There's potentially a sufferfest pedal planned for one day so you may need it...

I have the Hardtail and dad has an Sworks enduro at my disposal, so I am actually considering a Specialized turbo Levo..


Where I live, I have hundred of miles of badass moto trails and some badass high mtn lakes and ridges that are 7k+ ft and 40+ mile rides from the house... I could do full day death Marches but an ebike seems like such a better option.. Plus it keeps me from buying a KTM for a little longer..

Problem is... If I buy a KTM... Then I buy a timber sled kit. Trying to avoid spending 10k+ this year.


And ebike makes bunches of sense for where I am.

I think that third weekend there may be a wedding I’m invited to, but keep me posted... Leavenworth vs San Diego is a tough one.

Kickass Bavarian town with rad riding or some Cali town with entirely too many people...

Easy choice to me.. Haha

I definitely agree with that. The wedding though would be a lot of fun. But mountain biking is more fun for sure. Leavenworth is also closer to Ashland than San Diego, and would probably cost me less!

The spouse is always the wildcard in situations like that... I know that the times I have skipped weddings to go skiing and biking, I didn't get any night riding in for a few days.. Lol

Got to meet up with Chad from Corvid Cycles here in Washington for his gathering Conspiracy PNW. Chad is a super nice guy, makes awesome bikes and came to shred some of the snarliest trails we have to offer. This zone is steep and janky AF. that coupled with a month of rain made this a proper PNW event. I didn't get as many shots as I set out to, only because there was a pro on the ride and figured he would do a far better job than I.... but here's a couple of sick bikes and shots of the one hectic spot I stopped to grab a pic. (oh and tit certainly wasn't because this tree stump combo decided to grab my bar end and threaten my nuts with total castration) Somehow I stepped over the bike and it just worked out.
