Why am I up this early? Wifey has a work event for the next 2 days, so I get the girls.

I'll probably attempt my first mtb ride with Hannah in the Burley. Haley ride the new bike yesterday and understood the gears pretty quickly.

Built the Nukeproof back up again and the rotor was folded damn near 45*. TSA inspected it and did a shitty job putting it all back in; the fork wasn't even clipped into place anymore. Post doesn't work and the shock is leaking, so I will take it down to the shop to deal with re-bleeding. I'll swap hoses to put the Saint onto the rear first though, because the XT wasn't keeping up with me.

Mornin!

Slept like a big ole heap of dung. MIL woke me up at 330 am cause the smoke detectors in the house were all yelling about a fire and she didn't know what to do. I unplugged them all as there was clearly no fire, but had a hard time getting back to sleep after that.

Cleaned out the camper yesterday in preparation to take it off the truck and sell it. Weird feeling leaving your home for the past 1.25 years.

Wind and rain...

Wind and rain...

perfect ingredients for total procrastination.

 

[rideit]

Supposed to be perfect today, gonna rip park laps at Jackson Hole followed by the TGR movie premiere. Should be fun, hope we keep the rubber sides down.

I have a bunch of old Shimano rotors if you can't salvage the bent one. Also can help you bleed, if you want to DIY.

gonna rip park laps at Jackson Hole

you guys have a good bike park up there?

 

[Full Trucker]

Ride number five out of five days on tap today. Going to the high country, might even take a picture or three. Got a shuttle driver lined up for a little jaunt from a mountain pass to a little town. Might get some shuttle laps of a hootin’ An’ hollerin’ type of trail after. Oh, and the shuttle driver is grilling steaks for us. Stoked.

@stoney what size rotor do you need? I might have a 160mm Avid rotor laying about. Oh wait, this is for your Nukeproof. Nevermind. For some reason I was thinking your kid’s bike needed the rotor.

Need to drink coffee, and to have a poop.

 

[jimmydean]

Morning Monkeys.

Up early as the wife works overtime today. So far she seems to be adjusting to the new gig. I will likely play some video games as I have not done much of that.

With any luck my bike should be 1x11 by next weekend, so I will be riding it.

I can only imagine how many dog farts have been bottled up in it over that period.

The high point of today will be going to Concourse for lunch. It’s going away and being reborn as another ChoLon, for those for whom this makes any sense at all. (Soup dumplings!)

 

[eric strt6]

Coffee, walk the dogs, go to work for an hour, then come home and get the camper ready to be our home for a week at the regional dressage championship. At least this year it's only a 90 minute drive for us. Next year it's 400 miles away.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Might have had 1 or 3 too many G&Ts last night.

Oof..........

 

[rideit]

Targhee and the Pass are infinitely better, but JH is good for a few hours. Very sculpted/manicured, it is only on the lower mountain.

 

[jonKranked]

Did a thing last night. Friday night feast. Before all this there were oysters.

 

[StiHacka]

Slow morning with head splitting hangover and spilled coffee. Weather looks sucky, might make a road trip to western Mass.

 

[jstuhlman]

slept in. coffee and waffles now. wife informed me that her plan was to make waffles for dinner every night this week. not gonna argue with that! hanging with the 9yo while she takes the older one to tkd. kind of want to ride. also kind of want to sit on my ass.

 

[Nick]

watching RedBull Hardline qualifying ... RB must have 3x the cameras on this one non-UCI track than they've had at any WV race all season.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Damn, Jon, those wings look awesome.

Speaking of awesome, I had 16 miles to run this morning and quit after 5 miles because running sucks. Will do tomorrow!

Those were the last of the 11 1/2 dozen wings I had prepped for the world cup last weekend

Hardline is one of their events. Can't remember if it's signature series or not. Whereas world cups the just have broadcast rights.

 

[eric strt6]

Took the dogs out for a 50 minute walk. They had a ball. Right now they are all in snooze mode

 

[jonKranked]

Took a power nap after lunch, now an espresso to super charge the afternoon.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Waiting on happy couples to come stick their fingers in something I made. Then perhaps a hike, a ride or stand on the corner and yell at cars.

 

[iRider]

Went to the pumptrack local to my parent's place. Some fast kids did time themselves because they want to beat the record that was set at a previous race. 19 secs or 19.2, they were not sure. They got gradually closer with 24.41 being the best. I had no intention of getting timed but they urged me to get a time as well. Was for sure not my best lap ever but ended up being 22.03. Damn, this old fart is still reasonably fast!

 

[4xBoy]

FTS.

Grocery shopping, made lunch, told to do more work, when I get my time to ride, it will be raining.

Bike park day.

 

[canadmos]

I'm the only person to have known of cutting their finger open during a game of pool.

Been watching a ton of thru hikers on YouTube. When they mention injuries it's sometimes little scrapes like that where they tripped and fell down. I have to laugh after nearly three decades of mountain biking and racing. The stuff that some of them whine about, most of us wouldn't even notice until a post ride shower.

 

[jstuhlman]

reminded of a time i went into a fancy grocery store on the way home from a ride...employee came chasing me down the aisle yelling "sir! sir! do you know you're bleeding?!?"

Back when I was living in Assville and commuting by bike everyday I hooked a trash can coming out of a convenience store parking lot. Went down on some extra rough pavement and ended up with road rash from the knee cap to the ankle. I had missed the cut off for dinner and was headed home to cook some Kung Pao. I was so fucking pissed off about missing dinner and crashing under 5 mph that I decided to prep some chicken while dripping blood before getting the shower. Adrenaline...

I had a piece of scab jerky that covered my entire front leg from the knee down. No one at Probikes even noticed. Plenty of weird looks from non riders though.

 

[6thElement]

First night in the new camper last night, down hovering at the freezing mark and I hadn't winterized the water systems yet. Hopefully no damage.
Then ended up working all day today.
Tomorrow I shall go utilize a ski lift to carry me repeatedly up the mountain so I can ride down, @Nick any interest in joining?

tons of interest.
also tons on bronchitis and lingering pneumonia.

I probably need another week before I'm back and not a walking contagion.

 

[eric strt6]

Too effing hot to be outside. Driving home from bevmo.

 

[StiHacka]

Visiting Thunder without a bike a weird. Mt Greylock was in clouds and rain and howling winds.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Got out on 2 wheels today.

 

[Adventurous]

Well, camper is off the truck, for sale ad will be up tomorrow. Its been quite a journey.

Lost 90% of my voice due to this cold, which is both frustrating, and amusing.

 

[stoney]

Older child was enough of a shithead today that I took away her books and made her sit and do nothing instead.

Bike shop couldn't fix my wheel because the spokes are seized and straight pull, and they couldn't break them to change tension. I sent a customer service email to DTSwiss to see their suggestion, also because the freehub falls off, so secondary issue. Who knows, might end up being a wheel level warranty issue (please). Shock is leaking, so RA email request off to Fox. And 3 bleeds the RS post still doesn't work- I need to go back to the shop for a warranty claim on that.

Trying to find armour for Haley, but nobody carries youth armour in stock. There is an online store with a flagship location downtown, so we're heading there tomorrow. If we can get stuff, we might go for a ride to Green Mtn or Table Mtn, assuming she isn't a shithead again tomorrow.

Hell of a day with both girls.
