One day you will be bringing your kids and they'll be pretty happy to have such a badass dad to take them biking, then you'll be out at Kicking Horse!

Well, the new forks are on the bike and went for it's first ride this morning. The new Fox 36 Talas is as smooth as butter. The one thing is that it didn't make me a better rider...



This is on Mt. Fromme in NV just at the trail head. Sorry for the quality of the pictures but they were taken with my phone.



On the ride up.



Some of the fun.



And more fun. This is a rock roller coaster. Again, sorry for the poor pics.

I feel that even if you aren't that good, you need to look good doing it.

I tell folks I make up for my lack of skill with cartoony sound effects. It all evens out.

That's one sweet rock garden, looks like a lot of fun.

Anyone headed over to Whistler for Crankworx this weekend? Alas, I went last year and I can only sort of afford one big bike trip about every 2 years or so, but a bunch of guys I know are probably already most of the way there by now.

I limped along for two years on the old one. My wife was the one to tell me to quit whining about it and buck up and buy a new one.
