Its all good, plenty of lines for everyone to take out there and you don't have to send it every run. Let me know next time youre out there on a weekend and we can take a lap or two.Quote:

yeah - its super floaty. love the drop in there then hitting that.Quote:

my planned little cruise today turned into a much longer cruise. couple of mechanicals, some dodging of participants in the bailey hundo, a long hike and some very nice guys on the trail who got me on my way since i forgot to throw the chain tool in the bag this morning. beautiful day and a great ride despite everything.

A couple C-shots from our weekend in Park City... between the insanely extensive and interconnected trail network, the stupid fun free bike park, and the free buses running at regular intervals to take your bike anywhere you want to go, that place is DIALED for mountain biking like nowhere else I've been.
The GF, her brother, and his dog Mugsy totally crushing a PC dirt highway... there were a lot of seriously smooth, bust, fast sections coming down from PCMR

The GF totally crushing an epic skinny... Lee, is she ready for North Van??

Lots and lots and lots of sections like this... yet despite the uncomplicated terrain, still managed to get a flat tire, snap my shifter mount, snap my derrailleur cable, and break my dropper post bar mount after trying to get it off to mount on the rental bike I had to take out due to the following three... ended up having to just tape all the broken shit to the top tube and single-speed it for an afternoon bike park session. Still fun but I am not jealous of people with true DH bikes who have to walk those things everywhere...

Got some POJ(ong) footage from the summer I've been meaning to put together, I'll have to work on getting some little one-runs up since putting anything "polished" together takes forever.
Jong out.
^^Nice. I've got to get out to utah in the summer one of these years.
PC is pretty damn dialed! Definitely a great bike destination for how quick it is to get to, how central all the riding is, and the fact that you don't need a car rental at all. Was your video from Mountain Creek? Going back home to NH for the 4th and praying I can squeeze in the time to go up to Highland for a day...
Good to pedal with you the other day, Ryan. No shortage of buff trails here. Park City feels like the bike equivalent of skiing at Vail. Endless blue-square options but sometimes at the expense of trail personality.
Lots of chopping to be done around the local trails this spring. The snow melted faster than the trail crews were keeping up with.

Exploratory riding. Looks better than it was.

Park City is lush right now, but getting dusty quick. Hopefully the trails get a good rinse this week.

Nice. We pedaled that yesterday afternoon too. Spinning my non-lightweight, old AM bike up the Shadow/Scott/Puke section was painful, but probably not nearly as hard as grinding out the final bit before Pinecone on your singlespeedQuote:

So came home, drank beer, screwed about in the garden.

Then got back out today and said fuck you to the tire destroying section.

Scrublover, your location just made me laugh. And I thought I had invented that word.... Are you still rocking the TRc?
Excellent!
How so?Quote:

You should contact Surly, some folks got their cracked frames warrantied from what I heard. Turns out they specd thinner wall seat tubes and the weld process connecting the seat stays caused a stress riser or similar problem in the weld affected area.
