Sure but on USFS land you need a permit for an event with 75 or more people. That's why under the radar MTB races are almost always capped at 74 people. BLM has straight up shut down similar races...

So I take it with no doors, they pull over and deploy both awnings until the rainstorm passes?



There must have been a themed Jurassic park jeep variant made at some point. I've seen one...

Curious about what sort of permission or permit they get to have their gathering. Assuming it is on public land, Forest Service and BLM both require permits above a certain group size. Presumably a...

Could ocean currents have brought it south from BC? There are grizz as far south as Whistler/Squamish area on mainland BC.

Most of the spam calls I get are spoofed local numbers. Pretty much no one I know has a cell phone with a local number. So I don't answer any of those unless I'm waiting for a call. Always figure...

^^ what TT said. Some of my favorite rides. Stuff on the Rico side is good to... calico - but pretty far for a day trip from Durango/Hermosa area.

Personally I'm not a fan of Hermosa creek...

The first half of the trail shouldn't put any rider in a bad spot. It's not that difficult - not a ton of climbing and shade if you need it. But a lot of riders aren't in great shape but good...

Yup a filter like the squeeze or katadyn d-free is super light. I pack one on all backcountry rides as easy insurance. And it lets me carry less water throughout the ride in a lot of cases.

The...

I rode it last summer... mid August? Maybe 90f for a high that day. Didn't think the exposure was as bad as others have said. But I can see people getting in trouble from exertion and...

Did Jeremy ever finish his rock berm to berm to berm? Can't count the number of times we'd ride that trail and he'd be working on that same spot.

Oh and one more thing that annoys me.... $30 for a burger or burrito and a beer.

Same here. Have to think on a bigger time scale as well and not be so self centered and emotional about fire. The places I love to ride and hike most are all national forests so it kills me when...

I cheer for players more at this time of year. Like Makar and want to see him do well. Drspise Perry more than Kadri. So go Avs!

I'm surprised that part of Idaho needed to import people to riot. I used to have a client in CDA that owned a couple mines in the panhandle. When we'd visit we weren't allowed to bring anyone who...

I'm getting there... The ads are one thing but the suggested reels with the fucking viral songs over stupid clips are insufferable. "Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no......" I have a small number of...

The rules don't prohibit media. You can self document the race all you want. Or a neutral media team could cover the race with the race director's approval. What isn't allowed is a camera/film...

Pity he doesn't have room now for a thin blue line flag decal across the back. Or is it on the side?

Found some new to me trail this weekend

Local bike club recently got a bug up their ass that some bridges a friend and I built 10 yrs ago need to be replaced. And of course, that means building unnecessarily over-built bridges that will...

Back to the mountains this weekend. Heat wave coming this week so I wanted to bust out some more work while I can.

Built one short re-route to move the trail where it crosses a corner of...

You pretty much need reservations all the time now. And yeah the fares have become outrageous.

^^^ Pretty sure he doesn't actually have anything useful to say

2 of 2 dispersed campsites I stayed at this weekend had piles of trash thrown in the bushes behind the site. This was only part of it at the first site. The second site had 2-3x more trash than the...

Saw this on the freeway yesterday. Anyone know why Amtrak police would have Federal gov't plates? Pretty sure BNSF railway police have normal plates. Just curious.

Soooo imaginative

Seems like you jinxed him. Kadri out with injury for the remainder of the series. So 1 game... Or more.

^^ a not so happy ending to his happy ending

This. It's quite amusing when ebikers get butt hurt over calling their mopeds that. I will buy one someday when it can replace my dirt bike. And will definitely refer to it as my moped.


Yup. ...

Hard to say from sponsorships. Specialized is the big one, I only see a couple others like Revelate and Rapha. Spec might provide a salary but more likely just bikes and gear. Hard to say. She...

Yup, the moto shop I go to has those Intense mopeds out on the floor as well.

We have plenty of trails here in Socal that get poached by motos. Problem with motos is it doesn't take many of...

From a couple weeks ago...

Did a full point to point shuttle on Condor Peak trail above LA. It was destroyed by the Station Fire in 2009 and heavy winter storms that followed, and has been closed...

Elevation profiles in Trailforks can be way off, mostly on trails that have a lot of incidental climb/descending. Where they are all up and then all down they are usually pretty accurate. Not sure...

I wouldn't be able to walk around without knocking something over. That much clutter would drive me nuts. Is all the furniture and shit on the walls included with the sale?

This was a new one for me. Same for the TV commentators, it seems.

Just proves how silly the video review of offsides is. IMO If a play is so close that video review is needed then there is no...

double post

A cool spell rolled through over the weekend so I was back at it the last couple days.

The work I've been doing is on a string of three trails totaling maybe 4 miles. They were normally ridden...

When e-bikes first appeared in Socal and you called them out on trails they weren't allowed you'd get an "Oh, I didn't know" or "this is a class 1 e-bike, it's allowed". Now most of them just tell...

A friend of mine put wide rims on his bike right before a road trip. Might have been 45 or 50mm. He didn't put wider tires on, just the 2.5s he'd been running. He got multiple flats because the...

Here's some literal shit that annoys me. How to tell I just washed my truck without me telling you I just washed my truck.

Agreed on all that. Not sure how you kick a puck in when you are airborne with your other leg being swept out from under you. And that's ignoring that the fact that the puck was going in anyways...

I have the 27.5 Rail. Amazing climber for 170/165 bike, descends ok as well : )

Let me guess, being a Harley product there is an option to add loudspeakers to replicate straight pipe exhaust noise and blare music over top of that while riding.

...

Tuned in for the last 5 min. Awesome ending. MacKinnon is a beast. A showdown between him and McJesus will be epic.

Back when I used to ride whistler all summer we'd have a front or rear brake go out every so often. If we didn't have what was needed to fix it we'd just lap A-line with a single brake. No front...

This thread has promise....front break delete

Do they drive a Lexus and have new phones from Verizon? Fuck all those commercials on continuous repeat during the playoffs.

Good catch by passerby.

Suspension? I think the major and game misconduct in game was it unless I missed something.

It looked bad real time but was a non-hit. Watch the slo-mo replay at 2:40. Smith was spinning...

There's a definite conflict of interest on the part of shops. If they did a good job of educating their customers where they can't ride their mopeds, they might sell less of them. I don't buy it...
