Very Dry. Crowds? What crowds?
We ran into more than usual but nothing bad at all.

Are the trails dry enough to ride this morning?

 

Seriously though, which one of you dickheads got a bike for christmas?!

I'm a dickhead but didn't get a bike. I did get alot of socks and a set of brake pads right before the rain. Now I am wondering how they caused this. Happy Effing New Yr

Seems like RPR is gonna be busy tomorrow. I generally go there on NY day for some reason. Generally isn't too bad. Last yr for NY i rode SN instead. Maybe if I had kept tradition and rode RPR like normal this past year would have different

Should we change over this group to a dirt roadie thread? Asking since I can't ride right now has nothing to do with the above comments.

Jkjk i totally have gotten out of the desire to grind EVERY trail. When you go to parks across country or trail systems like they have in B ville it really makes you loose interest in the constant grind for minor pay offs.

Maybe you need to switch to a One Wheel? But I feel you man, Coming back to town from BVille seemed anti climatic for sure.

I agree. I've gotten a bit bored with a bunch of work for too little reward that 1/4 and DD come with, not to mention the potential for injury. SN is fun because you can maintain speed easier than on the other local trails around here. Don't get me wrong I still like to ride 1/4 and DD just not as much as I used to. Is Gandolf the line on the ridge near Katy lane?

Yes Sir it is. He is expanding it as well.  Also if you go down the main trail FROM Katy,, go left through the old cattle gate, you will run into the other new stuff at the end. Ive found it runs much faster and nicer that direction , seems alot less uphill that way

Satire? It was spot on.

You are not wrong there

That's a fun section of trail.  Hope that nobody has actually gone off cause that would suck.

Someone correct me but didnt Firstblood take a slide off that? Or was on Rim? Back in the day 

Is that the stuff about halfway up the side of the hill/cliff?

Yes. And creeping further down toward the retention pond. Although I dont know the name of the new stuff

Very Cool pic, Love it. The perspective is deceiving though. I'd fall down the rock face in your picture, in real life, not awesome.

I have these on my phone case:

https://www.thinoptics.com/headline-reading-glasses/pods/original-black-white-pods/readers-universal-pod

I need readers about once or twice a week, so having this on my phone relieves me from having to carry them around with me. Yeah, they look kinda funny but since I only have them on for a couple minutes it's cool. 

But I haven't been to a restaurant or grocery store since February and those were the prime reader necessity spots.

Dammit, clicked on that link and now everything is popping up ads for readers, who knew there was so many versions out there. Im blind as F but never had the need for readers on a trail.

Quite amusing satire

Does this imply you bring reading glasses with you on a ride?

I did see a few unstrapped helmets and reflectors and the obligatory dork discs

What did he end up with?

His folks bought him a Marin Rift Zone 2 from Bike Farm. Which by the way they had a great experience with them. The mom was impressed how they worked direct with her son and talked to him about what he wanted and how he rides. The kid is real stoked

How much did he sell that bike for?

He has not sold it yet. I just looked at Craigslist and it is still there.

Misread and thought you said "wants a handy"...

Thats a whole other thread bro-- Look for the bad guy at Walnut thread apparently

The money in his pocket was too hot because he bought himself something last night. 

You aren't wrong there.
I'll get the Facebook link for you and let me know how this works out for you.
I'm super happy I pushed her to tell me what idea she had to help me bike in inclement weather. And here I thought she was gonna get me a cool jacket.

I liked Zingers on Anderson Lane
They always had cool stuff.
Every Christmas we would find some cool junk for gifts.
Then they moved over by Central Market and never seemed to take off at that location. RIP.

The kid I posted up that bike for in the sale section wants a Med full squish.

His budget is $1500

I am trying to give him advise on this and be patient. So yea let me know please
