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.

So Tony was bragging about his day spent on Moose Mountain on Facebook the other day I was extremely hurt to have not received my invitation to ride with him. Must have gotten lost in the mail for it never arrived. I know I didn't miss the mailman, I waited on the front step all day.

I know a lot of us ride I think it would be pretty cool to get together at Moose Mountain one weekend next year. If anyone is interested from Edmonton I have room for four guys and four bikes and the gear. (I knew there had to be a good reason for me buying a station wagon!)

I'm asking now to give everyone A LOT of notice....

A video Tony posted from Moose, looks like most of the obstacles have ride arounds for those not interested in hurting themselves!

I'll post this in the other thread too.

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.
