Got to do a better April fool joke then this

Bad flu season around my area, I'm sick for two weeks. This season suck even weather is good in California

Gwin/Intense brought us together this morning, now trail building/trump wall/Gov shut down torn us apart

I live in LA and ride there once awhile. I clearly remember this event and follow the news and learn as much as possible at that time. One very important fact that the article and people's comment didn't elmphasize is that the day this event happened, it was a stormy day. The weather was unstable throughout the day, and was worst during evening (heavy rain, wind, and snow/frost at high elevation). In short, rescuer's safety is also important that's why search/rescue mission has to be postponed until next day. I also stated a few facts that I learn from various news in other comment section (within this page), you can read it by searching my user name.

I live in LA and ride there once awhile. I remember the news a few years back, and I follow up the news as much as I could to learn more about it back then. The key points I remember is based on various news article at that time: 1. He ride alone and he had been there before 2. The storm was coming and weather was unstable throughout that day 3. He didn't bring any food 4. He called his wife as he wasn't able to find his way back somehow 5. Recuse mission couldn't happen due to bad weather 6. He was on his bike when he was found dead I used to host group ride so I try to learn from other people experience and use it to educate new member, and this event is a life lesson for many. In this case, I think the rider is responsible for his own safety when riding in extreme weather and we cannot expect fireman or rescuer (who also has family member and loves ones) to risk their life in these condition to perform a searching mission.

I actually like it especially the weight thing. Only thing I don't like is the flush headtube and stem. I have a Look 675 road bike using the similar concept... The Con is that limited stem option can be used; and falling/crashing the stem will hit the frame (they just use a spacer to avoid contact in Look 675) especially MTB has more chances of impact.

Another way to obsolete the current frame... Good job -_-"
