Never rode at snowshoe but that terrain makes me a bit teary and nostalgic. So many green pointy angry rocks. Methinks tire pressure is going to be in short supply. It doesn't need to rain for those things to get slick as shit, dew from early morning practice and possibly early race runs could be interesting, and that includes any hardpacked clay.

I think the red dashes show where he forgot how to snowboard, and big X, well you know...Splat - total-yard sale, loss of pants, it was not pretty.

i'm leaving fairly early tomorrow, i anticipate arriving between 2-3. it'd be *nice* to try and squeeze in a ride before short track, but not a big priority. speaking of, anyone else planning on spectating short track?

I am curious what the riders think of it, IMO they did a fantastic job. Am I crazy for thinking this is the most rough track we have seen in a while? I have not been to MSA but I know those trails they are running this track down and it's pretty nonstop from mid mountain down?

Anyone bummed there isn't a 'Wild Zone' sign up?

terrapin beer garden ftw

 

[schwaaa31]

A lot of the racers aren’t too pumped on how flat it is. Any locals that have ridden any of it? Is it really that flat? That rock to rock jump looks insane.

I have been doing a lot of daydrinking research and have submitted a paper for publication. In short alternate between your favorite cheap hydrating sports beer (I prefer Rainier Beer), and a good quality high ABV beer of choice.

i mean they don't call it breakfast stout for nothing.

i'm trying to get my hands on this since they're not brewing it any more

still a seasonal release, no? saw some (stateside) last month.

back to bikes - those rock gappers are rad. curious to see who guinea pigs them first. looks like a neat track (apart from the flatness grumbling).

not seasonal, part of a rotating barrel aged series. founders has stated they have no plans to release it again

Founders CBS returns again in November for the last time for a while - Beer Street Journal

Founders CBS, aka Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout, will return to bottles and draft in the Barrel Aged Series on December 1st, 2017

Those are like $9 per bottle up here. Or were.

we should get a discount for cultural (mountie) appropriation. found in idaho a few weeks ago:

$25 bombers is a bit on the steep side for this guy tho.

i think one of my regular (vancouver) bottle shops still has some. should snap them up if they've killed this recipe. tasty stuff.
