Holy shit, rideit! altachic was up at the Rosenberg Cooley Metcalf Clinic yesterday and came home with plans to have a TKR at about the same time. Hers won't cost quite as much as yours ($6,750 deductible with 0% coinsurance), but she doesn't even like oxy....

That’s what handjobs on the Gondola are for, duh. I make them pay a LOT more when the car is full.

New WTB Venture gravel/road tires for the rigid. This is a great bike for where I live. I started getting annoyed pedaling my full squish Ibis Mojo 3 on pavement to the mostly fire-road riding that is closest to me. Figured I can be more efficient and enjoy the pavement much more with something like I built up here.

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

Marin county. Some fun single track for the full squish but even more fire roads that span across the whole county, out to the coastline and beyond. Scenic pavement roads too. A great place for a gravel bike! I wanted something that had mtb geo, and flat bars, so I would feel more comfy on the downhills and just more relaxed riding position overall compared to a more traditional drop bar gravel bike which was the idea behind this build. I had a pretty sweet gravel bike a few years ago but never got as comfortable as I wanted on it, so ended up selling it with the goal to build up something better suited for me in the future.
Lately I find myself wanting to drive down to Santa Cruz for demo forest/campus/wilder ranch trails or up to Santa Rosa or Napa for Annadel/Skyline trails for proper single track.
But Marin is a poachers paradise if you wanna duck the ropes...

Recent rains marked the start of desert riding season and 1st lap down Palm Canyon

Hey Evdog, I’ll be out in Palm Springs in late March and would love to do the Palm Canyon Epic... is there anyone local that runs shuttles? How about a good shop in PS that has a decent demo fleet?

crazybearbikes.com does shuttles, usually just weekends. No idea on demos or local shops. Palm springs is mostly roadie centric. I'll be happy to give you the tour if you give me some heads up.

Good call, rad gravel bikes give such good payback in Marin.
Believe it or not, despite now living 45 minutes from Oakridge Oregon, I do still miss my quick spins at Camp Tamarancho. Marin is rideable for many more days of the year, and the trails here can be “all or nothing” when it comes to vertical (generally pancake flat or 3000’ climbs).
I’m not complaining though, May through October is ridiculously awesome here._______________________________________________

Absolutely, Tamarancho is a great place to have in the backyard. Always fun to spin a lap and grab a beer in Fairfax after.
I've never ridden anywhere in Oregon but I can imagine the trails being great when they aren't slop. My good friend goes up to Ashland area for riding and says its great. Have you been out that way?

Go forth and ride, then bring back pics
Ashland OR is one of my favorite places on the west coast, about 3 hours from here, and I absolutely have driven there-and-back for day trip MTB’ing, just like doing the Tahoe day trip for MTB/ski/climbing.
4000’ vert bike shuttle, 14 mile-ride back into downtown Ashland for like $15 a lap. A mix of crystallized grippy decomposing granite and drifty gritty loam, high speed flow, light chunk, big time jumps, steep or low angle riding options. Wildflowers and views of Mount Shasta.
Two large breweries right in town.
Great restaurants and cafes.
Several fantastic wineries within 20 mins of downtown, 5 times that within an hour.
17 miles drive from downtown to the top of the local ski resort that gets 250” of snow a year.
1.5 hours drive from downtown to Bunny Flat or Brewer Creek TH’s on Shasta.
< 1 hour drive to south TH of Mount McLoughlin.
More sunny days per year than Berkeley/Oakland.
Yeah, I’ve been there. A lot_______________________________________________

My only trip to Ashland was end of May. There was still 5-6 feet of snow up at the top of the super D course. They had to plow it so people could access the singletrack. Timewarp wasn't accessible. Can't recall if that was a normal or big snow year, but I'm guessing only the lower trails would be accessible in March or April unless there's minimal snowpack. We couldn't hit any higher elev trails in Oakridge either. There were some snow drifts on the upper section of Alpine, though it was mostly rideable.
