Im with you 100 on this.

I’m pretty sure at this point that dude can ride whatever he wants.

I watch Jared Graves on an ebike and I think, who am i to judge……. Cheers, Shaner

Is this something you may be interested in?

There are times when I accumulate some wood pieces that are commonly 4”x4” or 4” x 6” in mostly 4’ish lengths. Mostly hardwoods, some are KD and some are green. Is this type of material useable in trail building? PM me if you are interested in using for trail building. Cheers, Shaner

Faith in humanity restored. Well done Valerie Robinson, where ever you are!

Originally purchased to chase my son around on his BMX bike, but he has moved almost exclusively to the mountain bike so the Absolute is almost brand new and is just sitting. Well spec’ed DJ’s are hard to come by so I wanted to offer it here first before offering other places. Bike comes with Diety Highside 80mm rise bars & OneUp composite pedals. Asking $1750 Asking $1750.00

This Curt Goodrich “All-Arounder” never got the love it deserved. Just put the finishing touches on the city/gravel conversion. It rides wonderfully. The “Curt” will be the dedicated bike to ride the neighborhood & gravel paths w/ wifey. Really excited to ride this bike more! Cheers, Shaner

Trestle & Boulder Creek respectively.

Not sure this is the case. Hardwood mills that usually cut Poplar in the South are now cutting pine because they can turn it faster. Now that the pine has dropped 40% off it’s peak in mid-May, will the mills in the South continue to cut pine? My bet is no, even if you can cut and dry pine faster why would you dry lumber under $1000m when you can dry lumber @ 2000m +? You wouldn’t, so if current trends continue pine should plateau around 2-3x what it was 12 months ago (educated guess, softwoods are not my specialty). 2 Things really driving this (not Covid): We (the US) build historically less single family homes in ratio to population growth for 15+ years. Under building housing for 15 years will eventually lead to a supply issue. Next, the Fed is fueling this with low interest rates (for now). Most folks buy a payment not the purchase price of a house. All of this is a national perspective. Lots of things at play regionally on supply; log availability, labor availability (BIG ONE), trucking cost & availability, etc. Austin has it’s own forces at work, but this what I see from a national perspective.

As anyone asked The Trail Foundation to see if they have any swing with the COA?

That is on our list!

We will be staying in Boulder for a while this Summer and will be taking the bikes up there. Hoping to get by both Commencal & Yeti in Golden. We are hoping to mix 3-4 rides around family activities, will be able to ride from our lodge to several trailheads I think.

He’s a great kid. I cherish the days I get to ride with him. It won’t last forever, but this is a unique time when we both love riding. Over a span of 2 years it is much cheaper than almost any club sport (or at least that is the rationale I’m going with). Fingers crossed for a run at Spider on Sunday!
