Are there any bumps at the Boyne trifecta? That is keeping me away from there (long drive too). I know Superstar will be great this weekend as long as the forecast holds.
At SR I think 3D may, but I didn't get there last weekend. Upper Vortex had some, firm last weekend but probably good now. I want to know if White Heat and Shockwave will be open this weekend, plenty of coverage on WH last weekend, and hoping they open it. Stuff bumped up nicely during the day, but not much in the way of 'real' bumps w/o WH Quad opening up.
Andy, my son in law who works there said they took off the chair pads yesterday on the white cap chair. Done for the year according to him.
Done. Back mtb'ing now. Broke the rear derailleur last night. Snapped cage right off.
How did you manage that? The actually derailleur cage or the hanger?
I hit it somewhere along the trail and was about a mile from home in the woods and heading up a hill and snap. I looked down and the cage is hanging with the chain on the ground. The hanger was still attached and bent. It was a XTR too. I replaced it with a XT though since that was the only one that REI had on hand.
Luckily it did not happen when I was 5 miles from home.
Ouch..... XT is as good as XTR these days. You should buy a XT shadow, that way it will sit tighter against the frame. I was running a standard XT and kept hitting thins and bending the derailleur so I bought the shadow style and now all is good.
Well since the season is pretty much over, maybe we should try and get a large AZ group MTB ride together. Would be good to meet some people, and get out on the trails!
Done as well. Stuff around here is dry enough to start MTBing.
I thought we should do an AZ get together at KT this summer sometime.
