When we rode in the La Grande/Baker area we didn't see those berries but we found mini strawberries that were delicious as well! I have wanted to make it to Bend SOOO bad! Also, I am planning on riding tomorrow (27th) AM either, AF canyon (parking on the Cascade side of the summit), or Deer...

We did it one conference weekend in October a few years back. i agree with all the above by Benjy. We took 100 oz plus a few gatorades in the packs and we’re fine, I also through a breakfast burrito in my bag to eat plus gummies. I don’t think we saw one person make the BP climb without...

We still have not decided on a new vehicle. I test drove a 2016 sequoia and really liked it. it Wouldn’t tow has much as the expedition but I like the reliability history of Toyota. My only problem right now is that I can not find crash ratings for the new body style. TheTundra has less then...

This! I think doing this and using the collective knowledge base is a great idea. If you don't know what size you are just say your heights and I bet we can figure it out from there.

We went and looked at this yesterday and drove it. We seemed to like it I am going to take it to a shop to get it looked at. But does anyone see any red flags on it? https://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/5641639?ad_cid=9

I have a 2015 Scott Genius that is a size large for sale $1750. I have ridden it since Spring of 2016. I have made upgrades like SRAM Guide R brakes, dropper post, Fox 36 HSC/LSC It does have the factory lock out for the rear shock but not for the fork. If you would like I will drop the...

After a fun few days at Jeep Safari and while looking for the next family vehicle I am leaning towards getting a 2017 Expedition either a short or long wheel base. From what I have seen they have checked a few different boxes for me. 5 Star Crash Tests 4wd/AWD 3 Rows (able to hold 3-4 car...

What is everyones thoughts on fitness and nutrition when it comes to biking? I lost nearly 40lbs from Feb 18 - Sept 18. And I have bumped up a little bit but have platued at 215 since last September. I am signed up to ride the Carson City Off Road end of June and would like to be competitive on...

Have you watched Eric Porter ride? I am pretty sure he could manual from guardsman down to Midway! That guy is a manual machine!!

I built one of those manual machines over the weekend and it is pretty fun. A little bit more difficult to manual then I expected but hopefully by spring I will have it figured out! (for some reason I can't upload a .mov file to the site so hopefully the link to my instagram will work)

I pulled the trigger this weekend! I found a 2018 Instinct BC Edition in blue and black. I think its a gorgeous bike! I am excited to go play on it tomorrow I am planning on going mid morning to Eagle Mountain (its the only thing that is dry I bet). I think I am either going to go with the...

What color are they?

Awesome, thanks Steve! I guess I have limited experience riding different frames, how do you tell the differences on frames? I always thought a bike with a fox 36 160mm, dpx rear and a head angle of 65 and a seat angle of 75 would all ride about the same.

What do you like about it? Where did you pick it up at?

I agree! I don't know if it is really possible with them being a D2C company. I agree! I have worried about that big of bike holding back my skill development, but I find myself having more fun each ride and see my times getting faster on Strava segments. I do find myself waiting for my riding...
