That's why I've been driving to Oakland for quick trail rides. It stays in the 80s out there!

I am le toast.
Big Bear Lake WV is a mix of stuff. Some soft dirt some rocky. It's pretty close to level around the lake no giant climbs no giants drops. A few beauty mountain views
For a second there I thought that sign read "collusion...".I like this bike.
You're supposed to write it on your notes with Sharpie and it's spelled COLUSION if you're a DT.
Great ride today, 85 and overcast with a good breeze. My usual XC river trail, there are many ways to loop - today I did 8.7 miles in 94 minutes. I choose today's route to maximise the number of short punchy climbs, I made all but 2 because hardtail. There is only 685 feet of gain but still a good workout close enough to ride everyday. I only passed one other rider on trails I rode, the strava riders seem to avoid the twisties.
So, when this zone burned, people thought it was the end of the world. Granted, they rebuilt it, but it's a cool place now.
2800 feet, two and a half hours...

I went and bought the debonair upgrade but haven’t installed it yet.
It kinda felt like cheating and I’ve not really even dialed it in yet.
I can’t believe I waited so long to get one.
First test ride was a success. Not my fastest Stravas, but smoothest by a mile. Apologies to @kazlx for the top cap replacement. Fork was threaded for a oneup EDC!
Me too, I've come to actually really enjoy mine. Better than the choppiness of that 2015ish Fox 36 Float....
Pikes are awesome until they need service.
But service is so easy
Halfway through today's ride on the Giggle Pig. I screwed around for 2 hours and generally had a good time. I was resting in the shade of cement block. It was in the mid 90s.
That the new trail in Lake Lure you were talking about ?
Thoughts on new seat post?
yup. it’s an imba wet dream machine built switchbackfest. the surroundings and the views were worth it...maybe once it beds and grows in it’ll be ok...but you still have to climb around 3000’ in the first 6 miles. a lot of it is also sidehill, which sketches me out going fast coming back down. i ran out of time before i could get to the end of the trail. i’d go back just to complete it, but probably not really otherwise. trail name is weed patch. it starts off of the buffalo creek trails loop.
it went up and down. didn’t bob or wiggle. trigger felt ok...but i never really had a problem with the reverb push button one...easy to install...we’ll see how it ages, but good so far
I looked it up, figured it'd be a bobsled run. But could be fun to ride once for the views as Pisgah gnar seldom gives up the goods in the summer.
You'll probably want to run 3 volume spacers on that fork
I’m having a hard time figuring it out. I have 2 spacers, running about 45-50psi, and 6 clicks in from open of LSC.
No harsh bottom out, but I find it’s a bit dive-y. I’m way over the front end more than I’m used to.
I’ve not installed the debonair yet. Soon.
