With bike thefts the way they are, I can't blame them. I'd rather go in the woods than have my bike stolen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a big problem for the person cleaning the bathrooms if people were bringing in muddy bikes. Old thread on mtbr: Enough With Sleeping In Toilets Already! It's Silly and Gross! Responses ranged from, "Hell to the no, I'd die of exposure before doing that" to "Hey, dry and clean, great night's sleep" and everything in between.

Not sure why this is a problem, but I take my bike into park bathrooms with me all the time. seriously, I'm not leaving it sitting there where someone can grab it unless I have a posse with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hell yeah. Dale Ball is amazing! ...just steer clear of the south side, Picacho Peak trails unless you're in the mood for a real technical-climb beat down. This...over and over and over. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurronnicane Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Nice ride at Pedernales Falls today. I recently got a new waist hydration pack that doesn’t have room for a pump, so my pump was in my wife’s pack and she wasn’t with me. My back tire was at 8 psi at the beginning of the ride and I just told myself I would be careful and borrow someone’s pump if I ran into another rider. I only encountered one rider and he didn’t have a pump either. The ride was 14 miles long and included some of the Juniper Ridge trail and my low tire did just fine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Did the Enduro climb up Mont Sainte Anne. Pretty tired but the fall scenery was amazing. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, there's way more pedal options than DH. The XC is no joke here. Gravity is way more fun though😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATXZJ Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Le Massif de Charlevoix DH park. Mighty St. Lawrence River in the background. Views are surreal here. Blue flow trails are next level fun and a great place to learn how to rail berms and hit jumps for beginners and intermediate riders alike. Double black is a death wish trail at the moment and had me puckered more than once. Most of the single black trails required pedaling so I took a pass on those😁.

They measured more like 3.1s than 3.0s and caused for some disruption in the frame. Back on Ikon 2.8s, which I can't complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Bernardo Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Bummer, Man. My Ritchey max's out at 2.6. Tweaking the air pressure a little, these will handle everything here comfortably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some years back you had a pretty nasty crash out there where you landed on your neck, correct? Did you recover pretty well from that? Do you feel nervous at all riding that track where it happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no lingering physical effects from that. I am certainly more wary, and less comfortable riding next to drop offs. When I approach any of those pour offs/dry waterfalls I swing wide away from the edge. And I like to think I am generally more careful. Also, as I get older I try to be more deliberate and intentional about the amount of risk I take. That seems to be the ongoing search for balance for me: I want/need challenges, but I need to make it home in one piece; I crave a certain amount of exhilaration but don’t want to let it rule me. The short answer though is I do in fact feel nervous riding the trail where I fell. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember your post about the crash and I have to admit it crosses my mind also when I ride out there on the more exposed sections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Got to check another big box on our QC MTB trip. Did the 1.5hr drive an drug the wife up and back down La Legende in Vallée Bras-du-Nord bike park. It's basically their reveille peak ranch where you pay a fee and ride up to a series of downhill trails and also has some multi use stuff as well. The waterfall line was worth the grind up the hill. Next level fun and great way to close out the riding season. (bike pron) Edited October 3, 2022 by ATXZJ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Spent 2 weeks traveling through CO and UT riding my bike and staying in my truck. Most of the trip is captured on my Strava, but figured I'd drop some highlight photos here to contribute to this awesome thread.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tip Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I didn't click the like button on the last one. It makes me too nervous! When you say "staying in my truck," what does that mean? Looking at the picture of the opened back it looks like the truck bed is full of stuff. Where/how did you sleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
