Thanks for the info!

For sure. I’ve got a buddy who’s been in parallel to me but decided to wait out for a Spesh , then a Spur and now a Ranger - all that he’s had on order. A lightly used Ranger just fell into his lap so the saga is over.

The updated Izzo builds are a small downgrade for a higher price (same as every other brand), but still major value for the $$$. I’m glad they ditched the lockout.

Inspired by Le Tour, we mixed it up and went for a road ride for a change
Buy the ticket...take the ride.

But all that considered, I'm ok-ish.
Hit a pothole at 35-40…definitely road crash.

Road riding is fucking terrifying to me. Y'all are nuts... I'd much rather land on some dirt & rocks at 1/4-1/2 that speed. Originally Posted by smartyiak

looks like an area I scouted to ski on Google Earth....not sure if there was ever enough snow to make it worthwhile on a regular year. But looks rad to bike! Originally Posted by hick

Pro tip - yer supposed to keep the helmet side above the tire side at all times. Originally Posted by smartyiak

When I was in ER ~10 years ago with a concussion after MTB crash, doc said “be sure to replace your helmet”.
“For sure, and Giro gives you a discount on crash replacement”
“It’s really sad that you know that” she said.

I will 100% not be wearing that helmet. I’m giving it to the neighbors kids!
I’m joking. But I am gonna hang it on a wall out something.

Damn, glad to hear you're okay-ish for the most part. At least, you haven't lost your sense of humor. I wish you a full recovery and hopefully speedy, but don't rush it especially with a brain injury.
With the high temps and 1-yr old at home, I've found odd hours have been working best for me this year. Last night was a real treat with what turned into a slow burn sunset followed by cool temps for a 3000 foot descent down the bird.
