Any one else here go mountain biking?

[ferrebee88]

I can't wait to get out on the trails tomorrow morning! I'm not much of a dirt jumper but I do love cross country trails with the occasional jumps! My knees aren't so great anymore, so I opted for full suspension.

Nice! More of a road bike guy myself nowadays, but still get on the mtb every now and then and mix things up.

 

[ferrebee88]

I try to stick to the cross country trails and maybe hit small jumps. I have way too muchbyo lose hitting the bigger jumps. I am terrified of breaking bones at this point in life...

I keep it as simple as possible; my body doesn't like it anymore.
I keep it street and rails to trails.

I have a carbon Devinci Troy. I live about 30 miles from one of the 10 best places to mountain bike in north Amarica, Galbraith WA. I'm 62 so I don't have many seasons left. When I can't walk away from a bar tosser I'll have to find a new hobby. Or maybe drive my trucks more.

I am down in Gig Harbor, WA, so I stick to the 360 Trails. One of these days I will make it out to Duthie Hill.

I'm starting to MTB! I just finished fixing up my 1999 Kona Cindercone.

I like that Marin.

@RLB454
That photo is a beaut!

I used to thrash the 7000 hard back in the day. I stopped trail riding regularly around 2015.
I converted it to old man mode a few years ago but if I am honest, I like riding the department store special. I picked it up on clearance for peanuts.

I used to love GT's back in the dayz. My buddy growing up had a yellow and blue Outpost with blue tires.

The 29er is so comfortable for everyday use. I did trail ride it a few times, probably 2016/2017 for a few sessions with the boys but it's pretty heavy. I like to be able to move a bike around more easily.

I just started a couple years ago. I've been trying to get my kids into it. I went with a 27.5.

I more gravel bike than MTB, we have a lot of gravel trails here. I have both a gravel and my MTB. I had two mtb's. Sold my carbon and kept this SIR9 that I painted with a Zelda theme and solely run single speed. I find it fun to race single speed while everyone is running gears

Max credit to you!
I use my gears on the street LOL

I used to have all these cycling stickers from a friend of mine, they said like "One F******* Speed" and like "Rather be riding then in a coffin"

I couldn't deploy them or I would be a poser LOL

Even though the first outing on the Enduro Comp wound me in an emergency room (I pushed the limits of physics)... one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I used to ride every day in the woods on trails... not so much anymore.
Wife and I are planning to do Rails To Trails thing just as I type this.

I used to race xc and dh. Now I ride with my kids on easy stuff. I think it's been about 3 years since I did any decent dh. I slowed down a little after a bad injury 14 years ago. I'll have to find a couple pictures of my bikes, I still have a bunch.

Always love the "one f---ing speed" stickers. In lieu of those cools stickers I've got these details

Because it's SS, it is crazy lightweight. I've got a suspension seatpost on it which is so nice, I love those cans creek posts. If I ever get around to having the suspension fork serviced, I can have a "poor mans" full sus bike with it .

I'm excited to race a Duathlon with it again in a couple of weeks.

Yes! Only been doing it since 1994 That's my Ibis Ripmo. ^^^

I live in Colorado. Been golfing too much this year to ride much. Don't even get me started with the lack of snow this year for skiing. Oh well. We're getting the 6th grader up to speed on golf. She made her school's golf team, seems to enjoy it. More than bikes and RC.

Nice! What part of Co? I am in Grand Junction, it is like Disneyland for mountain biking here.
I actually dont get out on the mtb that often, as I mentioned mostly road bikes nowa days.

Here is a fun Co road bike pic

Fort Collins. For guys trips, we used to visit your side of the state twice a year. GJ, Fruita, Moab and maybe something off I25 quickie on the way/back. Spring Training and Fall Celebration. Yeah, you guys have way too much to ride. Very jealous. In a good way

I have done Pikes Peak, but it was a shuttle to the top, then we took Barr trail, etc. back to Manitou. You can have all the road you want. Bet you don't see many hikers, HA. On Barr, especially near the top? Tons.

Nice, I do an annual guys trip too, but road. Last year we did Trail Ridge road from Estes to Grand Lake, spent the night in Grand Lake, and road back to Estes next day. Such a fantastic route! We are doing Mt Evans again in June (yes, I will always call it Mt Evans), you should find some skinny tires and join us

If you get back out to this side of the hill, look me up, I'll see if I can muster up some of my old mtb race chops.
