I've been using the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2's for the last several years. I think I'm on my 3rd set?? I haven't used any other brands because they have just worked amazing in Vancouver's version of slush/wet snow.

It wasn't "adjourned generally" his petition was struck. Gone, finito, Void Ab Initio.. See paragraph 24.

I also like paragraph 22. Apparently HC had been sending what the judge describes as "vitriolic correspondence" to the mayor, municipal clerk and Matt Bond. Sound familiar to any writings here??

How can this keep getting worse????

I've been using a Yakima Hold-up (2 bike version) for the last 4 years. It works. Holds everything from a BMX to a road bike to a DH bike. I assume the same thing can be said about the Thule or Kuats as well.

Maybe ask Julie Miller - I am sure she has a few tricks to avoid the bottlenecks.

Nice! But I knew a guy who "won" the citizen category because he got confused at the powerhouse feedzone. He was slow enough on his first pass through, that the pro men were coming through for their second feed (to be fair he did have a flat earlier). He just followed them up into Crumpit and totally skipped 9 Mile.

If you don't want to get "stuck" behind the slow people downhill, all you have to do is be in the top 100 at the top of Ring Creek Rip. Most racers at this end are pretty decent descenders or they are aware enough to let you through if you ask. Of course, your mileage may vary.

So anyone think this might work?

nope.

I fractured my C7 vertebral body in a bad OTB digger back in late 2010. 2-1/2 months off work while in a neck brace (but no halo or surgery required). Back riding trails in 4-1/2 months after the crash. I think I have lost a little bit of range of motion, but it is not enough to bother me. I don't recall any restrictions on activities once I was cleared to ride. The neurosurgeon seemed pretty happy with how it all healed up.

I wouldn't ride until you get the CT scan. My initial x-rays only showed a very small chip on C6. The CT scan showed much more broken C7. That resulted in an instant call for the neurosurgeon and a 2 night stay in hospital strapped to a spineboard.

Just wondering if it's possible in a pinch ie. trail side repair (your buddy only has a 10 spd chain in his pack) etc.

Dunno about running a full 10-speed chain, but I just use a 10-speed quick link on my 11-speed set-up (Shimano). It works fine.

Search for "Pin vise"

Lee Valley has them

Acklands Grainger has them as well.

Dunno if they come with a set of bits though.
