That is a big ass climb! Around here in NJ best you can usually find is ~1200 feet per 10 miles. I just followed you on strava - looks like you have some amazing riding out there!

Great thread! Just found it. I've been riding mountain bikes forever. Here's my profile on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/kelly_christensen

Not a lot of riding lately because I'm recovering from a broken tailbone. It's cool to see the connection between RC and mtb/moto etc.

I just watched this. Pretty damn cool. I'm guessing the RC races were Mark Weir's idea. He's a huge RC nerd.

I saw that on Pink Bike too and was wondering the same thing.

Anyone getting into the 29er+ category? I just bought a gravity 29plus from BD. Pretty nice bike for the money.

I've been on 29ers since 2007. I bought my first 29er on a whim because Jensen was blowing out Jamis hardballs. I figured I'd get one to pull the kids around in the trailer.

I rode that 29er for about a month and sold my 26 inch wheel bikes. I'm now on my 5th 29er since then. Never going back. Too used to the way they fit me and the way they roll. 26 inch wheels feel like BMX wheels now.

Surly Ice Cream Truck on the way!

Sweet ride! I've always wanted to try a fatty. (insert joke here)

Are you using it as an all around trail rig or just for snow, mud, sand, etc?

Rock Crawler!

 

[johnnyh66]

And the local trails... but mostly on the rocks is where I wanna play.

 

[hpiguy]

Nice! Congrats Johnny.

picked up a specialized hard rock and pursuit helmet for 200, gotta love pawn shops.

long story short, the huffy was just a pain to ride, nothing felt right riding it and it was just discouraging. my brother came over and was impressed with my weight progress (down 60 since february) and i see this as an investment. not so much in the bike, though deals are nice, but in my health. due to the nature of gravel roads and people not paying attention, the full helmet was a prudent purchase.

 

[johnnyh66]

Finished!

I don't like the cut of your jib!

Yeah, I'm sure there will be some adjustment after a couple rides.
Going to take it out to fhe lakefront today. "thumbsup"
