Any Bike Riders Out There?

Great ride today at Demo. I think I was 5 seconds off my fastest time ever, which is good considering it was really dry out there and it seemed a lot more beat up. There were a few times I had to slow down and pick my line a bit more since things seemed really rough.

Alex, let me know if you ever want to go ride there. I'm not too fast of a rider so it should be a nice easy pace.
 
Got my bike. Hitting the trails on Saturday!

I just push/hike up normally. Smaller front chainring does help though. I didn't go this past weekend, but I went the two before. It's dry up there, but I'm still fast as hell. Unfortunately I lost my strava time from a week ago, but it felt like a personal best. It's pretty blown out though, but nothing you can't adjust to after one ride down to learn the new lines. I just wish I could do more than one loop, but I'm always too exhausted. Barely even made it back to my car last time, and it's so hot now.
 
Met up with a buddy in Sonoma today. Fun little ride down.

Great video Stu and an awesome ride down, thanks for posting it up.

There were a ton of mtn bikers just outside of Moab, Utah the other day. looked like some kind of big event.

Car was near the bottom from there, I just didn't record the last part since it's kinda boring. You actually ride out through a vineyard. We walked up first and then rode down, which was nice.

My whole family is BMX. My oldest brother was #2 in the nation. So I naturally am a bike rider as well. I am currently on a road bike. Cannondale Synapse.

My other brother rode his ride bike from Florida to California and it is all documented on his site PedalTheGlobe.com

His Freind he was riding with ended up passing away and he finished the trip in his honor to raise money and more.

If you get the chance please read the story and check his site out. I'm pretty sure there is a forum on there too:) thank you guys!:)

I have a new arrow going in the quiver soon. DW link is all I'm saying.

No way...I'm XC/Trail all the way. This is my trail bike that I also race, so the overall weight is important.
