Tired but can't sleep anymore. My work from home Friday has me at another meeting all day as part of the retiring guy mess. This will have me working Sunday.

New bike is new bike. Need to swap my Saint brakes tonight before tomorrow's ride.

'Morning, you bunch of nuts! Speaking of nuts, my groin felt fine during my 75 minute spin last night, which is encouraging news. I know you guys were all wondering about that. I blew off my swim this morning in order to secure nine hours of solid sleep. SCORE.

I pedaled in, on my belt-drive acoustic commuter bike. And--get this--I passed someone on a climb! Wasn't even a granny pushing a walker in the bike lane...

Where do you guys get the Ridemonkey branded stuff from????? The t-shirt deal fell through, or?

Work soon done for me.

 

[eric strt6]

I been bent over. Last run of the day is a 1500 pick up is in Antioch which is an hour drive from the previous one. Then we get to drive and hour further east into the delta for the drop off. I will be lucky if I get home by 1830

 

[Full Trucker]

Off to ride the Blue Mountain trail system near Missoula after breakfast. Then we gotta start heading back toward home by way of Helena.

Two weeks™

Opened up the whiskey I got as a parting gift when I quit my last job. A single malt by Polish distillers in Czech Republic. I had some hope thinking they may be some special whisky nerds and despite the origins they have a lot of knowledge. If whiskey from Bhutan, Taiwan or India can be good than why not from countries with strong spirit making traditions? Well I was wrong. It tastes like if you set fire to a garbage pile and then transferred it to an old, wet wooden crate. It's the most undrinkable alcohol I've tried in years.

I think the t-shirt deal is still on, just delayed as @jonKranked navigates the legal system post-car crash.

Second poop has already taken place and I haven't even finished my first coffee yet. Que?

Long weekend over round these parts. Headed up north for MOAR rox riding, MOAR beer and MOAR lake swimming/floating.

Today is great. Somehow managed to get our weekly team meeting moved from end of the day (who the fuck schedules that for end of day on Fridays....dick managers...) to before lunch. Woot.

People are just clueless and some people in corporations just spend all their days in meetings pretending to work. Hell the bigger the company the more meetings you get so people get stupid ideas like this.

Any of you guys still riding a Marzocchi Bomber of any model?

In my experience, this is what *ALL* whisk(e)y tastes like.

Mornin!

As is befitting for our departure from CO, the weatherman said we might encounter severe t-storms with 70 mph winds and golf ball sized hail rolling through the northeastern part of the state. Big time nope, so I punched it and outraced the cells that were racing towards us. CO hail has done the last of its damage to my vehicle.

Today, it's off to Iowa.

Good god man, why?
Life's too short to ride 20 yr old suspension.

Shit, I guess that explains it. We have 170000 employees, lots of meetings to be had.

your groin is of my utmost concern. Happy to hear it's doing well

He's got his wife's dancing horse to pay for. Priorities, man.

I found my old Bomber hoodie from back in the day and thought I'd see if any Bomber-riders wanted it before throwing it on pinkbike buy&sell.

But, it's always like 172* F in Eric's part of sunny CA so ...

Eric, if you want a Marzocchi hoody PM me a mailing address.

 

[Westy]

59 mph winds and 4 foot swells made last night a little interesting.

I have a 12 y/o Z1 that I got from @jonKranked

Straight steerer? Functional fork? What's the travel? Are you just storing it... or is it on something?

Asking for a friend...

 

[jimmydean]

FTS Friday. Not even 2 yet and I am ready to go. Will likely duck out at 2:10ish. The wife has packed the rig and has changed her mind where we are going at least 3 times already.

 

[Heidi]

Thanks to @Nick suggestion, we rode Cub Creek to Elk something and a loop at Staunton and the back. Whoa, Cub is the real deal.

@Nick was that the ride I sent you the link for that my wife and I did a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Full Trucker]

Can we not talk about Cub Creek? Oh, wait.

Also, yes this beer label has Teddy Roosevelt dressed like Evel Kneivel, wielding a sword while riding in the bed of a bear-piloted twin turbo powered El Camino named the “Montana Missile.”

I guess I know what I’m drinking tonight.

I’ve got a 98ish z1 and a shiva sc still.
Shivers on one of the kids bikes, z1 attached to an old Kelly s&s coupling frame.

Rafters are up.

It's on the HT.

Yes and no. I didn't share the gpx, just the general idea after I did ther short version. Sounds like they explored.

Switching out the brakes on the new bike to my Saint's from the XT's. Turns out the shifter is mounted under the brake lever and isn't compatible with my older levers. I've swapped out everything and was just putting the lever on. Time to undo the last 20min and run the XT rear. FTS.

Still need to set up the tubeless so they are ready for tomorrow.
