trail - er - park

I only recently came to the party, very late .... never much of an early adopter ... But I can tell you it's been huge fun for me,riding it in tech terrain, rock gardens, loose climbs,etc. Like any hard tail (after one is spoiled with long travel dual sus machines) line choice and body steering are more engaging and the ability to bomb varied trails has been surprising. So my experience has been that you ride it where you want to with a big grin cos it's not to be limited and pigeon-holed to just sand / snow. Of course it needs to be bike number 3 or 4 as I will still use my trail / XC rides more ..... but I have found that I ride it in places I never expected to cos it exceeds expectations ... and is FUN!

Live it to the fullest! And ride it like you stole it!!

Whether MTB or Road I find that I can sustain longer / harder efforts in the 85-95 range rather than grinding a bigger gear.

Got sweaty palms just looking at the pic .....

Congrats to Michele! What a great initiative.

Gotta find a way to keep building that fleet ...... I'm personally grooming my kids for a life of indentured labour ...

Looks like one too many hits on that Jeffsy pipe ..... that'll teach him!

Decisions ... decisions ... Nomad / Hightower ....? What a nice problem that would be In it!

Wishing you guys massive success!

What a hidden gem in the big smoke! Hard to figure why more folk don't do this. Action-packed route with something for everyone, from rocks to forests to rivers to climbs. Brilliantly marked route, great marshaling, warm hospitality from the locals .... Definitely underestimated how tough this would be. Will train properly for next year - this is going to become a calendar fixture.

In it .... 1st time. Hoping this will stave off the winter hibernation

According to the SMS: The Convention Centre at Emperors. 19 - 22 Apr between 10:00 and16:00.

Brilliant.

Ridiculousness!

Spectacular! Which area / event?

One of the best! Such honest simplicity. Thanks Dale.

That reflection in the water is spectacular!

Just received my order today - efficient service, great quality, go-faster stripes .... everything to like!

Not to be missed! Great vibe.

Hope you spanked yourself hard the whole ride ...!! Biatch!

Marathon was pretty flat and dusty but well organised. A fun morning out for sure. A few folk struggled and bailed in the thick sand but were fortunately not hurt. Nice to burn off some Winter blubber

Innit! Marathon should be fun if moderate climbing is factual.
