How is Yanceys these days?

running good! the upper part is getting some work done and the very last part (after the rock face) is getting a full reroute which, by the looks of it, will be super fun.

in a year or two they're going to put in a trail (Mark's Mtn) from near the top of the Roseboro climb to near the beginning of Yancey so you'll be able to skip the descent of Roseboro and the crappy mountains-to sea bit connecting roseboro to the start of yancey.

need to get the triangle crew up for a wilsons day SOON!

[OGRipper]

When the trails are soaked and I've only got a short window to ride, out comes this contraption.

 

[dump]

Warm today by the numbers, yet somehow didn’t feel as warm as I’d hoped Still nice to get out. Bike felt solid and familiar. Loved that.

and looks like my thomson stem is done! Well, it was a good 10 year run... and wasn't catastrophic. Wonder when it broke.

If it is gonna break, that is the best you can hope for - no high adrenaline moment followed by a dirt nap.

Big ass storm rolled through and left these magical views behind.

The winter only trail here has just about returned to nature for the season.

Nice!
What trails have you desecrated today, Mr. Orange pants?

 

[StiHacka]

Wet and slimey?

 

[canadmos]

Moist. Berry moist.


Wasn't riding Yo Momma though.

 

[Adventurous]

Nice!
What trails have you desecrated today, Mr. Orange pants?

Borderland. Tis good to go. The single-track was 98% dry. Fire roads were 95% muck free. Much fun was had. All the techy goodness was ridden, and my legs are letting me know.

Makara Peak today. Trails were great condition.

Top to bottom Peak Flow -> Starfish (e-bike):

Beautiful creek is beautiful

 

[CBJ]

That front is still funky looking but its a very cool bike nonetheless.

Does it look better with a dog in the background?

 

[StiHacka]

Clown tires today.

 

[canadmos]

Clown tires today.

Damn, looks good.

Are your trails frozen or is that dry? Can't tell, but do want!

 

[CBJ]

It's more the water bottle that does it for me.

Weather was nice in Portland (albeit a bit chilly for this desert dweller) so I took 1.5 day off and went riding.

Navigated through freshy gifts from geese and several homeless communes along 10 miles of paved bike path

Some cool trees along the way

Young redwood

The main destination. Builders did a great job on the main downhill jump line.

 

[StiHacka]

Damn, looks good.

Frozen, but mostly dry.

 

[scrublover]

Wasn't planning on the beer until later, but it bounced out and the top popped a bit. Needs of the moment.

Also, my camera seems to have some smudges on the lens.

 

[StiHacka]

Early morning ride before zombies and typhoon apocalypse attack.

 

[scrublover]

WTF, March?

 

[Changleen]

Approve of red details on the bike.

First whoopsie on the carbon wheels. I’ll need to peel off the tire and see if it’s salvageable. The stans would only hold pressure up to about 15psi then puke out the cut at the bead.

What rim?
Heavy impact cut the tyre and cracked it?

 

[Nick]

the rim is toast, or the tire is toast?

 

[Da Peach]

tire. not evidence of impact on the rim. (from what I could see trailside)

What rim?

Uh.... DT....XMC1200? Cut the tire. No rim damage. They're pretty fancy. And strong! (from what I could see trailside)...

 

[Westy]

Looks like the impact knocked a bunch of your hair out. Must have been harsh.

 

[Nick]

wow!

 

[Da Peach]

It rattled down to my face. Much to my wife's chagrin. (no, that's not a body part)

 

[Westy]

Are you sure your stem didn't explode sending shrapnel into the sidewall?

 

[Da Peach]

Now you've got me trawling PB buy and sell for stems...

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Get some wheels and a fork while you're at it, then whine about them.

 

[Da Peach]

Get some wheels and a fork while you're at it, then whine about them.

Before or after I install them? Both?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Both. Blame everyone and everything.
