1. Just because it hasn’t rained for 3 weeks, and you haven’t needed to wear more than a t-shirt and shorts for weeks, doesn’t mean it won’t decide to thunderstorm just when you get dropped off at the top of 1150m singletrack descent.
2. Never believe what you read on the internet: mud, hail, rock gardens, talus and steep drops does not equal ‘fast and flowy’.
3. Tubeless is great, until tear your tyre open on a rock.
4. No one ever carries the tools required to put a crank back on, even if you can find the crank nut.
5. With a 2-stroke petrol powered blender you can go from Zero to Margarita in Three Seconds
They were some damn good Margaritas!
Big thanks to Jeff and Chad for taking care of the travel and logistics and Ryan, Josh and the rest of “The Crew” for the drinks and entertainment afterwards.
sounds like you needed a drink after that
Hope the bike is okay! Send me your next address (MONTANA? BANFF?) and I’ll make sure some new tunes are waiting there for you.

Crikey, that track sure bent up those bikes ;^)
