He/she was too busy "torquing down his thru bolt" to notice.

I bet you crushed your SATs, you creepy biatch.

I know things.

I've had great performance with DT Swiss RWS thru bolts. They never back out. Running them in Hope hubs (not that it matters).

I got your converted Unit right here, buddy!

I got your broken unit right here, buddy!

Fake news! Anyone notice that the bots invaded mojo about the same time as they invaded the elections? Coincidence????

3/4 ton SRW over here.

I used to be just as mesmerized/compulsive about taping hockey sticks. Then, I'd immediately go trash the wrap job with a flagrant tripping and then bemoan the wrap from the penalty box.

I"ve seen the same thing with herds of Californians moving here..... It seems like they're EVERYWHERE, except the roads AREN'T moving.....

As a person with an education......😋

I'm in a Fantasy DH league, so this would fit nicely. Work up the metrics and I'm in for the league.

Looks like we're up Shit Creek! Stop fishing, Yosmithy!

That's a Buckgnar Beatdown. He broke the shock linkage, rear chainstay, pedal spindle, and seatpost just by looking at it.

Turn around. Don't drown.

Another mojo thread needing revitalization.

Nice detective work and that makes sense with the trail names, but I'm unfamiliar with that particular sign and the "Back Basin." I know AF pretty well, which is why I was/am puzzled. I did recognize the area code, but didn't google the phone number. Headin' Home is a ski run and Highway is a bike trail. Plus, I know nothing about slow skiing.

Where is this? There are some clues, but I'm coming up blank.

Do you know how to tell the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer? The taste.

Hey, maybe you're not such a luddite after all!

Anyone that knows me knows that I'm not an endurance athlete. But, I have trained for some serious recreation at altitude. Elevation effects everyone differently and I've never had a single issue acclimating (no headaches). I do feel the thinner air, but it's cleaner air! Training in this thick, hot air will be great for altitude. I was able to summit the Grand Teton via the Exum Route in 2000. The hike up to base camp involved all of our camping and climbing gear. I was more concerned with hauling gear at altitude than the technical climbing. I "overburdened" my pack weight and hiked extensively to prepare. I knew my pack weight would be 60#, so I trained with 85# in Nashville, TN. Nashville is still lowlands and humid. My advice would be to "overburden" yourself (do more than the event goal) a little before the event. That will produce the confidence you need come race day and the "training" won't hurt either. Now, when I train for RIDING PARK! in the beautiful mountains of NM and CO, I usually just get the bike dialed for that type of riding and hone my bourbon selections. Third tip, obsess over gear and then don't use 75% of it on race day. I did that on a solo Monarch Crest ride in 2008. I carried enough crap to homestead a small village and cut new trail if needed. I had a virtual field hospital, weapons cache, and stadium lighting. I love gear, but when it comes down to race/event day(s), especially supported, go Navy SEAL and pack light. The T-40 will be well supported for emergencies. Just focus on mechanical fixes (+simplicity) and nutrition. You can gut out temps/weather if you're hydrated and not hungry. Dress appropriately, but don't fret on that. You can be miserable for a few hours if necessary. Don't forget to look around. You'll find your happy place in the gorgeous scenery of Telluride. One can suffer anywhere, but you have chosen one of the most beautiful places on Earth to do so. Remember the "suck" you put yourself through in Austin when it "sucks" in T-ride. That should be enough to pull you through. Last tip: keep us posted. You have a lot of support at home and here on AMTB.COM (aka bikemojo expats). You will crush it.

And the other time trialers. It was fun when we raced PB to look at our one lap time vs. Cat 3's and one lap. We would have been mid-pack for our age. The race officials didn't know where to put us for start staggers, so we went behind the Cat 3 15-18 females, I think. We passed quite a few of them, but gave good warning with a train horn/whistle. Were y'all able to pass anyone? That's got to be demoralizing to the one being passed. It is cool how much power 2 folks can generate. Too bad for all the deceleration involved. Once you have a head of steam, it's tough to scrub speed.

I wasn't able to attend. Did y'all have any other entrants in the tandem cat?

Half-bike ride?

Rules state that you can run as many bikes as you want. You must complete a single lap on the bike you started the lap with.
