is STILL RUNNING this late in the year, I’m going again. Sunday shuttle, pm me if interested.

**UPDATE: Booked a 8:00 shuttle with Porcupine Shuttles. Some seats left, but I wouldn't wait too long. They were booked out last weekend.

 

Fanny packs were ALWAYS cool!

For anybody wanting to watch rampage, it's live streaming on YouTube right now on the Red Bull Bike channel.

did you see the spectators just break the fence?!

 

all the sends!

 

These dudes are animals. Just the camera sitting at the start gate staring out across the valley is insane let alone going down that stuff.

 

Hell yeah man!

 

New cheapo setup in the topper. I already had the fork mounts, grabbed a 2x8 This morning and it worked great.

 

Current view. Ride before the big ride...

 

@paleh0rse Remembered a post you put up about bikepacking and I came across this today and thought it might be of interest to you https://gearjunkie.com/best-bikepacking-bags

I have a Dakine tailgate pad available if anyone is interested. Unused, just took out to test fit but decided to go another route. PM if interested. I can take pictures tomorrow.

 

Took the habit out for a little spin after work

 

taco first and mtb was very much a deliberate choice

 

Idaho sucks for any kind of biking.

 

Yup! Just keep driving thru the state and go to Utah, Washington or Oregon. Don’t stop to talk to anyone!

 

Epic day on Whole Enchilada. Perfect weather top to bottom. Ran into maybe 3 people.
Soul ride.

 

Anyone have any experience or know of someone with Magura's Cockpit Integration handlebars? Thoughts?

Picked up my first mtb in December 2018 (Stumpjumper ST 29 first post).

Once I put a few hundred miles in on my local trails and bike parks, learned some terminology like "dab" and "huck", picked the brains of more experienced riders, I started to notice some things I wanted to improve upon as my confidence increased and learned my riding style.

Here it goes:

Fork: Fox 34 Performance
Shock: Fox DPX2 Performance
Long Travel Horst-Link
Handlebars: S-Works DH Carbon
Seatpost: Fox Transfer
Wheels: Roval Traverse Carbon
Drivetrain: SRAM GX Eagle Cassette, Shifter, Derailleur & Chain
Brakes: Shimano XT
Rotors: Shimano Ice-Tech
Grips: RevGrips Race Series Medium
Pedals: Race Face Chester
Saddle: Specialized Power





Super happy with the progression of the bike and myself.

 

I got to ride around Sun Valley a few years ago. I cant remember the trail(s) off the top of my head, but yea, it was TOTALLY SHITTY.
