Today's Ride

No it's not eagle, Shimano XT 11 speed with a 45 tooth Wolf Tooth for the lower end.  11 x 45 eleven speed with a 28 up front.  Not a plus, but close...2.6 tires.  Set up for Adirondack riding.

very sweet set up...

tried posting from my phone saturday but it was not  cooperating...hero dirt morning fast and tacky

Ride 2 on my winter project.  All I can say is Awesome!  Turner also has some fantastic customer service.  I sent them a question on shock pressures while building it up over the winter, Dave Turner himself called me back in about 15 minutes.  Don't get that kind of service very often.

Saw a similar bike on Loop 3 in Loggers/Lussi trails on Saturday.  Sharp!

Chris, That was me!

I thought there was a good chance!  Next time we'll have to get some riding in together, love seeing crews of folks out on the trails

Over in Denmark for work... borrowed a bike from the Danish airforce base I'm working at and went out for a 15km ride with some F-16 maintainers...showed me the local trails in Southern Jutland.  Holding on to the bike for the weekend gonna do some MTB trail exploring

very cool

Seriously cool, Mike. I'm hoping for some more pics  from the weekend. Finally got on my bike myself but I just rode it up the hill to 7-11

Here's some pics from the trails I hit this past weekend...I'll probably post a TR at some point when I have time.

Well maintained single track...

Another trail closer to the coast

Kinda looks like PNW

Sure.  Hardy drains quickly.

You guys have inspired me to get my almost-daily workouts outdoors the last couple weeks. I've been tooling around town on a bike instead of going to the gym. Just five of six miles of basic suburban streets but pretty hilly; it's a start. If I keep it up I'll probably have to buy a real mountain bike soon. In the old days I stuck with my road bike. This one got purchased a while ago just to have something that would take a bab seat.




When I got home, I pumped up the tires on my son's BMX and did some fast laps around the backyard, which is always fun. Between our little stream, the swing set and having my camper set up back there, I've got quite a little obstacle course.

just get out and ride..the bike isn't that important...but i would take bar ends (bull horns) off , you don't want to get gored..

Yeah, I may do that. I never use them anyway, and my town is real hilly. I need to go over the whole thing and straighten/tighten a bunch of stuff on it so I guess I'll figure it out then

A piece of history right here ... could use a serious tune up though

I think my first 10 speed was free spirt..It was from Sears..
