Checked into Bromont, nobody here... This hotel room has a real fireplace and can still be used, if we call the front desk. Kind of shocking..

Parking lot test of the new brake pads and bleed is a little, um, worrisome...


Wondering what these two are up to...

In the cleavage of the Tetons
Ok, so, I got a nice little surprise today. The best shop here locally has two locations, one in Teton Valley, and one in Jackson. Fitzgerald’s if you know it. I was tight buddies with the previous owner, we built a bunch of trail together. He sold the shop in 11’, and I just assumed that I lost my employee pro form and wholesale pricing bro deal when he sold.
well, i bought the luftkappe from them because they had it. Turns out I am still a ‘tier 1/employee‘ price customer!
totally wasn’t expecting that, and I had no idea for 9 years.
they kept the designation for my trail building.
silly me.
nice little piece of news on top of signing my contract for my new job.
it has been a good day.
I am bringing both shops pizza and beer next week to re-cement the relationship.
(or maybe they will figure it out and cut me off!)

Is that a carbon v4 RFX? Who's is it and how do they like it?

Cambria appears to be liquidating all Turner frame inventory given the seemingly sketchy future of Turner (sadly), and given how much I love this 5.spot, I might have a hard time not getting one if the price really drops down the road.

Sold the Motorcycle, Trailer, Pizza Oven, Grills, Cement Mixer, Generator, and Welder today. Threw in the Scaffolds and a broken compressor. Found a Trash Pump in my storage area. Hoses and all. Not mine. The Uhaul guy insisted I take it. He was kind of a douche so I did. He loaded into my van along with His Uhaul dolly. I no longer have the credit card I put it on so he couldn't refund me... He ran me through the ringer to get my deposit back. He smelled like pee.
