until yesterday it was basically sunny morning with hail or rain for 10 minutes in the evening. And other than the flow I'm working on now, soils are well-drained mineral sandy/rocky and they're going to ride better wet or in the kind of stuff we have now. Last night dumped a bunch but it drains very quick, you see dry crust by noon and stuff will start to break apart again by the afternoon.

no snow

Rad. I'm excited to try it out. I popped a spoke over the weekend, so waiting on that repair.

Do they make a timber bell that can do the dangly ring but also serve as a normal bell when “locked”? Does the timber bell do this?

I think the timber is either dingle dangle or no noise. I think it locks the tonsil thingy.

I think that's what I'm looking for. I have specific questions (if they would be welcomed here) about what I can get locally (Giant & Norco). More generally, however, I've been advised that a better quality hardtail would be preferable for my purposes than a more entry-level full-suspension bike. Thoughts? Thanks again for your help!

A good way to get an idea of what you want to look into is to check out the trail head. See what the majority of people riding what you plan to ride have. If its mostly hard tail trails, a FS bike might not be as fun.

Any recommendations on lightweight, short sleeve mountain bike jerseys? Now I wear some of my road stuff (too constrictive) or random "athletic wear". I'm looking for something not too baggy.

Not being plastered in goofy logos is a big plus.

I'm a fan of the HandUp Jersey

Does anyone have opinions on swing out hitch arms for bike racks? e.g. Kuat Pivot, RakAttach or whatever Thule/Yakima offer.



Just got an email about the RakAttach2.0. maybe see if you can get 1.0 on discount (lol 1up discount).

Today I cleared all three scary downhill features in the gully on Horsetheif but paid a blood price for it. Probably worth.

Has anyone purchased from N+1 bikes? That 25% off the Ripley with free upgrade to XT is enticing..

I did this to Denver. Free shipping and no tax. A+. I went Ripmo AF NGX for $2700 all in. They set it before shipping, so putting it together was just a matter of fitting the bars. Surprised me, they repackaged the whole thing very well. The shipping took longer than I expected, but it was over 4th of July weekend. I think it took them 2 weeks to actually send it out, only a week to arrive from then. I sent an email to ask about it and they responded quickly.

I had 2 other friends go through them, which convinced me to pull the trigger, and their bikes arrived faster than my own.
