Today's Ride

i saw that yesterday...Balls of steel...except one of them is a girl...

I got me a new whip!

NICE!  

The only thing that keeps me sane this time of year, at the end of ski season, is biking!

I'm excited to get back on my new ride as well. I'm going to get a nice ride in on Friday when its predicted to be a bluebird day with temps in the low-mid 70's!  Then hopefully back on skis for Saturday!!

das fuggin sexy! been doing a little gravel grinding, looking forward to the suckfest that is springtime mtb!

I’m stoked now too. I’ve had a hard time getting really stoked to ride the last few years, this new bike should keep me going for a while.

I’m really fired up to get back to trail building. We finally have an agreement in place with the Forest Service agency to go out on our own without FS supervision and we have some really cool projects planned. I’m definitely going to create a geeky trail building thread in here and keep it updated.

Next bike is gonna be a short travel 29er for those big rides with lots of dirt road riding.

Marc, Going to Bluehills on Saturday..If you don't ski , join us..

Very Sweet...Not many things better then getting a new ride..

I just picked this up a month ago.




 

Didn't you just get a new ride a couple years ago?

Nah, I had a 2013 stumjumper. It was clapped out big time.

I have a team sponsorship mostly for trail building so it’s a lot more affordable.

I hope my question wasn’t offensive, I didn’t mean it like that. I was honestly just curious.

AZ
I thought JD was asking me that question...

Jonesing to ride Highline in Sedona..

Hiline is such a good trail.

One of our projects that kicks off this summer is a newly rerouted descent on elden that's going to have around 6 miles of high speed, wide open descent through some bad ass geology.

Nah, I just found it funny, especially considering that I drive an 18-year-old car. I promise not to drag it out again out of context.

Where is Bluehills? Do you mean Blue Mountain Reservation in Peekskill? I love that place...great riding.

I am planning on getting one last day at Platty on Saturday. But I am also planning on getting out tomorrow at some point on my new ride on our local trails.  I haven't been out yet on the bike this season...I'm sure I'll be sucking wind the first ride.

All you guys talking about riding are making me jealous. I'm still waiting for it to get warm enough out to melt the ice off of my pond.

It’s been sunny and warm over here but man, this place is about light up with fire. Some dumb ass burned his neighbors house down the other day when he was burning trash and accidentally started a forest fire.
