Gonna be really cool temperature wise.

I'm in, but was thinking 8:00.

Now we're talking!

Squirrel cage fan is the best choice for a quiet fan.

You should consider a Manitou Mcleod. No specific tune that I'm aware of. Simple straight forward shock that works very well especially for the price. Replaced the RP23 on my RIP9 with one it completely changed the way the bike felt. No more wallowing through the mid stroke. Set up is basically sag and rebound with four platforms from soft to almost locked also has a blow off if you forget to take it out of firmest setting. https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/manitou-mcleod-damper-front-shock-black-431819

Rode Picnic and 1/4 notch yesterday afternoon. Picnic was pretty sloppy in areas 1/4 notch is about the same as has been, wet just before any feature that requires momentum and traction to clear. I think the ground is so saturated that the sun we're getting is wicking the moisture from underneath. The places in the shade were there is little bit of dirt are extremely sticky, enough to feel your bike slow down although no mud sticking to tires. Hopefully we get a little more drying I don't particularly like the trails when they're just slippery enough to make most features dangerous.

Looks like the top of my tool box after I've been working on things. I'll clean and organize my tool box and within days it looks like that again. It's a phenomenon that happens in any working shop. Spent 25 years in body shops, any horizontal surface becomes a sh*t stacker. Including vehicles that stayed in one place too long.

I like this idea for the use of ebikes. https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2018/10/29/ups-rolls-out-e-bike-delivery-pilot-seattle#.W9mX9i-ZNTY

The trail is no joke when it's slick. Real easy to get hurt if you go out and ride it like it's dry.

No video needed the mental image is more than enough.

Kinda? Was it synced with Dark Side Of The Moon?

Probably need some type of saw. The log in the middle is pretty large. Also was not sure who built it, didn't know if was some new feature designed to increase the gnar factor.

We saw that yesterday also. Someone said that the big log in the center had fallen there and people started building off that. Not a practical feature due to the fact it is right at a switchback. Riding west to east it is right at the end of the turn not allowing enough momentum to get over it. Riding east to west you'd have too much speed coming off of it to safely make the switchback turn. Going west to east that particular switchback is hard enough without that monstrosity being there. First pic is looking going east second is west.

Cam McCaul's commentary is hard to listen to. He's even hard to watch with his focus and eyes darting all over the place. There's no need to sensationalize this event it's pretty self explanatory. The problem with the judging is that it's very subjective unless someone pulls off some crazy move. I think Lacondeguy might have won with that last run he had going, was definitely pulling out all the stops.

UCI needs to go away. Antiquated ideals and rules. It is just a money grab and always has been. UCI played a big part in the Armstrong scandal all for the sake of money. When Armstrong was at the peak of the Tour years UCI did nothing to investigate because they didn't want to kill the golden calf. When it all broke and people started coming forward after the money dried up the UCI couldn't ignore things and didn't care because there was really nothing to lose except accurate history of Tour de France winners. They can have their E-Bike races I'm not interested. If I want to see something like that I'll watch MotoX.

Semenuk is still a badass. I think he's coming for blood. Been away for a few years now. The new kids might be willing to take sketchier lines but Semenuk has experience, skills and most of all style. If Rogatkin were riding he'd be on my list in place of Sorge. Lacondeguy is another potential already has one Rampage win under his belt.

1) Semenuk 2) Sorge 3) Rheeder That's my pick.

I'm gonna hold you to that:)

Unfortunately I'm thinking more like Monday.

Has anyone seen Semenuks lily pad line? Pretty impressive.

I vote for Semenuk.

Not sure if I did that post correctly. Had to scan photos which turned them into PDF. Not always so computer literate. Hope you can view pics. Fixed it.

June 1986. Bikes resting against World Trade Center after 5 Boroughs Tour. Mine is the blue Schwinn High Sierra the Cannondale is my buddies.

Don't know what size you ride but this is a good deal if either of these sizes fits. https://www.jensonusa.com/Kona-Private-Jake-Bike-2017

Lake Travis was about 30ft from going over spillway yesterday. Four gates are open now.
