I managed a quick 20k before work in the trails early this morning while the T° was in the mid-teens. The deer flies were relentless...

That must be nothing on a bicycle when you can run it.

...though maybe it's exactly the sort of thing I should be riding, to get skills and confidence up for being airborne

Hard one today. Dopey me decided to venture in one of the many ATV trail. I swear it was uphill both ways with large rocks, mud, many water holes and tire ruts. Needless to say, it was slow going. I had to walk the bike in some spots. The bike got a good hose down with the pressure washer.

Here's mine and my son's bike

Tambohamilton · 07-29-2022, 03:21 PM

Racing the Ard Rock enduro this weekend. Tracks are so much fun!

My AD is coming on Tuesday to pick-up my bike for a full spa performance update or... a new upgrade.

Went to the usual place.. https://www.thehydrocut.ca/ grateful for a relatively close by and well maintained single track system. I've got to get my fat ass out there more often, thanks covid weight.

Lady Jane · 07-30-2022, 10:52 AM

Kiddie MTB park. It's actually pretty good if you want to safely practice your jumps and exercise your front forks.

Run Silent · 07-30-2022, 01:07 PM

Nice downhill park day. Destroyed my elbow pads, but at least I still have elbows.

Tambohamilton · 07-30-2022, 05:52 PM

Well, I didn't ride fast but also didn't die... 180th of 331 in masters, 11th of 19 hardtails. Couldn't expect much better than that given my fitness and preparation levels!

Lady Jane · 07-31-2022, 09:50 AM

Bike or swim...? An arduous 15k.

Excited... Got a good deal on my bike and purchased a TREK Roscoe 7. Going tomorrow to get fitted. Bike should be ready Friday.

I don't ride and I know I would be way slower than this women. Maybe some will find this video cool.

We call these pump tracks, not sure if it`s universal. The idea is to go round as fast as possible without peddling by pumping the back of the rollers.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the opinions of the Pros on the Forum.
I went for my fitting early this morning and the bike is to be delivered tomorrow morning. I was going to take an actual picture but the place was a little crowded.

I got mine in Teal. Real pic tomorrow.

For sure - always need a pic on NBD!

Roscoe is a great bike - nice for trails and fire roads, but can handle a bit of chunk too with the air fork.

My 7yo daughter uses a 20" Roscoe and loves it.

You’re going to love it!! I just rolled over 100 miles on my Roscoe 7. Finally got my cockpit and seat exactly where I want them. Absolutely fantastic bike.

What pedals are those? PNW?

Yep! I love them, never used Chesters or anything but they're awesome. Had the same PNW grips and pedals on my previous Cannondale too, just a different color. I'm probably about to pull the trigger on their short stem!
