Whoever decided to change the logo to SHRED needs to be fired from a big cannon.

Go the other way? Pick yourself up a less capable bike, and ride that on rides with your girl. 

I've done this quite a bit, worked out really well.

This is the greatest idea in the history of mtb.

9, taping rocks. ★★★★★

Wow, stoked to see the "One Dolla" guy from Hawaii in Matt's Murrica video! I wonder how they connected?

For as many years as I've been riding I've irrationally lusted after what ever model of bike Wade Simmons is on…and here we go again. The smoothness just goes right into my brain!

Is there anywhere that's not dealing with effects of global warming?

In Hawaii, different place similar deal though here it's also the increased mosquito population at elevation.

More powerful hurricanes and bizarre flash floods are the immediate threat for the human population locally, but yeah we're on the front lines of climate change for all kinds of new crap.

/\Yup, area I live in is near the top of the list for threatened species of birds.

The unfolding negative effects of global warming that nobody has predicted is what's most frightening. In my area the warming ocean has slowed the predominant wind pattern, bringing less moisture to higher elevations, causing deforestation. We've already lost species.

Thankful for the positive influence he had on all those kids he coached. You did well in this world Jordie, RIP.

Hi

I like that you stayed on message.

Ah, cheers. Bike comes stock with decent 2.3 dhf/dhr Minions. By going with 2.4 Rekon, 2.3 Rekon Race though I'd drop half a pound rotating mass.

Tallboy was #1 champagne choice, but having beer budget went with a 115mm Trance.

Anybody use Maxxis Rekons? I've just ordered a short travel trail bike and looking at options.

There was an Uncle Dave interview here a while back with someone from marketing at Maxxis and he was keen on the Rekons.

...trying to achieve the same fork nirvana with the lyrik. 

After a couple of months of casual faffing with my Lyrik, adding more air pressure than recommended was what took the fork from good to perfecto.

Bicicletta W Van had them in stock last couple times I was back home in Van

I've been vegetarian/pescatarian for most of my life. It's pretty fricken easy honestly.

As long as your knowledge of dietary needs is broader than a meat industry marketing slogan it's pretty hard to screw up.

Have to agree. September has been a breeze. 

On to October.

👊 Well done my brother!

How's it going?

I’ve gotten buyers to meet me just north of the border (e.g. in the parking lot of the Campbell River Store). They’re importing it to the US so let them deal with it.

Easier to get back across if you sell it to him dirty? 

I wonder how the weekend Whistler hordes get their bikes back over the U.S. border without hassles.

I had the full customs shakedown once bringing my (U.S. purchased, no less) bike over the U.S. border. They wouldn't even accept the U.S. bike shop receipt I had with me.
