  1. According to the Cleveland clinic, you CAN contract both the coronovirus and the Flu. https://www.cleveland.com/coronavirus/2020/03/is-it-possible-to-catch-the-flu-and-coronavirus-at-the-same-time.html?outputType=amp
  2. I have two large full suspension bikes I to sell or trade (for small full suspension bike in equal quality) 2008 Specialized Enduro with 1x9 drivetrain and like new 150mm RockShox sektor fork, Maxxis minion tubeless tires and 150mm Giant dropper seatpost. Ready to ride. 2013 Knolly Endorphin Large 26” with 140mm front and rear with RockShox Recon fork, Fox dropper (like new) and 1x10 drivetrain. Also ready to ride. Both bikes in really good condition.
  3. Forgot to mention, I would be willing to trade. I have two other 26” large full suspension bikes I would be willing to sell or trade. 2008 Specialized Enduro with 1x9 drivetrains and like new 150mm RockShox sektor fork, Maxxis minion tubeless tires and dropper seatpost. Ready to ride. 2013 Knolly Endorphin Large 26” with 140mm RockShox Recon fork, Fox dropper and 1x10 drivetrain. Also ready to ride. Both bikes in really good condition.
  4. I’m looking to buy a small full suspension bike In good shape for my wife. The hard tail is too rough on her now. I’d like to keep it under $1,200.
  5. I was surprised at how well the whole trail flowed in reverse. I thought it was a nice change. This was my first time to compete or even attend a MTB race so I don’t have anything for comparison, but I thought the whole event was well run and I really appreciate all the hard work you all put into this. my only suggestion would be to post Hard copies of estimated race starting times for each class. I didn’t find those until I followed Endurarace on FB (after the race). Thanks again for all the hard work.
  6. Any chance this race DOESN’T get postponed now? Rained Sunday, yesterday, today and more tomorrow. Not much sun in the forecast. When would be the next race date?
  7. Does the race get postponed if it rains beforehand?
  8. I couldn’t tell you how much, but everything is very saturated and not rideable.
  9. Any word on trail conditions at Emma long (city park)?
  10. Yes, RPR is great. This would also be a good time to ride Spider Mountain. They are open Veterans Day and offering huge discounts to veterans. I went yesterday and had an absolute blast.
  11. I’ve only had to use bacon strips twice. Both times, had trouble with it completely stopping the leak, even with sealant. A little hack that I discovered actually works.... Attach two zip ties end to end and loop around the tire and rim, cinching it down tightly over the bacon plug so it works like a field dress for a battle field bullet wound. It applies pressure to the “wound” preventing air and sealant from leaking out. Of course, you’ll need to cut the excess zip tie or it will slap the frame every rotation of the wheel. Not pretty, but it worked for me and one other rider I encountered at RPR one time.
  12. 1x anything is better than 2x or 3x IMO, but I ride trails almost exclusively and don’t need the wide range of high gears I ride a Giant Trance with a 1x12, which is cool and all, but I recently installed an OVAL ring in the front. That shit is a game changer! I was hesitant to spend the $65 on that one little ring because of mixed reviews, but it has absolutely helped me power through technical chunky climbs on Deception I was never able to clear before. Even though this is slightly off topic (sorry), I highly recommend an oval chain ring for anyone looking to improve peddling efficiency.
  13. Creative idea for Mother’s Day outing. 😉
  14. I rode PP and a few other trails east of the dam today (sorry don’t know their names). Mostly everything is in great shape for riding. There are a few spots still a little sloppy you’ll need to avoid. The work from the trail crew is paying off. PP is more fun with every ride (and faster). Thanks to all who participated.
  15. I’ll be there. Already sent RSVP. I live very close so let me know if I should bring tools. I have a wheelbarrow, a gorilla wagon, shovels, rakes, a pick and a really heavy tamping bar if rock breaking is required (hopefully tamping bar not needed, I wasn’t planning on working quite that hard).
  16. DD and picnic are in great shape. Low spots at mulligan we’re wet. Overall great day for a ride.
