    Things you hate other drivers doing!

    Wednesday morning driving to Logan. Red Jeep in front of me weaving, slamming on brakes for no reason. I'm staying way back but then I move up for a look. It is a female driver, who is using both the rear view mirror and the mirror on her visor to apply eye makeup with one hand while using the...

    cannondale prophet

    I tried that too. Put on a 160mm fork, chainguide and a 2.25 coil shock and to be honest it was pretty mediocre. Really it's an xc bike and it's OK for that. You can build it up and use it for DH but it's not going to feel like a bike designed for DH. Get rid of the QR in the rear too that'll...

    visiting the NE

    Coming from the west (NY) hit Highland in NH, then Attitash in NH, then cross into Maine on 302 and hit Sunday River. Can't think of a better trio of lift served riding. I'm pretty sure I'll be at S.R. over the 4th look for an old man and a young kid on Norcos..

    Fort Rock -- exeter , NH

    Many have taken a mid ride swim off the 2 bridges in the swamp. The one closest the power lines, with the berm in the middle of it, is loaded with leeches btw, so if you take a dunk and feel the chamois burning...well you get it...

    Helmet cam from last weekend

    Some nice stuff there! Are there any local shops where I could rent a decent FR bike? I just spent 2 weeks in Galway bored and craving a ride - next time I'd lke to head up that way...

    WTB 90's overbuilt dh frame

    :) You mean like this one? I'm still caught dead on it, poverty sucks. That said no way you get a 3" rear tire on these babies. I have the "DH" version that only takes a 24" rear wheel and a 2.4 is as large as I can go...

    Horrible Trail Etiquette

    The horse wa broadside across the trail on the other side of a blind corner. If he wa spooked and jumping around stopping there may not be safe either. Kind of a boring trail though...

    Sunday River

    I'll be taking my 12 yo son up this weekend to introduce him to the sport. He's on a trail friendly Soul Cycles Loki and is handling such stuff as Fort Rock pretty well. I haven't ridden SR at all - are there trails there that would make this a worthwhile trip for a kid that young? I'd like to...

    building a bike trail

    Formulate your goal for the trail first. Do you want it to be a fast trail with drops that catch you if you snooze? Slower, more technical trail? Flag out a proposed route, then hike everything 300' to either side of it to make sure there isn't some hidden terrain feature you'd otherwise miss...
