Are the trails y'all are hitting single speed/rigid capable? Or, are they more downhill oriented, hucking trails? I may bring my race rig if y'all are doing more cross country and climbing type of riding. 2 years ago, I rode over Cinnamon, California and Hurricane to get to Silverton from Lake City on my single-speed/rigid bike.

Last year @bluecruiser and i rode in Telluride hitting mostly the bike park. We were on full suspension trail bikes (not big hucking) and had a blast since we could use the gondola to get back to the top. Helped with our lungs. I'm totally up for doing more of a pedaling ride, just not sure how much fitness I'm packing this year.
Single speed should be fine and lots of fun.
Is Diamondback bringing any rental/demo bikes with them? (Sorry if it was asked before.)
My family is super stoked to explore that part of Colorado. We're not backing out. Even if the trails are closed, hangin' at camp with a bunch of Hundy Owners sounds pretty bada$$. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the different car mods. I can watch Ronny Dahl's "Modified" episodes all day. Will be even better, in person, with nothing but Hundy mods.

@90WT No demo bikes this trip, just the tools to work on other's bikes. There are a few shops in Telluride that rent bikes if you are looking around. Durango too.
Facebook just reminded me of where I was last year on July 18! 2 days 'til I leave for the mountains and so excited that I can't sleep

You can “demo” @74bruiser s bike. He just straps it to his truck for the outdoor lifestyle look. It’s a really nice full squish shredder too. He won’t even know it’s not there. Unless it’s photo shoot time for his rig.

Thinking I'll end up bringing my mtb. I have two options atm... what are the trails like? I can either bring my single speed salsa el mar or my hardtail ragley piglet... do I want gears?

Single speed is such good fun. In Telluride bikes can ride the gondola free so it is easy enough to get up the hill. Only reason some may want gears is the near 9,000 ft of elevation in Telluride. But if you stick to the bike park then any MTB is fun.

there is a fee for bike park usage in T-Ride now. they get you when you get off the free gondola ride. $36 a day....we will ride until i fall off bike from being too tired...that pretty much happened to me with @neilsen100 last year.....
if people want to XC ride, rather than park, that is cool. we can coordinate when we get to town to ride.

That's a sexy bike!
My SS has little tires.
Not that good for ripping single track though.

So are you trying to say that I should bring BOTH of my bikes? Maybe I will just bring my all mountain hardtail, that thing is a blast.
I can bring along my big rack too, in case we need to shuttle folks.

Coolest person you know!
Half the reason for this trip is to get away from this oppressive weather around here!
It’s been a little while since I’ve seen MWR...does that mean you are the First Shirt/Sergeant? I do not want to hear “embrace the suck”!
Heck yeah! See you next year man!
Part of me wants people to cancel...better chance in the raffle! LOL...
I’d bring my bike, but I’m fat and out of shape and it would kill me...literally.
Still looking forward to it!

Oh heck yes! I wish I had the space in my yard for a pump track.
Dirt rollers + Dirt berms + Bike = Stupid Fun.
That is a NICE ride you got there! I'll see how I can pack mine tonight and let you know. Could be fun to tool around Silverton on as well.
