Go forth and ride, then bring back pics

Oh, then you get to answer the complicated question: how long do you want to keep the bike? I think there's a thread for that.

Bike already has sentimental value. I would like to get a full suspension bike at some point soon, probably in the spring, but I doubt this bike is worth enough to even bother with selling it. Would rather keep it around for an extra than sell it.

Its a really cool old kona pahoehoe. I will keep it foreva!

Depends on what you have on there. If it's 10 speed with a clutched derailleur already, you can get a chainring and then a cassette or maybe just a big add on cog for your existing cassette.

If it's 9-spd or you don't have a clutched RD, you might as well go 1x11. Need a shifter, RD, cassette, chain, chainring. Shimano's 11s mountain cassettes go on 8/9/10s freehubs, sram's do not.

ha. Thanks for clarifying drunk stoner talk. I think I understand what drunk stoned bike friend has been saying about my drive train situation.

alpine trails are drying out nicely after a wet july. thought we'd go check out the trails up by sol mt lodge. stunning alpine scenery but i think we were most impressed by the trail building rock work

Lunch ride on a section of the Tahoe Rim Trail I've somehow never ridden before. 267 up Martis peak. Pretty fun ride back down with a really long sustained downhill and some tricky rock gardens along the way.

Two photos from Hagen/Putt Putt in JH the other day. Low smoke and no bugs, and bone dry. Lots of kitty litter. Come on, rain!



Also turns out I can only turn left. Thanks for the pics hvskier!

I was riding an old fireroad, and heard a quick but very distinct buzz to my right. Looked down and this dude's head was less than a foot from my bottom bracket. Besides the initial buzz, he never moved or rattled. He just stared at me while I cleaned my shorts and took a couple pics.

Good to see and ride with you at the village! Fun night out with mellow crowds.

There were two trees that I remember coming up Hagen.

[grskier]

Good quick ride here is Red Hill, aka mushroom rock.



A little tech up that gets the heart rate up.

^^ Did you plan that post time? Well done

I'm terrible when it comes to stopping to take pics so picture this - Today, early morning ride I come over the crest of a small hill into the hilltop meadow and it's all covered with flowers. All sorts of sizes, colors and shapes with butterflies fluttering about as I ride through. It was so pretty...

[raisingarizona13]

With the Monsoons in full swing Flagstaff is just popping right now!

[RootSkier]

With knapweed?

[alias_rice]

Rode up pinecone to the crest today. We ended up coming down through hail and rain for a while.
