Fuck ya. Thats the only OG way to survive, anyways.Holy schit were all roots covered with a slippery jizz today. We survived but only barely.
Figured I'd throw pictures up of fuckitturdsday ride at Mont Ste Marie in Québec:
vandalism can (sometimes) make signange better...
nice views
sketchy steep switchbacks, washed out trails, loose rocks, wet/frozen leaves... interesting....
leafy...
very cool ice formations
finally into the steeps to finish it off
(also happy to find that my brake bleed was successful).
finished at the car for lunch... and breweing a fresh coffee. There was beer too, but is there anything better than a fresh coffee on a cold day? (too bad my thermos is fucked. didn't keep the water hot. must be a leak somewhere, caus' the water was luke-warm at best...)

yes. in both senses of the word! hough Saturday was ridiculously dry... after 2.5 hours of riding and over 30km, the bike had nary a spec of mud on it. crazy. though that might have been the last day of those conditions, after Sunday's snow/rain/slush event.
Annual attempt during the last weekend of October to get up high was foiled by the snowline in the trees at ~10300ft.
Kiddo gettin' some in moab.
He rode ~10 miles this day with this awesome new 5-tennies model, didn't complain once.

Nice, I riding in places like that. But we don't have a lot of places like that.Kiddo gettin' some in moab.

We're gonna have to ask Scrub. He must have picked one up back in the day when that was a thingStickers????Where do you get them?
You know, customization knows no limits!
double dare?
No, I'm not that glutant for punishment.
When did you take these shots ?
So not all the holes are covered with leaves ?
Not yet. But with tmw rain I’m sure some of those holes will fill up. Just another reason to haul ass!
What's up with those \\\Wheels ?
26 kinda dead? real shakedown in the mountains tomorrow. i figured if i was gonna go with the proper size i might as well maintain the indestructabru.
Did you have ///crappy wheels before? I hadn't noticed...
Aren't those rimz too ///narrow for WT rubborz?

went from 26” ex500s on hopes to 27.5 ex471s on the same hopes...just getting crap for finally putting appropriate sized wheels on the nomad
Ahh... the luddite sheen wore off? Understandable. I'm a fan of 27.5beez. Sell the hoops to HAB.went from 26” ex500s on hopes to 27.5 ex471s on the same hopes...just getting crap for finally putting appropriate sized wheels on the nomad
Sweet wheels. I'm on the the Flow MKIII program. My mech buddy built me up some kickass wheels which have taken some fairly irresponsible abuse to date. Alas, I have ///crappy hubs. Total hub cost: $70. I'll get myself onto a rear hub with better engage///ment someday...
buddy is perhaps the best wheelbuilder in the region. old hoops stood up to ridiculous abuse for 7 years. i think i trued them twice. bent out a dent or two. maybe replaced one spoke. i expect these to do the same.
What was a freaking circus just a week ago on the new trails is now freaking deserted. Did our new "tech trail" and was able to roll all the difficult root lines on my fatbike with the seat up. Still a blast to come down and much better than I thought it'd be.
