    Monkeyfest 2024

    I'm watching this space. Not sure what the summer holds, but I'd like to make it to one of these sooner rather than later... on a related note, does anyone know what conditions are like in and around Waterbury these days? Friends of my son were planning a trip to Kingdom the weekend of May 4...

    Angry’s Big Number Two

    is that a picture from inside the new tent?! nice. I have to admit, this thread is rekindling my desire to get out and do some hiking with the kids... my trip to the Adirondacks with my youngest last fall may have been the highlight of my year. it's a good reminder that simple can be good, and...

    Park City: worth a bike trip?

    oh man, I've got to give getting back in shape a fair shake first... I'm not even 50 yet! It seems that all my buddies had a mid-life crisis when they turned 50 and started getting in shape... running, workouts, curly-bar bikes, basement sessions on Zwift... It's like I don't recognize them...

    Fort William 2024 Race

    remind me again what the point of semis is?! was it meant to emulate F1 qualifying? and produce another highlight reel they can post on YT? (ostensibly to get people hooked on the sport?). seems like the main difference is in F1 you don't get cut from the final race, you just get less chances...

    Park City: worth a bike trip?

    I'd love to... but I think the destination is already set for this one. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth burning my vacation time and training for... the training is always worth doing, the vacation, I'm not sure... maybe I'll keep one in the bank to go to Mexico later in the fall...

    Park City: worth a bike trip?

    My buddies are planning the next bike trip. Looks like they're settling on Park City in September. I haven't been on a bike trip in a while due to my back issue and having a hard time getting back into shape. If I decide to join them, I'll have to train my ass off, and I want the destination to...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    A scout w +10mm front and rear is exactly the bike I would like... how does that work? just need a longer stroke shock and fork? or are links and offset bushings involved?

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    I have a Humu. My brother's first bike was Lava Dome. One of my regular riding buddies still has his Process, and both his kids rode Processes growing up. Plenty of them out this way...

    wow! that's... impressive. do you mean fuel costs, or does that also include car payments?! (I have to admit, I didn't watch the videos to find out what his beef is with them... I just saw the headline the other day)

    The last person to post a picture from their last bike ride wins access to the white courtesy phone.

    made it out with the boy last night... He's 13 and didn't break a sweat... he still has lots to learn about technical riding, but the fitness he gets from xc ski training is ridiculous... you sure that's not a picture of a new housing development? was visiting a buddy who lives there over...

    $4/gas... coming this summer to a station near you...

    precisely! I had half a tank last night on my way back from a ride. Decided to swing by the gas station, but there was already a queue. eff that. I'm going to hold my breath and hope things come down in the next week or so... I find that whenever these price-hike announcements are made, the...

    ***is this Tuesday? GMT***

    Managed a lunch-time sneak. First dirt since the elbow surgery (4 weeks ago tomorrow). No lasting pain. Definitely out of shape, but hopefully that will come back eventually. Conditions were glorious: saw 4 people the whole time, not too hot, no bugs, great line of sight, and other than the...
