Been looking at a street legal WR450F myself. Guys I ride with have em and use them as snow bikes in the winter. It is actually somewhat lighter than my WR250R and rides really nimble...

I could be wrong, but summer rains rarely get us “Out” of a drought. We need a big winter for that. But I’ll take the rain as long as the air stays nice and clear like it has been.

Yeah, when I get time this fall I might make a trip down there. I’d like to do the Alpine loop again with some offshoots.

And it ain’t cheap, $13k, but a Stark Varg could probably be plated and that thing would be a sick bike for anything dirt. Would be insane with slicks on it too. Hopefully these co tiniest to...

I know a guy who got his SurRon plated. Street legal. Don’t think that I’ll go through the hassle. I have a rack. But I’ll probably mainly just sneak across to the trails close to home.
...

Sur Ron on order. For the wife *wink*. Can’t wait to test it out on some local singletrack.

That's like saying "Oh, I got a 1% raise, yay!" when inflation is 8%...

I met the inventor of this or something like this. He is my parents neighbor. Nice fella. It works, is pool is warm.

I feel like STD rentals would face a lot of challenges with or without the internet.

Easy to assume the worst of people to justify hating on everything and every one. STRs, WFH, SHO, etc have all existed in these places for many years. They've just become accelerated and...

You gots the peach tree in there and errthang!

Nice soaker last night. I'm down for some monsoonal moisture for the rest of the season. Tacky morning trails.

Been on a Utica Club kick ever since I found it at a local liquor store. Other than that, I've been on a (non-beer) Ranch Water kick.

Nobody was doing HELOCs the last few years because you were better off doing a cash out refi. Maybe just in the last year did it make any sense to get a HELOC, and the banks were kinda stingy with...

We were looking at Vancouver Island, or interior BC. Not really into Vancouver itself. Wife hates the city.

We looked at moving to Canada a few years ago. Jobs in place, real estate searching. Citizenship wasn't really tough to get because of my wife's job. We would have been renting out 3 or more...

Stark VARG, sounds pretty bad ass.

There is this thing called visual voicemail now that turns your voicemail into a text.

I never answer my phone.
AITA?

Good for you, I love the Montrose area. Same for us here. There will always be idiots, but I'd like to hope and think that the last recession taught people some lessons that helped them avoid...

I'm all for a good old fashioned toilet flush. This town could use one. Shit built up too much with keeping interest rates low for way too long, allowing people to invest in things they shouldn't...

Tell us how you REALLY feel.

A lot of things working against the STRs these days could cause many to take a dive and the owners to sell or go under water. Places like Teton Valley that are far from airports and population...

I got the feeling that it is just the locals who live in Silverton building the trail for themselves. Not trying to become "Bike town USA" or anything. I could be way off but it was just the feel I...

Apparently Silverton has some new trail work going on. Anyone ride any of those yet?

Talked to a guy yesterday who was trying to get a SurRon registered as street legal here in Summit county. Wonder how that'll work out. He seemed to think it could be done.

Yeah, at this point we know what he did wrong. But if he had filtered water at the last available source and filled his reserves, maybe he could have had water further down the trail, and thus...

I still don’t get how one would carry 10 liters of water on that ride or any ride.

Wildfire smoke is fucking annoying.

MOTHERFUCKER! I knew it, such a nice weekend I kept thinking "I wonder when the smoke will start to suffocate us again". Well here we are. Sonofabitch! Can barely see Baldy this am.

Wrong thread jong.

Right? Not sure how that would be accomplished, but that would be a cool addition. Even a sign next to a stream that said "Fill up here, last H2O for 20 miles". But maybe don't ride that trail in...

Sad news, a guy from CO Springs, riding alone, ran out of water and died. Make sure to carry lots of water.
Article recommends 10L, which seems like a lot, but I guess it would have been good for...

You would be surprised how a gust of wind can knock you off and pick your board up and throw it really far away from you. Had it happen running a canyon and luckily I had a leash on. Another girl...

Agreed. I’ve been liking Iguana hot sauces from Costa Rica. Good flavor and spice balance.

Someone gave me some fancy German mustard in a squeeze tube like old school toothpaste yesterday. I might not ever go back.

So many better hot sauces out there.

Up until 2013 anyway.

We had a mom give birth to two babies in our back yard a few years ago. They come back every spring now.

There are a shitload more Moose than there used to be in this state. When I moved here in the mid nineties I saw maybe one moose every few years, if I was lucky, and I spent a lot more time in the...

Define “Cheap”.

Riding up Vail then down Radio Flyer after a few beers at the top of Lionshead gondola is also enjoyable. We usually do it as part of the ride from Two Elks.

Yeah, I refuse to pay for Keystone anymore. Aside from it being VR, they also don’t maintain their trails for shit. Which is fine for “acoustic” access, but if you pay good money for it, they really...

I'm honestly surprised that more people don't ride up and down at Keystone. You are basically guaranteed a really fun downhill run that is better and longer than most downhill runs in the state. I...

^^Which vineyard? I have some family friends who own one up off 85.

What thread?

He's probably going to hunt us all down on our respective ski hills and take our ACLs out with a crow bar when we least suspect it. Live in fear.

Is bunny gone? Hadn't noticed. What happen? I must have not been paying much attention.

Anyway. Talked to two neighbors on our street who are selling this week. One of them have been in their...

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Whataboutism.

They are both suck but at least the jeep is a known entity. Lots of aftermarket everything available.

I really don't understand why you'd buy one of these pieces of shit over a jeep. And I really don't like Jeeps either. Every person I see driving one of these Bro-ncos looks like an attention...

Nice stretch of weather for the weekend coming up. About damn time.

You ride mountain bikes at Peach Valley?
