Sweet. Thanks!
Did you ride today? Hell, yeah, I did! First ride of the season! Haven’t been on the bike since last October. Six months! Fortunately, I have been on the spin bike 4x weekly.
Legs felt great, but first two or three minutes, was wondering why it was so hard to breathe.
Once, past that, just spanked the ride.
I’ve had this Pivot Mach 429 for 9 years now. I keep it well maintained, and retune fork and suspension off season. It still rides like it’s brand new. Best bike I’ve ever ridden.
Dang. Great morning.

It got a little wet and wild shortly after I took this pic on my ride today
Also went out and got wet n wild today. Had to sneak a ride in before the next round of snow rolled in. Light rain/snow the whole ride but the trails soaked it up nicely and it wasn't too muddy. 10 miles with 2k on the ol monocog. Changed my gearing from 30x18 to 30x20 and really loving it.

We need to see a line up of your fleet. Nice Japhy! I’ve got one too.
Same ride as Friday, but faster. 
A very light rain last night helped to keep the leaves sticking to the trail. More traction, less fear of wiping out, equals mo’ betta.
Out again tomorrow or Wednesday on a different loop.

I saw this on yesterday evening's ride. I should have asked him to fill up my water bottle
I'll put together some photos for ya. Just have the three bikes but they're all setup to bikepack and have gone through quite a few iterations based of different trips or day ride setups
Love seeing more and more of these out there!
Rode yesterday and will again today, decompress and find inspiration from the outdoors.
ISO the best power rated hydraulic brake system out there. The pads and rotors are new, they are Shimano XTRs but it’s not the same anymore when it was new so want to get your first hand experience with the brakes you currently have or tested. pfa

That wasn't you?
Love the stripes
Nice morning , touching 80•F during the ride. Did just about 11 miles in the woods, riding at a pace usually reached in June. I was moving it, most likely due to dry trails instead of mud season this time of year.
Hauled azz most of the ride, while one long, steep grind was trying to get the better of me.

Hope we can meet up when I’m in Quincy and Tahoe in June. Go for a spin!
Ya man that'd be rad! Are you riding lost and found?Hope we can meet up when I’m in Quincy and Tahoe in June. Go for a spin!
Current plan to ride the 60 with Cam and Emily and his Quincy crew. But man. I am out of shape and working every weekend right now trying to get my engine conversion done and run a LC business short on staff.
I’m 50/50 whether I’ll be in a position to ride LnF. I’m 50/50 whether my rig will be done to get to NorCal in time for LnF. My real goal is Rubithon. But regardless, I’ll be in your neck of the woods for at least a 2-3 week period.
I’m still going to do a lot of riding. I’ll have my Falconer drop bar and my Revel full sus.
Right on, I'll def be around! I'm in North lake so you'll pass right by on the way from Quincy to the Rubicon
Got a two-fer in yesterday in between running errands. Been loving the rigid fork on the the Japhy now that I've put some miles on it. Totally fine not having suspension for the cross country and lots-o-climbing rides I like to do. 20 miles and +2100'
Sneaking in a couple days of bike commuting before the next round of rain/snow.
