  4. Here's the complete ride report from Rich. Probably the best Spider testimonial I've seen to date, especially for somebody who earns their living mountain biking in Bentonville. He's a ripper too which makes the vid really entertaining to watch.

  8. Healing vibes to your wife. Open heart surgery sounds scary but having a scheduled procedure must be far better than being rushed into an operating room with a heart attack or something. Glad you guys are getting it all sorted out.

  10. It's also much more of an authentic experience if you bring your own whip.

  11. I saw one in Bentonville last week. I have to say that after blasting down some amazing trails and ending up at the bottom of a valley, with only one gear to get me back up, the thought of having a motor help me get back to the top was appealing. Of course, if I had a motor, would I have enjoyed the downhills as much? Probably, yes. Would I have got as good a workout? No way IMO. Would I have ridden more trail? Probably. However, it’s not always about riding more trail. To me it’s about enjoying the trail I’m riding more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  14. Found out my wife needs open heart surgery today. We knew it was a possibility. We're looking at March 6th or 9th for the procedure. More than likely I will have to miss the race. Can I gift my spot to someone else if I can't go? There are no refunds, and if I can't go I'll like to give that spot to someone here that wants to go.

  15. Lots of folks have been going out to the desert on President's Day weekend since the early race days in the 90s. People went the year after the marathon race ended and before Desertfest was born. The organizer of the Ultra Run they have every out there is trying to put something together. He was not able to get it permitted in time for this year. He hosted some group rides and a "hospitality barn" at Big Bend Resort and Adventures this year over the weekend. The website is bigbendbikefest.com. You can get on his email list to get updates. The trails are open year round, pick some dates and go.

  16. I mentioned the festival cancelation to the Richardson Bike shop folks at Hotter than Hell when the news had just come out. The guy I talked to was the Richardson Bike event coordinator and the cancellation was news to him. He thought I was joking. He did say that they would work to find other sponsors. Guess they didn't have any luck with that. Then someone else involved in the event mentioned that the other businesses in Terlingua weren't able (or capable) of planning\coordinating the event. Texas parks and wildlife released an article soon after the cancellation and expressed a desire to continue having the event. But they needed another sponsor to step up. I personally think that the Ghost Town vandalism that occurred on the last day of the event had something to do with the cancellation. That and the organizers had no way of controlling the number of folks who showed up. Was not aware that Peddler had something out there. I would have probably attended. I'd definitely be up for going next year if some other folks are going as well.

  17. Thanks! For this trip we may end up just using a soft roof-top cargo bag. We don’t anticipate using a roof rack much and the bag is a fraction of the cost. We used one when we drove to Haines, Alaska and it was adequate for our needs.

  18. There's a "I'm a Huge Pussy Line" to the right. What's the problem?

  19. Courage Adams. Up-rail to hard 540. (Most people learn to spin out if a grind by rotating away from the rail. Courage spins into the rail -"hard", which makes it clearing his rear tire over it 10x harder.) Wtf?
