Happy Tuesday. I think I'll get on a bike, vote on the school budget, and see if my local machine shop is open.
Volvo got dropped at the shop last night CEL on but running fine plus new front struts. Get to drive the truck to work today
1000 yards at the pool this morning. 10 x 100 yards. I could only do 25 yards at a time (one pool length) a month ago. Gotta love how quickly the gains come when learning something new.
Getting ready for the craft brewers conference in Portland. Can you say shit show?
WTF kinna $hitty bike rack was this?Apparently, my friend Mike's bike rack is broken...
And for the record - WAS NOT ME.
Second day of class today. Going by fast and a lot of inf . I am looking forward to being an fto.
He said friend, no one likes you.WTF kinna $hitty bike rack was this?
And for the record - WAS NOT ME.

I hope that isn't your new bike...
An alu bar simply would not do that frame justice...

That is his new bike. Alloy is the only material that comes in ano green, dontchya know?
Ride night!
Random question, but how do you guys meet people to ride with? Although naturally a loner, sometimes I do actually like to ride with other people. I tried putting up a M4M post on Craiglist but didn't get the kinds of rides I was looking for.

As much as it pains me to say it - the FR MTBR forum is a good place to find group-type rides.
Your side of town hook up with BadAndy. He's good people.
You could allways track down Full Trucker too - he is fun to ride with.

Be sure to mention that you're looking to shuttle Apex. People love that ride.
This. My vanity for color matched bars outweighed my vanity for having expensive crabon bars.
Tuesdays are race car night for me, all other nights / mornings are generally open. Ditto what SS said about the FR MTBR forum being a good place to meet people for riding partners. Also ditto what 'Squeeb said about asking to shuttle Apex... people do love that trail. Otherwise I've seen lots of JeffCo and Denver area Meetup groups as well.
Most of the people I ride with these days are either folks I've met through other friends in Golden, people I used to race with/against, or folks that I met on T.I.T.S. (Today Is Thursday, Sweet!) rides which were organized through MTBR. Honestly, I ride with the T.I.T.S. crew most often, they're my homies and some of my best friends at the moment.
Or Lair of the Bear. After work. $$$
I would recommend it. It was f**king HOT and sweaty yesterday... and I made the mistake of trying the upper loops backwards. WTF?
I still can't believe you didn't go with purple ano.
Thanks for the suggestions. Now that I work in Lakewood I think the T.I.T.S rides are a bit more manageable. I'll try to hook up with some of those crews.
And as blasphemous as it may sound, I'm not big on shuttling. I'd rather ride to the top, as painful as it may be.

Yes - hook up with these guys. They are a fun crew.
Heh. I'm not "big on shuttling" either, but if someone is driving... I'll hitch a ride.
Only because it wasn't available. Sorta.I still can't believe you didn't go with purple ano.
It only takes one big shuttled high country ride to realize that you're still climbing to the top.
Heh. This. Kenosha to Breck comes to mind... or A-Basin to Frisco.
Or from say... Spring Creek Pass to the Rio Grande Reservoir?
@Full Trucker full bike picture please before it got destroyed!
Err... perhaps.
Or Copper to Camp Hale.
Or Snow Mese to Miner's Creek.
Or even The Whole Enchilada...
I'm such a lazy bastard.
The good news is, only the end of the bar and the left grip were destroyed. Bar was ground down ~5mm or so, and I was planning on narrowing them a bit anyways. Cut ~7mm of each side today and back in action as soon as I get a new set of grips. But certainly happy to reply with a gratuitous photo repost from a couple of GMTs from the last few days:
Or Mag 7 with a Portal exit.
Although technically 'The Whole Enchilada' is a looped ride from town, I think you're referring to the shuttled ride 'Burro Down' but that's just splitting hairs really. And yes, you are a lazy bastard.
Hence why I now need to break free from me introvert shell and make some friends. It sure is tough to shuttle a ride solo.
no, it just ends with a loooooong climb.
I can ride something after work today. Holla if you're around.
B.D.F.D.I.A.D.
It's this funky hatchback mounted rack with a tray the bike sites on and an arm that swings down and clamps on to the top tube to stabilize the bike. This one:
See the little pincher things on the upper arms? That assembly came loose and dropped my bike. Fortunately, the wheels were captured so it was still attached and kept the entire bike from hitting the ground. Since the bars are ridiculously wide even by #enduro standards, the end of the bar was the only thing that hit the ground.

So now your bars are the correct width?
