Can you provide your height details etc. and maybe the reach of the bikes you have come from? Interested to hear your take and how much longer this is than your daily rig.

I am curious but not convinced on the massive reaches on some of these bikes.

This is my Ghetto COVID gym... If you have a garage this barely takes up more space than the two bikes that hang there when it's not in use.

Built from a couple sheets of old ply wood and a jigsaw. With a few random dumbbells and resistance bands there isn't much you cant do... Not sure how easy a bar and plates are to come by these days though...

Pretty sure “they” would prefer that people not use that trail.

Prolly shouldn't be on the map at the trail head then.....!

Anyone know anything about the double black that drops from "On the Rocks" to "Up, Up and Away" / "Pigs on the Wing"??  It's shown on the trail map board at the start of into the mystic (unnamed though) and you can see its exit low on into the mystic as well but i looked pretty hard up top and didn't see anything.......

Is it only from LeSS right now? I did some googling and came up with nothing....

Short bed works for me. I also have to drive downtown and park regularly so it makes that a whole lot easier. The only time i find myself wishing for a long bed is camping with the bikes.... The back fills up pretty quick with all the gear so requires a bike rack be used...

A Yeti ARC without a looptail is worthless.  Particularly if you want that nostalgic dentist money.

I agree. Other than the custom colors there is very little to that bike that makes me think 1993 Miles and Missy...

jesus. and i thought mountain biking was a serene oasis free of aggrosportsparents. the park certainly attracts a different crowd.

Reminds me of my brief stint racing BMX in the 90's.... Aggro parents yelling at their kids / other peoples kids / other parents.... it was a shit show.

What brands have people found to be the most scratch resistant? I find that i need a couple pairs per year due to the lenses getting trashed, so go cheaper (ryders etc) but wondering if oakley etc might have better durability in the lenses...? 

Everything fogs in the PNW.... I found the anti fog lenses scratch almost immediately as well. i generally just run them on the downhills to avoid the fog issues.,..

Also interesting that the districts have closed parking lots and parks / beaches which are free to access, yet seem completely fine with opening golf courses and have no issue with those parking lots being jammed when a substantial fee is involved....

not a Traslin but i saw a guy riding up with his skiis strapped to his bike on Sunday.

Whats troubling is how interestingly it all went down when one takes a step back. For half a week reports of arson and people being charged with offense's circulate and then within the span of 16 hours roughly "its all" disproven and shit like the last few pages happens. So there's that trouble and then the trouble of those who blindly believe the disproof. So really, it's all the same and no reason to get that bent out of shape about.

If arson was involved in some, most or all of these fires doesn't really matter. Has the the percentage of fires attributed to arson ramped up over the past 10, 20 years? Why are these fire's so bad? Are the arsonists just getting really good at setting fires? Or are the conditions just making their f'ed up thrills easier.

Find me a report that covers that and then there is something to talk about.  Arson has always played a huge role in Australia's bush fires, to the point where that is typically what is presumed by the public.
