Can't think of a better DH day than this on the East coast. Even socialized with a Czech downhilling chick.
Are you calling her fat?

I'd softened the fork recently as she wasn't getting full travel. Looks like it might need tweaking.
I'm mentally downvoting this, because jealous.
Any snow up high?
Also, pfffht, whatever.
Or rollerblade...
And yes, he is on a rigid singlespeed.
He FLEW up the hill, but was hating the DH.
Priorities that I will never understand...
^ perhaps he feels a little ... overexposed? 
great ride in le pisgah. for those who know, yancey and yellowbuck. 3600' and 24 miles doesn't seem like a super big ride but i am whooped. 60* and sunny. maybe two weeks until full leaf surf season is in effect. buddy with a 29" ss hardtail joined me for yellowbuck. dude can fucking shred. some random pics.

meh
nice garKnee is still blowed up, so fuck bikes
Actually its a very small striped bass. Still fun on light tackle tho. More importantly, it was rad to be outside again. Awesome Pisgah Norf pics btw.
From past experience, being injured (while still able to walk) has lead to some very cool trail finds and whatnot. It's amazing some of the stuff you potentially zip right by on local trails...
i kid, i kid...buddies and i have a long running joke that every fish caught in an nc lake is a GARRRRRRRRRR
and yeah, heal up so we can finally shred some wilsons together!
Le rox on le trail. Not pictured: le poo, when my foot blew off my pedal while scrambling over/around a rock on top of moar rox.
You ride slow. I am slow. So nope.
Hey, our super local little scene made pinkbike!

Event Recap: One Hour of 5th Street by bemorestoked - Pinkbike
Every town has that vacant lot that the kids build jumps in. In Driggs, Idaho, that lot happens to be an overgrown frisbee golf course behind the skatepark on 5th Street. Generations of riders have ca
Send it naoI had a good laugh when we encountered this janky tree "feature" on the trail today.
The closing weekend at Snow Summit, only one chair operating and the main blue trail was already closed. 40-minute wait for the lift, and the jump trail was filled with beginners and punters, coming to dead stop right before drops and jumps (you can roll 99% of them). It was a major cluster.
I crashed when an idiot walking his bike tried to cross the trail in the landing area of a jump after I got airborne. Managed to land on my feet then tumbled on left hand/elbow on dirt. Felt good enough to keep riding afterwards, but this morning I woke up with swollen tricep tendon, dull pain, and limited range of motion. Ugh.
Also my recently-purchased MRP Sxg chain guide came with a tiny upper guide for some reason, unlike what you see on their website. The chain came off 3 times with the guide adjusted according to the online installation guide, which I actually read for a change. Rotated the whole guide counter-clockwise and lowered the upper guide trying to keep the chain on (which helped), but then this happened twice.
My chain length is correct, the B-screw is on tighter side, and the M9000 derailleur has a pretty stiff clutch. I never had an issue with my old E13 upper guide. I think the issue will be resolved by the long upper guide which Sxg is supposed to come with anyway. MRP will be hearing from my LBS or myself tomorrow.
On a positive note, I met a couple of nice people and I slept reasonably well on a hotel bed.

Moar rox, slabs and spines were ridden today. Much easier in the dry today compared to last weekend.
Perfect conditions.
The lady friend navigating an off camber rock slab.
This off camber climb was fun. Cant put in full pedal strokes in a few spots and if you slip off, it's a fairly significant hill to the left...
Probably the last of riding the rocks up north for the year though.

You're looking at Rock guardz. It has taken as much beating as my shins from baby head rocks kicked up by the front tire. That was $40 well-spent. The actual frame hasn't cracked yet.Never mind the chain... what cracked frame are you riding?
I am not saying you need a new chainring but ...
So chainrang?
