    ^^^ sky time saturday ^^^

    MTN Chandler, near Gallant same mountain as Horse pens 40. Methodist owned land from their chapel and cross up top down hillcrest trail to camp sumatanga. Proactive trailwork has yielded curiosity for dh shenanagins on their hiking trail instead of any angst. Local riders except me never...

    67°(19°) and tacky goodness in Alabama. Sadly.. Alabama, but the trail is a hoot and "winter" is mild.

    I hear you. I have no interest beyond a passing one as I know the Director of Material at Arris and they definetely have robust engineering standards that surpass the bike industry in general, and a proven track record. I personally avoid carbon like the plague, but the nerd in me would love to...

    DH frame selection

    My jest hit target it would appear. I agree with you that crashing can break things, catastrophically even. I prioritize durability and would never purchase a DH bike that can't survive getting thrown thru the woods while I lawn dart in style. So I think we agree, I blame the rider as well...

    Routine Morning DH was primo. Fairly certain a murder of 5~6 crows were harrassing a woodpecker on my hike up. Best description is a scrappy xwing evading tie fighters through the trees. Sadly routine is no longer with my 15 year old daughter arriving on Monday. My daughter I haven't seen for...

    &&&&& Day whatever walk in the whatever Thursday GMT &&&&&

    Pre work DH ftw. 1.5hrs of prep for 4min of delicious DH. Tree frogs, but no box turtles today. Pesky trees and my poor turning could have been much worse, (760mm too wide?). Rowdy run nonetheless.
