  1. Thanks for the nudge to try it out again John. Looking back, it has been 10 years since I have been. I had pretty much written it off. And thanks @AntonioGG for the Garmin file. I gave up trying to follow it exactly pretty quickly as the front area of the main trail system is such a spaghetti bowl cluster, it got frustrating real fast. I reverted to my normal routine on a complex system like that and just rode for the first hour or so taking whatever looked like the best option at the time. Once you eddy out of that area it it much easier to navigate. I left your course going on the screen and would hop back on eventually after I got off track, although I think I was going in the opposite direction some of of the time. It definitely looks like the bulk of the work is going into the jump line area, and while gaps are the last thing on my list, the berms and smaller jumps and tabletops are pretty awesome. Signage seems to be somewhat improved but still quite lacking if you aren't familiar, I hate the 'maps' painted on the pallets and basically ignored those. I ended up with 25 miles and pretty close to your route Antonio, but there is definitely trail not on your route or MTBproject and some stuff I know I missed. Will definitely move it into the rotation a bit, maybe more so when other stuff is wet. Oh, and I found the perfect sized table top for me: heh
  2. Any recent beta on the state of things out there? I have only been a couple times and it has been a few years so I may almost be starting from scratch. I usually get discouraged when reading recent reports and go somewhere else, but hoping the 'full time' trail builder is making good things happen.
  3. I was there the day before yesterday and as far as I could tell nothing has been lost yet but there is new construction immediately adjacent to some of the loops. I only took a couple (pretty lousy) pics but they capture some of the spirit. Glad to knock it off the bucket list after knowing about it for decades, but it isn't one of my favorite trail systems in the area.
  4. Day 2 in the open office. Probably 250 people in a 65k sf space. Maybe 50% masked when walking around. Maybe 10% at most masked at their desk. 2 people in the group next to me are about 8' away with no physical barrier. Neither wears a mask. I have managed to wear a mask all but about 20 minutes. I need computer glasses so they tend to fog a bit. I have been snacking outside at the truck. It appears our CEO is the only one forcing this, all the rest of the chain has some sense. It doesn't even make sense from a business risk perspective, much less talent acquisition and retention standpoint. Quite a few people have bailed already. Instead of 'collaborating' like they want us to, I have been avoiding all but my very favorite people. My productivity and morale are very low. Ugh.
  5. Was supposed to go back to the open office 7/26, I got a 2 week extension but they are moving full steam ahead and want to be back to 100% by late August. Since there are no orders or laws against it, everything the CDC, city, county, etc. are saying are 'just things for us to consider'. No real mask or distancing requirements. I pray our Exec's come to their senses.
  6. This kind of thing belongs anywhere and everywhere.
  7. Thanks. In the past I have just had it sent in through BSS. After reaching out to some shops it appears the Rockshock/Brain units need to go to Specialized but quite a few suspension shops work on the Fox/Brain unit, which is what I have.
  8. Anyone have any recommendations for a Specialized/Fox Brain rear shock service? AFAIK there are no local service options. A year or so ago 812 was planning to get the tools to do the service but that doesn't appear to be an option any time soon. I am considering sending it to Risse.
  9. Yeah, this place is awesome, easily worth 2 days. Good camping, showers and NF nearby for free dispersed camping.

    I just saw it for the first time today doing what I basically always do.
  11. Some higher power must hate us. ☹️
  12. Hang out, drink beer and educate any douches that show up and ride in the mud.
  13. I do like Grindstone Lake, haven't ridden the stuff closer to town.
  14. Unfortunately I think you have nailed it. Cloudcroft was the centerpiece of my first 3 trips to real mountains back in the mid to late 90's. Sadly, little has changed. Seems like it is still mainly the High Altitude Race Course and the Rim Trail and the latter is pretty moto/ATV'd out. Better chances in the Ruidoso area, but that is still far from top shelf. Sucks because this area has serious potential and is about as close as Bentonville but has a real mountain climate, bears, elk, etc.
  15. Summit County (Breckenridge/Frisco area).
  16. This section is called Pick Up Sticks.

(WFLA) — A Hummer burst into flames late Wednesday morning right after firefighters say the driver filled up several gas cans in Citrus County. Citrus County Fire Rescue crews were called to South Alabama Avenue near West Grover Cleveland Boulevard just before 11 a.m. Wednesday for the fire. When they got to the scene, they found a 2004 Hummer H2 on fire. According to a spokesperson for Citrus County Fire Rescue, the driver had just filled up gas cans at the Texaco Food Mart near the scene. Firefighters found four 5-gallon containers filled with gasoline in the back of the Hummer. Crews worked quickly and were able to put the fire out by 11:09 a.m. Firefighters say one person was injured but refused to be transported for treatment, against medical advice. They did not say what the injury was nor how severe. The Florida State Fire Marshal was called to the scene to investigate and will determine the official cause of the fire. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection was also notified and helped coordinate cleanup of the fuel spill. The fire comes as Tampa Bay officials urge people to not “panic buy” gasoline over fuel shortage concerns. Worry started to grow earlier this week when the Colonial Pipeline was forced to close due to a hack. Authorities say there’s no need for concern in Tampa Bay because Florida gets 90% of its gas supply from cargo ships.
