A coupla burst tubes and some significant pin damage to the shin was all I got. Burro seemed to ride better than last year.

I apologize, I'm a fucking jong when it comes to photo embedding (and a jong in general). It used to be only URL no? Crazy new features the interwebz have... anyway, more photos

If anyone wants full res (yeah full res from my old 6 mpx SLR) just hit me up

**Roxtar** · 10-11-2012, 08:26 AM

Killed me not to make it for this.
Rode WE on Wednesday. It was incredible but four (yes, I said 4) flats by the time I hit PorcRim made it a looonnng day. No more tubes forced a walk out to the PR trailhead on Sand Flats. Had to call my wife out to come pick me up there.
This (and other events) pretty much killed any remaining spousal credit. Another day of her sitting around at the campsite waiting for me was NOT going to happen.

Wish I had a pic of the guy we saw at the overlook on the rigid Surly with a moonlander tire up front. I can only assume that was his "suspension".

I just don't get it. We were up there 3 weeks ago and saw a bunch of guys on hardtails. I get beat up enough on a 6 inch bike.

I rode WE 4 years ago on a 29er hardtail because that's the bike I had. My riding style was a lot different then (upright in corners, not aggressive...kinda like a geriatric steering a sailboat) but I don't remember having a bad time because of the bike. In fact, I had a blast. You end up adjusting, go slower, and in the end the beatdown is probably about the same. Same destination, different journey and all that.

That being said, I'm stoked to ride it again this weekend with the full squish. It'll probably seem like an entirely different ride this time.

I was with a group about 4 years ago and one of the guys rode TWE on a rigid, he couldn't really walk the next day. I mean he could hobble around, it's not like someone broke his knees with a skillet, but he was beyond wrecked (maybe because he was trying to keep up with the big bikes). I imagine if you go slower you wouldn't be as housed.

It was my second time riding it without my DH bike last weekend, I definitely missed blasting through with 8 inches of travel... at times, but 5.5 inches of travel made it more techy, which was fun, and the climbs were MUCH better.

Rode WE for the first time on Wednesday. Took my time to absorb the scenery and riding and finished in about 5 hrs. Truly an adventure ride that does beat you up a bit.

To think that the WE Enduro racers were finishing (without riding the Porcupine Rim st) sub 2 hrs blows me away. I guess when you're that fast you're only riding the tips of all the rocks anyway...
