Locked is really just a term. Most shocks today don't fully lockout. It's really just an extra firm platform. They do that so you don't damage the shock if you were to forget to unlock it on downhill. You should be able to feel a difference between the two settings The locked should be much firmer.

Currently raining at my house. A mile north of brushy.

Every garage needs one of these

Yes every garage needs one of those. My wife won't let me keg my beer. She's probably right I'd never come out of the garage.

i have a red heeler, she is a great trail dog. She also barks at anyone coming to the house.

Even at 11 she still loves to run the trails and can mostly keep up. 

That's awesome! They're bad ass dogs.

Yeah, DD was really good 1/4 Notch had typical muddy spots. All in all trails are pretty good.  

Considering going out anyway. Bike is clean and begging to get dirty.

Any updates on Brushy conditions?

 

Was wondering the same.

I’m sure it’s no shock, but peddlers west has some standing water in some features. I only looked at the ones I could walk up to from the sports park. Sadly I do think there were riders that were actively riding. 

On a side note, good try to whoever put the trash can and logs up to block the entrance to peddlers east right at brushy creek park, guess some can’t take a hint. 

The trash can was probably Honey Badger. Under Parmer is a lake so I would imagine Peddler to be very wet. Saw a hiker coming out of Peddler under Parmer scraping mud off her feet. The gully next to the bridge by Rim entrance has about two inches of flowing water and the little waterfall along the H&B has a good amount of water flowing. These are some of the spots I use to judge what trail conditions are. If they're wet the trails are wet. The problem is with the temps cooler and a little bit of sunshine every idiot in the world is out at the H&B.

Yeah I love them too. That's how I wound up with this one even though I already have a dog. I have a Husky not a good trail dog due to the fur and the inability to listen. The Husky has the attention span of a gnat. Had my first heeler for almost 16 years broke my heart when she died. This one is pretty small for a heeler she's seven months old and weighs 21lbs. She might hit 25 at most. But she's smart and fast. Best house dog anyone can have super protective.

Just got back from gravel ride 20 miles. As usual people are riding wet trails. Didn't actually see anyone but could hear them from the hike and bike.

Rest day for me. Amazing how much more climbing you get in when it's cool enough to regularly ride Double Down. 

Nice!!!

It is inevitable that this purchase will result in more rain as Murphy is rarely found to be gracious by not rewarding such deeds.

But hey, you get a new ride!

I'll take the rain as long as we can someone else addicted😁. It's hard being an addict by yourself.

Saw this video and needed to share. Got a new ACD pup about five months ago hopefully some day she'll be a trail dog. She's fast as f*ck.

King Crimson is is one of Danny Carey's inspirations. Danny is Tool's drummer.

Rory Gallagher rocks too!

Although a huge fan of rock-and-roll in the sixties and seventies, I never really caught on with the heavy metal stuff that emerged later. I do believe however that it had its roots in some of the stuff I listened to back in the day, like ……

So I guess prog metal is out too?

Ok, cool thanks for the heads up.

That's an excellent choice for our trails here. Very capable solid bike. Seeing more Transitions on the trails lately. For what it's worth I prefer to stay away from the big box bike manufacturers. I think you get more bike at a better price from the smaller companies. I also prefer to not ride something everyone else is riding (kinda like girls).

Anybody have any info on conditions? I know it rained last night but it wasn't for long. Wondering if trails might be ok. 

Rained last night around 2:30. Not sure how much.

Gonna be really cool temperature wise.
