Draughthaus gets a keg of it every year. That’s the only place I’ve seen it.

Ironically, Lagunitas Sucks is very similar to Sumpin and really good as well. If you ever seen Lagunitas Waldo’s (triple ipa released on 4/20 each year) you should definitely try it. So good.

Reminds me of this video for triathlon swim starts.

Rode spider for the first time today. Holy shit that place is incredible. Did 12 runs with no line other than when the park opened.

Trick I’ve found is sight in between the trees on your approach and ride straight for it rather than trying any turning. Then focus on getting your wheel over the first small ledge and second ledge in one motion rather than individually.

With all the sun and wind today, I feel like quarter and DD may be good by 5. Thoughts?

Has anyone been out here on a Friday yet? Friend is coming down on the 20th and thinking I’d rather go at noon on a Friday rather than on Saturday morning. Is it pretty empty on Friday when they open?

I'm excited to ride it clockwise. I don't see it as being better bc I've only gone one way, but I'm sure my mind will be changed. Although I'm bummed I won't be riding down devil's staircase.

Thank you. It's even better than I remember. Kid had to have grabbed front brake on the way down no? Either that or his pedal caught since he rode with his pedals perpendicular to the ground. There isn't anything to catch your wheel on that I can remember.

I just spent about 30 mins trying to find the Jerry of the Day where the kid on a fully rigid walmart bike tries to take on Cru Jones. Couldn't find it anywhere, sadly.

Going forward this will be my treatment as well. Bought a Diamondback release 5c a year ago and have already had to bleed the brakes three times. Peddler's was cursing my brakes the last time I took it in.

I was finally getting good at the counter-clockwise direction. When was the last time it was changed?

No sir. My lack of conditioning after basically two months off prevented me from doing much of anything after riding Quarter.

Quarter notch was fine yesterday evening. Standing water in the usual low spots, but i left with no mud on my tires. Shockingly, there weren't any ruts from people riding the last few weeks. The lack of riding for the last 2 months prevented me from checking double down. My guess is all of deception will be rideable this afternoon. Looking like we're going to get a couple days or riding before the rain hits again.

I have a Santa Cruz Chameleon and love it. A bit pricey though.

Man. Fuck this rain.

The innuendo in this post is palpable.

Assumed it was a reference to the concrete that had to be redone over by Peddlers.

I see what you did there.

I always give a "whooop woop!" shout as I'm dropping in. Also look to the right and ahead to make sure no one is coming from double down or picnic before I drop in. It's pretty damned fun.

I don't know the name of this feature, but does anyone else take the up-and-over line in blue as opposed to trying to squeeze in between? Kind of fun if you haven't tried it. EDIT: clearly I didn't read the entire thread before posting this...

I always tell my wife she should be happy when she gets no more than 0.01 inch.

In death, members of Sustainable Texan have names.

Just want to make sure nobody has their day ruined tomorrow. There were signs at the park last week stating the park would be closed to mountain bikers. I believe they're having a moto-trials race out there.
