Disturbing lack of details from an engineer to not give the required specifics.Seemed like a nice spot to eat a bag of M&Ms
Peanut or chocolate?
I have encountered moose on many canoe trips, including a few decidedly grumpy ones. Have even been less than an arms length away, (that was scary as fuck) but luckily, have never had an incident.
Yours seem to be pissed off to an entirely different level.
Moose attacks Iditarod rookie's sled team, injures 4 dogs
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A large bull moose spent more than an hour stomping on the sled dog team of a rookie Iditarod musher in the wilds of Alaska last week — and the attack didn't end even after Bridgett Watkins emptied her gun into the animal.

Try and stay safe.
Yeah, the problem here is that the dogs stay on the trail. The moose stay on the trail (because it’s packed). It’s basically a game of chicken and the mooose won, or in other words, they rammed the moose. Expected results. It’s a hell of a lot easier to turn around if you are on a bike, skis or hiking. The dogs can’t really turn around hooked up to a sled rig. Mixed thoughts about this, the chosen method of transportation (sled dog) kind of guarantees the result, at least occasionally.I have encountered moose on many canoe trips, including a few decidedly grumpy ones.

And the story about the gun, lots of people bring totally inappropriate glocks and .45s because “lots of rounds” and “Murica”. I watched a cop unload his service 40 into a moose point blank and have to go back to the car and get his shotgun to drop it. I’m not a huge advocate for them in the wilderness, but there are some situations where it may be warranted, but bringing an insufficient caliber, might as well bring more TP, snacky cakes or water for the weight.

Moose > everyone
Day two after booster, woke up tired af. Apparently gonna piss down all weekend so went out anyway. Got a good time equal PB on my favourite Peak Flow (did it twice as well) but then hit a wall. Pretty much coasted down, smacked shoulder on a tree, armour saved me.
Even Mākara has a QR check in code these days. Of course I checked in because fuck antivaxxers.

is that a core 4?
No, it’s the 2019 CF Pro.
Shimano motor?
Yep, e8000.
They make some pretty nifty mods and flashes for that motor
I am totally happy with it, honestly. When I first got it I looked into it, but after a few rides, no need IMO.
I refuse to acknowledge the existence of this post until the Sandwich orientation is fixed.
Today's ride brought to you by actual fucking sunshine, peanut M&Ms, and a Schwartz Brothers Bakery apple danish.
The trail builders here seem to share @kidwoo and others sentiment on narrow singletrail and also prefer "trail corridors". This was a fairly straight, fast and flowy singletrail with a couple of roots and trees standing close by.
Good thing is, this is the main trail and so soft, it will sap all the speed out of this section and be rutted in no time with the moisture we have. Hope all the XC guys will start complaining.
Not all is lost though. Nice new dirt whale tail, still too soft to ride though.

No one really knows how these old hobby horses got here, but the herd keeps growing.

It is, but I love it. It would be my #1 choice of places to live if I had unlimited capital. They have money, but ecclectic taste. Rather than mcmansions and soccer moms in Mercedes(es), you get weird rings of rocking horses and the house from knives out: https://www.fomalincoln.org/outreach/events/house-tours-past-and-present/2-uncategorised/133-making-modern-contemporary. It's dope. We almost bought a house there but were priced out.
