After having to warranty three thule UpRides someone finally mentioned to look into 1up. Ordered their flush mount for my aero bars. I'm hoping the no plastic construction is miles better than the piece of junk thule has been.

that was nuts. Also, I really enjoyed the choice of gorpo settings and camera position. I felt like I was along for the ride on this one.

Early adopter of a fully revved Trail pistol. I have to say that my experience with GG as a whole has been really positive. I decided to go with them due to the bikes being made in the USA and all the great things I heard about their customer service. My Trail Pistol is extremely capable but I do with I knew about the Pistola option at first. I definitely would have went with that instead. I ended up getting a new shock myself and bumping my pike up to 150. The bike is great for my current riding conditions and checks all the boxes. There have been a few bumps in the road but GG has always stepped in eventually to sort things out. I do believe that they are a company that will make things right if the fault is their own. Also I just got an email that they are fulfilling orders in 1-2 weeks....which is kind of absurd considering the current market. Final note: I am anxiously waiting for a fully revved gnarvana so I can get some new seatstays and finally utilize the modular platform.

Another week of thoughts: - For anyone who recognizes it...Happy thanksgiving. - Blind Run? Doesn't Emmet have a decent amount of big white experience? This was brought up a few times earlier in the season but we aren't going to touch that this episode...? - Damn, nice time from Laura. - Cam saved that flat pretty well, could have gone way worse. - I completely disagree with the decision to send cam home. I figured it would happen eventually but this just feels weird that both Alaina and Kyra are still here. Comparing split times? Weren't kyra and alaina 10 seconds back on that same split? Alaina was 17+ seconds off the back of the top rider. Meh, I'm going to go eat some food. edit: last thought: - Why haven't we seen a multistage enduro challenge? I guess we kind of saw it once but is that really the same? Can we not simulate a full day of racing?

@WasatchEnduro: someone is going to miss the sarcasm and get really upset. better watch out.

Thoughts: - 3 Minutes in and we get Cody complaining about San Diego elevation. Nice job PB editors. - Has Camerons bike always been that level of hot pink?? It looks especially hot and especially pink this week. - Props to Laura for not dying. That would have been a gnarly crash. She took the win also! nice. - Alaina should win the "best style at the elimination challenge" award. - Cody with the cherry on top with saying "its not fair" after getting the axe. - Maybe Cody will watch this series back and realize what a butthead he looks like. Maybe we will get some spicy tweets or instagram posts out of him??

@mechaNICK: I think season 1 ben was a prime example of this but I am not confident Cody falls under that category. Ben's interviews always had an "attitude" but it never came out during the challenges. Cody....appears to be acting the same during the challenges and interviews which hints that it could just be his personality.

@sorryiamtheboss: No this is a fair point. You can't blame San Diego for your poor fitness. This can be trained anywhere and you don't even need a bike for it.
