At 37, exact middle I'd be looking at 74. Given the paternal track record of age of death....that's aiming high.Aren't you kind of young for a mid-life crisis?
Wait... maybe not.

Whats the budget for the DH bike?
This might fit the description of park beater a little better.
i believe so
that's a better price than the one i posted.
i went by the region near where Fool lives.
those session 10s rode really well for the time. the suspension was good, although the stock manitou shocks had a tendency to blow. they were heavy even for then. and way short by modern standards
Waiting to see what Trestle will be for this year, $349 in 2021, $389 in 2022. I'm sensing $429 for 2023!
edit: $400 at Creek, so now I don't feel as bad.

i got mine early bird in the fall, $300.
I shipped a bike across the country and it was a fucking ton of money, so yeah, looking somewhat localish. JK, I am going to look into that YT and there is a Commencal Clash in NH I've had my eye on.
Probably at least another couple of months before they go on sale, I've purchased in June the last two years. Before covid I bought the mtbparkspass and made great use of that every summer. Then they vanished with 2020's monies...
Hah, isn't TMX selling her Silencer? I missed a chance to buy a Racelink years ago from a friend at a stupid price.
I was moderately joking posting that thing. Always thought it was a sweet bike back in the day. I think is geo would be about an XS frame in today’s standards.
Sounds like a bargain, compared to the park here that is $400.....................for a 200foot hill.
Not that I'm buying one, but Bromont is $450 this year. And they have 4 lifts going on the weekends and sooooooooo many trails.
Tech was just back here with all 4 shocks for the washing machine.
I had to explain what shipping bolts are, where they go and what they do.
He then proceeded to "fix" the washer by replacing the shocks and putting them in the "correct" mounting positions (there's 3 mounting positions for all 4 on the frame, apparently?)
Washer is now worse than before.
I don't know if I'm more or less annoyed in dealing with this shit still under warranty than dealing with it myself out of warranty.

Meh.
where is this....?....air bnb?Looks like we're going to be staying here on our Swiss holiday this spring/early summer:
i really should get a passport.
younger brother has a fuck this shit bag that he takes with him everywhere....passport and other shit to leave the country at a moments notice...
Trying to book flights for Yurp in a few months time and prices are 50% more than last year...
Present, hopped up on Dayquil and espresso, lets do this shit!
Looks a hair undercooked TBH.

A few minutes ago I swerved to avoid a wrong way driver on the interstate. Luckily was looking down road and could sense a disturbance. Was not expecting dude to be coming at me in my lane at 60mph. My kiddo doesn't understand why I am wigging out.
I hope bikes are included in the plans.Looks like we're going to be staying here on our Swiss holiday this spring/early summer:
That's Wengen, in the Jungfrau region. We'll be staying in a hotel somewhere in town.
Not sure - maybe. Gramma is taking the whole crew on this holiday, so bikes *may* not be in the cards. I *do* have one kid that likes riding bikes like a moran, though - so there's always hope.
he did. That would have been a nice park beater- strongwheels and coil springs. Hadn't ridden it in like 2 years. Time to go.
edit: on that note I am thinking about a second wheelset for the enderpo bike for park days. Yahoo carbon fork!
i always pack bike clothes, helmet, and shoes wherever I go. Just in case.
Just found out why the guy I just canned was such a raging asshole. He wanted to compete in bodybuilding so he has been shooting up steroids. Roid rage..it all makes sense. Not my problem anymore
hallo frends
back from socal on the redeye this morning. Benadryl zonked me pretty well for almost the entire flight, but sleeping upright is bullshit. those seats are so uncomfortable. Came home, hugged the kids, then napped for 2hr.

Stayed at the natur freundlich hause in Grindlwald with an awesome wiew of the Eiger and the JungfrauThat's Wengen, in the Jungfrau region. We'll be staying in a hotel somewhere in town.

Maybe there should just be retractable spikes on every off ramp.
Was up early to get some drywall and stair treads, then it was off to the doctor for kiddos checkup. And who says being an adult isn't barrels of fun?
where and when? Heading to the alps early July.Looks like we're going to be staying here on our Swiss holiday this spring/early summer:
Did a ride before work. Second run of the new bike. Still adjustments to be made. Still not sure how much sag to run. Modern geo bikes are fun!
