mojo is his playpen now and he has it all to himself. edit* he and the bots have it to themselves

Some things are still retail-ish priced. Thanks for heads up though as theyll start dropping all prices like pricepoint.com did if they are indeed going out of business.

Saw that too. Good riddance

That sucks man. ive heard thats somewhat common on some RF cranks.

The whole thing is just kinda sad.

Wife and i did a turn and burn to Chattanooga over thanksgiving last year and really enjoyed the trip. The trails were very well designed and maintained and offered a little something for everyone. Raccoon mountain recreational area was blast. Fast flow trails with berms, drops and all the good stuff to put a smile on your face. Theres also some fun trails to ride about 30-45 min away in Georgia, and if you're channeling your inner Seth, Winrock is about 2hrs away. Downtown Chattanooga was clean, quiet and surprisingly modern with lots of friendly people and good food & booze to go around. Liquor stores have a taproom and can pour! Lastly, if you can, stay in the Read House historic hotel as it been renovated and had many famous quests and apparently also has a haunted room. https://www.mtbproject.com/directory/8012838/raccoon-mountain PB pron https://www.pinkbike.com/video/468277/ What snaps i took:

This was a pretty good vid on Tucson MTB scene https://www.pinkbike.com/news/local-flavors-the-complete-guide-to-riding-in-tucson-az.html

PD State park for the win then. Theres lots of camping, hiking museum and wildlife and a stream down in there. Super cool place. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g55580-d109507-Reviews-Palo_Duro_Canyon_State_Park-Canyon_Texas.html Dont go during early NOV https://www.bikereg.com/39831

I can provide

Once you factor in the construction-traffic-rape between austin and dallas, fuel and food, its easily a 10hr drive. My last visit was may of last year so it (might) be better. Fall would be killer. Dont forget about outerbike https://www.outerbike.com/bentonville-2018/ The drive up 49 is nice though.

So where you going?

I got a pretty good deal at the best western in canyon. food is meh but we didnt look too hard. amarillo is super close though if you want good food

Weather was low 40s in AM and high 60s in mid oct of 2015. All in all its a cool place to ride and visit. Cadillac ranch, Big texan steakhouse & brewery and theres a fairly decent downtown in amarillo. They have torchys, and rudys so its not all bad. If you go to canyon, stop at palace coffee. Some of the best java ive had. Comanche was the closest to a SW/New Mexico trail id ridden in texas. IMHO, youre doing yourself a disservice if you dont set aside 3+ full days just for riding in bentonville. Rock garden

Wife and I have done day drives to big bend, Bentonville and Palo duro. For a 3 day, I'd do Palo duro. Not worth the drive to Bentonville for just one day. Big bend is cool if you're looking to get off the grid but I'd plan a couple days there too. Riding wise, Palo is just as, if not more serene than BB and the trails are WAY more fun. If you could push to 4 day, you can enjoy the flow trails and the newer more aggressive stuff like rock garden and comanche. https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/302693/rock-garden-trail https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/7004369/comanche-trail-mid Plenty of camping and lodging in area. It was mid October when we were there and weather was perfect. HTH- Marcus

See, the reason the repair has held up is because you didnt paint it........... Sorry, had to😁

Or you could continue to have lazy dipsh*ts riding e-bikes on overcrowded trails here in flatlandia. Nobody said it had to look like an ED commercial either 🙂

^ this I call BS on the proponents justifying these bikes as something the will give access to people with disabilities or advancing age. Every f@cking industry marketing video or ad has these e-bikes ridden by pro riders or young, athletic people. Not a older or injured person to be seen. Marketing knows that associating e-bikes with people who are perceived as weak or incapable makes them "uncool" and that is the kiss of death. Its a shame too because thats who could really benefit from them. Who their right mind is going to spend $5-6k on an "uncool" bike? Nobody, no matter how lazy they are. Rant/off

No offense but seriously, f@ck mojo

I would imagine carbon bars have come a long way in over a decade.
