Wow, Finn's time was fastest on the day.

Sounds like I need to put Grannies on my bucketlist for when I come to Vancouver this summer (from Denmark). Is there somewhere I can find video/fotos from Grannies? Just to make sure I have the skills.

Here's a POV ride-through (beware the GoPro effect, the trail is steeper than it appears on video) :

There's a note on Trailforks for Floppy Bunny that someone observed it closed on Oct 1.  It's still got the sign up as of today, but no closure posted to Trailforks.  Any word on what's going on in there?

The Creekside gondola is closed for the season, unfortunately.  The last day of operation for the summer was September 16th.

This little dude is missing - Brit properties, Cypress.

If found or spotted 778-996-1888

Unfortunately this didn't end so well. :(

Tweed was found Saturday night, unfortunately the outcome was not what we had hoped. She went to rest in the forest and her soul is at peace. Sorry for the delay in posting. We have all been saying our goodbyes. Please say a word for her. We were so blessed to have her in our lives. Xoxo

Not a crash per se, but I am really considering leg guards with shin pads these days...

Strange thing is, they used to make an aluminum preload collar, but changed to that crappy nylon one for some reason. I always buy a few extra when I am ordering stuff, cuz they seem to crack if you look at them wrong. At least they are cheap.

For the low, low price of $29 USD, Cane Creek will sell you an aluminum preload collar that fits Cinch cranks: http://www.canecreek.com/product/crank-preloader/

I knew I had seen another aluminum one out there. Thanks for that. So you can buy 10 of the crappy plastic ones, or this one from Cane Creek.  Seems you have to bond a gold ring to your spindle first to use the CC one though.

Seems the gold thread ring is for SRAM setups only.  The Race Face one does not require its use: http://www.canecreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Cane-Creek-PreLoad_03_22_18-FINAL.pdf

Unless I'm misreading.

A bit greasy in sections, but otherwise pretty good.  With the warmth today, should be excellent tomorrow.

I rode Bobsled, Floppy, and Expresso (Upper).  All three were pretty similar with slick sections.

And what is the story on that house?  This week a lot of trees and brush were cut on the left side, so seems that getting ready to do some work on it

The tree work wasn't on the property, but there was a sign up indicating they were cleaning up the woods as an anti-forest fire measure.

Race Face Atlas causes numbness. Just tried a Chromag Mood DT, which I think is worse. The search continues.

I decided to change my bike park warm-up lap on Saturday from the usual B-Line/Funshine/Blueseum to Fantastic/CIU/C-More/Family Cross. Two turns into Fantastic I somehow manage to wash the front tire out and slam my heel and elbow into the rock resulting in nice bruises. Usually when I crash first lap the day is a write-off, but somehow managed to get back into it and have a great day. Minor crash compared to others in this thread but it definitely had me shaking my head.

Crashes happen on the first lap!  It's the prophecy the signs under the lift foretold.  

I had a fairly low speed crash on Kirkford on the weekend.  The alternate line with a wooden steep into a right hand turn into a second wooden feature that's much less steep.  Half pedaled out of the first steep and caught my foot/pedal on the tall root that's there.  Sent me off the side, half over the bars.  No real injury, but I ripped my new Sugoi waterproof shell.  :-\
