Bear left onto Foothills Road.
Parking area is on the right.



Trev and I were thinking 12:30, do you guys want to start even earlier?

No earlier, I want my beauty sleep.

I guess we are on for 12:30.....so Austin can get his Beauty sleep.

If you guys want to do 12:00 or even earlier let me know.

 

[MR. evil]

I try and get that up tonight. I did preview the footage, some great stuff in there . What did the bike shop say?

At the end of the ride i had a nice crash / fall of my own. Unfortunatly Trev forgot to hit the record button.

Let's put it this way: I noticed a change in wheelbase when I put the bike on my car. Replacing the wheel is going to be the cheap part.

Did you mess up the fork or Frame?

Fork upgrade or bike upgrade? Forks ain't cheap!

There is a medium Canondale Prophet with a slew of new parts for sale on CrankFire for a nice price

Bah, not enough travel.

Fork upgrade, moving from Dart 2 to the low end Tora. While forks aren't cheap, they're cheaper than a new bike, and I'm still going to want a XC bike and go freeride with the FS next year.

After your performance yesterday you may want to hold off on the FR bike for a while

Check out CF or BikeRag for used forks to save some cash. You could always have a used fork rebuilt by a pro for around $100 if it needs it.
