If this thread is still about riding, I do indeed ride also, my current bike is a new norco shore.
Who here actually rides??

You're supposed to know dumbass. Part of it was on the Colorado trail or lots of it was. You posted a ton of pictures and it didn't bore me to tears. It was cold then hot then you were up high and then went dh for awhile.SkaredShtles said:Which one was that?

It may not be interesting to you. But we may learn something about you and find that intersting. Maybe not. Put it out there and we'll see. I for one find most posts about riding and bikes interesting. A lot more interesting then some smartass comment that might start a flame war or a belittile someone as is common at times in a lot of threads in the lounge.DRB said:

Hey, nice picture!smedford said:
if im not riding id like to know where the f' all these broken bones came from.
i almost think i obsess about it sometimes. when im driving through a new town i always catch myself looking for urban lines. i cant go underneath an over pass and not think, i wonder if i could poach this drop.

I've been sad lately as I've ridden trails 4 times since Sea Otter last year. Once was Nationals, the second was dhing on a borrowed bike (awesome ride, until the bike broke 
), a race a few weeks back, and a 20 mile trail ride the other week. Going riding on Sunday I hope.
Fortunately I've been rocking the road bike I built right before summer last year. Averaged 250+ miles a week until late November. Rode it all through the first half of winter quarter, geting up at 6am to head out on 70 mile road rides 2 or 3 times a week. Focking cold, but well worth it.
Rode a bit of bmx when I was down south, that is always fun. Lately though, I've been sick for about two weeks and the weather is crap for road riding and the trails are muddy. Oh well, bike riding in Monterey on Sunday and in two weeks I'll be in Santa Barbara where I'll be doing laps up and down Jesusita...maybe a few runs down Tunnel too? Hmmmm. Rigid and rocks

Hey ito, I saw that photos of that wallride you did in SB. Thats crazy, and you're good!
I am so obsesed with biking too. In the car, I am always looking at lines and camera angles outside (urban,hills,whatever im looking at, I find lines).

Thanks, but I never landed it cleanly. Kept trying to table out and it wasn't happening. Oh well. Thanks for the compliment though, I appreciate it.

Just so I'm not known as one of them!
Thats still cool! I guess you go fast and ride into like a berm...haha. I am taking a photo class at sbcc, and I have seen so much cool stuff to ride. I need to go with my bike.
Maybe we can meet up and ride when you come to SB. Do you know where the figuroa shuttle trails are?

I ride bikes when I have time, and right now that is never.
Come summer though, I ride almost everyday.

I try to ride everyday, even if that means urban riding this tiny town (trying to find new things/lines here is very hard).

Meh... I've gotta $5k bike and I ride it whenever I feel like it.
I live where there is pretty much year 'round riding since we don't get snow or anything. Mud will keep me off the trail though. I post an infrequent ride report now and again but most of you think you know that La doesn't really have any trails since there are no boulders to huck off of...
Nearly all my friends that I socialize with are MTBers.
I ride 5 days a week from late March-the end of Oct then it's a few times a month. I think I am gonna try to do the Arkansas MTB series this year if my schedule allows for it.

Being that I am certainly one of those posters (posers?) that rarely posts about bikes or riding, and my posts are often made just to target and ridicule my e-friends and heckle people, thus running the risk of being palced on people's ignore lists. Being that I usually am the first to take a serious post NOT serisouly, I'll try and take this one VERY seriously. So allow me clarify: I ride bikes. Love 'em. Own several and ride them all as much as I can.
Lately I've been riding a lot of road. I'm coming off ANOTHER serious injury (read: surgery... again) and road is the only thing I could do for a couple of months. Plus, I like it, it's fun and different and I like to blare heavy metal in my earphones and go fast. I ride a Torelli - it's a dreamy road bike, Columbus steel tubing with an Easton carbon fork and rides like silk. I don't do a lot of long epic road rides, usually just around Denver on the bike paths and I ride from 1-3 hours depending on my mood and how much time I have.
The past few weeks I've been able to get on the dirt more, and the weather in Denver is sorta cooperating. I rode a couple of Front Range XC rides on my Yeti 575 over the last couple of weeks, and have been riding a lot of pump track, BMX track and mountain cross on my Yeti 4X bike. Both of those bikes are bad ass and I love riding them for what they do. I used to have a Yeti AS-R but it was too XC-oriented in the geometry for my tastes, so I sold her and got the 575. The 575 has the same build (I only sold the frame) and weighs less than a pound more, and climbs about 95% as efficiently, but when you point it downhill holy CRAP it's so much better!
Here in a few weeks I expect my new DH bike to arrive: a Yeti 303. When that happens, I am packing up the truck and heading straight for Bootleg to get it dailed in, and then hopefully down into AZ to try and find some XC and shuttle riding and visit my cousin. Stay tuned for that, anyone in AZ!
In the summer about once or twice (hopefully more this coming summer) you can catch me night-riding/booze-cruising on a rickety-ass mid-50's Schwinn Spitfire. It's blue and old and AWESOME. And the girls seem to like it...
Today I will be riding on two wheels, although I am not sure which steed yet. Chance are, however, that it's going to be my '02 Yamaha YX250F - the weather is supposed to be in the 50s, but we just had a bit of snow this week so the trails probably won't be in good shape to ride mtn bikes and I've already ridden enough road this week. Yes... dirtbikes... that's the ticket for today.
Yeah I ride. So what?

I ride road with a xc bike...xc, superD, DH, FR, and occasionally some jumps too...I try and ride as much as possible, but being in school full time again has taken up a lot of time...I ride all over the place: Biwell Park, Downieville, Mt. Shasta, Whiskeytown, Redding, past Forest Ranch, Bootleg Canyon, Virgin, UT, Whistler and probably a few more...
and I usually only post crap in the Lounge, well, because it's the Lounge...if I wanted actual information, I'd go to that specific forum...

I try to ride as much as possible, XC at least once a week. My ride is a KHS Comp ST. I commute to work 3-4 times per week on my old Cannondale.

i try to ride as often as i can. didnt ride for the entire winter because i was just too busy with snowboarding and teaching people how to snowboard. ive been riding primarily xc lately to get myself in shape for racing and my only bike is an xc bike. i will be getting some sort of a dh bike this season so ill have more riding options.
I ride, xc and some single speed (Soon to be the only one...). Used to race a bit, but got heavy and got a job, family, dog and mini van. Would like to race again, but cant handle the racer mentality... (Not trying to start anything, btw!)
As my employment situation improves the time I can devote to riding decreases... I'm down to 1 day week on the road for 35 miles and 3 days on the trainer. I have not been on a trail in 4 months - I just do not have enough free time to travel to all the fun places. This summer I am going to tour (unsupported) the Denali National Park via Anchorage.
That sucks.goodtobeIrie said:used to be the first drop Troy ever built on the stinc...it was on the first trail towards the left of everything else...it went bye bye...
I saw a giant rep at the LBS up here and he asked if I rode DH, and after he heard I did he asked if I knew the gnar trail that just got torn down...

What's with all the pads??? Nice pics. My trails are too short and there is a lack of drops to tranny here. Kind of sad, but I still ride when I can. 1 1/2 hours was enough today. It was in the 80s. I hate the heat.goodtobeIrie said:

...when I do drops over 7-8 ft. and jumps of gaps around 14-18...I like to make sure I get hurt as little as possible when I eat siht...not to mention now I've got an over $2000 arm to protect...and I scar like crazy...you could always shovel a tranny...like we usually do...I wish it would get up to 80 here...I think that's the perfect temp, maybe a little cooler...it's been all rain here for a while...trails are off limits...:mumble:

I am about to build some stuff, but it won't be very big. Not a ton of spots around to build on here.
I ride, lots. Up to three 40 mile road rides during the week (commuting); Another one or two mtb rides, anywhere from 20'ish to 45 miles each, and possibly another road ride. This last year I rode the 109 mile Tour de Tucson, Tour of the white mountains, and 24 hours of the old pueblo, a couple of centuries, about 2000 miles off road, and about 4000 miles on road, all after being hit by a car in April.
I bought three bikes this year. A replacement road bike, a Titus switch blade build up to keep from going insane, while I recovered from my accident and more recently an '06 enduro because I'm about as recovered as I'm going to get and ready to start being a little more daring. My wife bought a road bike and a pink racer-x. Yes I post bike pics, on a bike forum. I like seeing the bikes other people have, and I like to think someone might want to see mine.
