Huh...

[bvibert]

Just had a hankering to go for a nice warm MTB ride. That doesn't happen too often in the winter. Too bad I have no time, or a working bicycle...

Oh well, back to fantasizing about powder runs...

Almost time to start thinking about getting that whip operational again. Riding season will be here before you know it!

Yeah, already thinking about it. Although I think riding season may not start until June by the time all this snow melts and the resulting mud dries out...

 

[WoodCore]

You've got a point there! Might be relegated to some rail trails or the road to get the legs ready for the single track when it dries up in June!

What happened to your bike, did you break the HT frame also?

I found what I think is a hair line crack in the frame, need to bring it to the bike shop to see if that's what it is... and get a warranty frame if so. Also currently without a functioning rear wheel... Aside from that everything is peachy.

Bummer!

Is the rear wheel still under warranty?

I am just waiting for some drive train parts I bought off of ScrubLover and my new HT will be ready to roll. Also need to install the heavier spring I just got for the fork.

Funny this thread popped up....I had the exact feeling yesterday. It could be all the warm weather. (It was nearly 40 and gorgeous out)

I love ski season with all my heart but for some reason, I really felt like riding.

I did get a chance to watch a documentary this past week:

It might be what triggered the urge also.

Sent inquiries, but herd nothing back. Guess I'm done with Azonic...

That's pretty weak!

I am pretty happy with my Hope Pro2 Hubs. Just not sure if they could stand up to your size / power.

I almost hate to admit it, but I'm looking forward to getting out on the bike. Got a chain guide, some new tires and a trued rear wheel. Can't wait to try a few things with the GoPro and post up more POV suckage. Huzzah!

I mentioned to Brian a few weeks ago, I had a strange MTB urge. Been way too long for me. Looking forward to getting back out this year.

 

[deadheadskier]

Looking forward to that myself.

I might have to look into a road bike and some spandex this year!

MTB season is going to take a while to get going this spring with all the snow pack. There's probably 6" or more of liquid equivalent in there. We're going to actually have a mud season down here this year.

I guess it's like the ski urge you get in August.

My wife and I were just talking about riding the other day. In the next few weeks I've got to start tune-ups , new tires etc, and install the new carbon fork on the tandem.

I love it when you can ride and ski on the same day or weekend in late March and April

 

[Grassi21]

Had a similar urge.... but for lax. My club team starts playing on march 6, the hs season starts march21... and i am considering going out to vail for a club tourny in late june. sucks my first visit to CO might be to play lax.

paging 2knees for his obligatory lax bashing.

You know it! That and lots of rail trail riding with the family. Thinking about putting slicks on my HT. ;-)
