20 minutes on the throttle at Mach-9 and the gear will be dry,,, I did this same thing when living in the mountains of bc when I was a sled-dude...

A person gets crafty when living off grid,,, I need too do more of it fore-sure !!!

I'll catch a easy trail today...

I had a great sleep as it dipped down too 12c threw the night...

20240908_141531.jpg


Low pressure 29'ers or fat tires if a person wants too run the sand pockets,,, 92 ish % is hard pack...

A few climbs back there,,, hike a bike or bring e-assist...

There's lots of sections for easy rolling...

And its 4 minute's out of Rocky Mountain House...

Stage out of Twin lakes camp ground,,, lots of parking or unload off of hwy 11 ditch

I'm definitely hitting up that area and a few other ( Wild-cat trails) in the area...

Lots of rollys if a person can get a run at them...

Trail dusters on a few turns and switch-backs... lol

Don't fear broken brake leavers

I got 1 low-ball offer for the Grapefruit so I'll keep it and ride...

One thing about the analog is it's lite and nibble

I dropped it off at my fiends shop for a work-over and a few add-on's,,, hopefully a few more rides before the snow flys...

The fall temps have been fantastic this year ,,, I hope that others got a chance too get out there and take it in...

Be'ing out there is good for the soul...

Yuppers,,, I thinn'ed out a few bikes and been organizing my shed too accommodate pedal-bike crap...

I'll drop off the Flying-Pig for the winter tune-up next week...

Spoke tension and brakes,,, I'll run the cake-eaters this season then switch over too the 45 Norths...

I don't mind drifting the icey corners once in awhile,,, but I find it wizer too too hook-up too the road surface'es and icey down-hill decents on the bush trails...

Frozen tree root section's are fun too practice on,,, they get a person puck'ered up rolling into them with tight switch-backs

Ahhhh yes,,, I'm positive the 2024/25 season will be a blast...

My telly so far is:
- 15.000 kms in transport too staging-area (s)
- $2000 ish all in with fuel be'ing that alot of the further rides were paided for...
- Just closing in on my 2000 bike-miles with 100 ish rides ...

A slow start this spring too early summer...
The winter miles worked out...

Got too run,,, get things at work sorted and maybe catch a evening ride if it rains,,, hopefully they get Grapefruit dialed in...

Cheers Gang

The 29'ers shine on the rutt'ed section's,,, way less pedal-strikes...

This log cross-ing didn't go as planned... vvv
20240911_151219.jpg


I had too hike 1 or 2 climbs which is ok,,, it definitely helps too keep me mobile...
20240911_151515.jpg


Everything checked out on the 300 mile service,,, spokes were spot on,,, my friend threw on a new chain being that the cassette is well within spec...

I failed too tell you folks about the clay trail and rock thing too get the chain too function,,, next time I'll find a creek or river to splash the chain for cleaning... lol... it got streched by evil-doing's

Normal they do a chain and cassette replacement at the same time,,, I had too buy a replacement dropper-post because the original unit end'ed up on my e-bike...

Yuppers,,, I'll get the use out of this analog bike,,, mostly local stuff,,, a few trips too the citys,,, out-west and bc for a few rides when I can...

Got too run,,, I'm chasing rain clouds in hopes of catching up... lol
