Eldest kid worked the Gwar show last evening - sent me some amusing pictures of the fallout.

you're never the same after your first gwar show

I've descended Burro with snow on it before (2008 mebbe??). But that was some foot out descending the whole way down the steepest part with the snow, then after onto lower Burro to Warner it was clear going the whole way down. They were only shuttling to Hazard and with the visible snow on the peaks I knew it would be an adventure.

Along the way by any chance did you see any old abandoned rental bikes, Nike t-shirts, or gold chains?

2.5" knobbies aren't the best choice for climbing from Moab to Geyser TH

ah, that reminds me to look again for Shredda availability. somehow I was only finding the (not needed by me) 27.5" size in the rear. but the 29 x 2.5" indeed exists. (and is out of stock, only the front in stock now.)

Perchance slip on a banana peel?

I can recommend riding TWE before there's been a foot of snow fall up top and using a shuttle company to get up there

Was bummed to not fit in Rockstacker/Jackson's on my Friday ride this trip (then outside of Moab riding, really annoyed my rear wheel was toast so I couldn't hit Moore/Mary's on the way home yesterday).

 

[jstuhlman]

day of catching up/following up post-exhibition opening and associated events. and, of course, putting out small fires for the next one on deck...le hrmf.

going in search of a good sammich for lunch. brb.

Mmmm... Moore...

 

[6thElement]

Mmmm... Moore...

S and I always park at the top by the start of Moore - I love the descents on that trail, then Mary's and finish back to the parking on Wrangler.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Time to throw some weight on my back and wander around in the woods for a few hours.

I hear it's cool to built in flex in the frame for more compliance

You're fine, bikes still need to be ridden to break.

y Claus no learn to focus

here's one of my chainstays looking like your bike

 

[canadmos]

I have to get the root beer coloured hubs, right?

Have had purple hubs for the last 6 years, time for a change I think.

 

[SkaredShtles]

My crabon bike has an alloy rear triangle.

But your point is a valid one.

to be fair Watz does ride a lot

albeit 90% on his nearly flat neighborhood loop trail as far as I can tell

If you're referring to last year then yeah... I did a fair number of 'hood loops. This year I've probably ridden less than @Adventurous. Although I've *still* ridden more than @stoney.

Sick burn.

Bikes were ridden. Weather is shifting. Taking my bike apart so I can build up something that fits.

 

[mandown]

they had never seen a raccoon in person before.

15 rides, 150 miles this year. Absolutely crushing it.

Most of you guys ride my yearly in a week.

 

[sunringlerider]

It was a can. And I’d say 68-73%

forgot to mention - roller coasters saturday were a very good time. kids love it, i love it. the racoon that was asleep in the roof of the loading pavilion for the one roller coaster loved it.

a pair of them somehow got in, the metal mesh was pulled out in one corner. they woke up after sundown, the ride operators were a little sketched. i get why, but my kids thought it was funny. they had never seen a raccoon in person before.

My mind is blown that there are people who haven't seen raccoons before

Kids these days just don't play around dumpsters anymore.

My kids are 9 and 7 and we don't have many in our part of the burbs.

Thats what you think!

I've only seen one or two racoons this year but I have seen 4 or 5 skunks.

 

[jstuhlman]

i saw three rabid racoons last spring. kids love rabid raccoons!!!

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Y’all should see the panic and ensuing chaos when section hikers see bears on the AT near their campsite or shelter for the first time.
