i think the 1050 is a bit too big for me

I will be there!

CX season is here!

That fear only goes away with practice. Just working with a group of people you are familiar with is the best way to get over that fear.

Well the knee jerk reaction was a copperhead, but tbh I don't 100% know. We were doing over 20 mph past it and it was golden/copper in color. I wasn't about to stop and find out.

I've only used it once. While bike packing on day 3, i really felt the need for some anti-chafe. Regularly I don't though, not really a fan of the feeling.

Unfortunately, I own a lot of older kit (electronics, helmets, etc.), but I get to test ride the new stuff from time to time. My list of things I want/need: New MTB and Road shoes New helmet (mines been on the ground too many times with me in it) New CX bike New MTB New cycling headunit Not...

Just finished Gateway Cup 2024, can't wait to go back next year! Super fun event, even as a spectator! The pro's make cycling look easy for sure

It really depends. Mostly just take it down to Gabe at @Bike Surgeon SOIL so he can show me how silly i am for needing to bring it it.

I still have atleast 20 years until i get to retire, unless i find a way to come into some cash elsewhere.

Welcome back dude. Been seeing your posts, looked like a fun trip.

They are fielding questions from all of us. I mean there's talks of short track xc, olympic xc, xterra's, cx. They have options and trying to figure out what works best for them is definitely a challenge.

That's how the DSR got started so it would be cool, i just hate riding gravel. All the problems of riding mtb, slow speed and dirty, without the fun of riding mtb, jumps and what not. Idk, it's not my bag but there are a lot of people into it. Lot's of people down here really do enjoy solo...

I enjoy it if we go early enough in the day to avoid the heat. The ticks are the worst part for me. I've only ran into 1 snake on a mtb trail before, but i ran into one on the road a few times, most recently this past saturday.

They have xterra's which is lake swim, mtb ride, trail run. I would definitely prefer kayak life though

I wouldn't necessarily agree. These events are well known within the local community and are typically discussed over the course of the year. I think people realized that these organized rides aren't really worth it in the same way. We ride these roads all the time. These events are very...

Doesn't that already exist? I'm not sure where i found it though.

Next race in SoIL is a crit in Edwardsville. Definitely a great event, or at least it was last year. The whole town shows up to support the races.

I tried it before because i was battling some muscular issues, turned out to not be too little salt intake. It was okay, i think it would be too heavy for on the bike when I'm breathing out of my ears.

Depends on what you define as expensive. You can pop down to the Walmart and pick up a bike for $200 (which is ALOT for some folks) and start riding. You can stop by your LBS and pick up a nicer commuter for ~$500. For a few more bucks you can hop onto a beginner MTB or road/all road bike for...
