I was so out of it I couldn't remember if there was a fire ban or not last year in that area but I was worried about myself and making it through the night so I dug a hole in the dirt and circled it with rocks and started a small fire, crawled in my bivy and curled up around it and could not get...

I know it's a tough pill to swallow Christophe...but try not to dwell on this. That trail is not going anywhere and this effort is not indicative of you in any way. A week before I was to start last year I came down with a sore throat and went to my doctor and told her I thought I had Strep...

Does anyone know Christophe THAT well? His SPOT has not moved in a long time now and still shows him in Breck. I'm thinking he didn't power it down and re-start it after 24 hours and now it's stopped tracking. Does hew know how they work? Anyone?

Oh I know a locker is nice but even my 96 Jeep Cherokee with 33's and 5" lift didn't ever get stuck. We just don't do that type of trail.

My wife and I are looking to get rid of our 2001 Jeep Cherokee and get an XTerra. She had a 2WD first generation one when we first started dating and really liked it. I really don't know much about them and am having a hard time finding any good resources out there. We're looking at 2008ish...

Some of you might recall last summer when I entered the Colorado Trail Race and was taking donations for the Livestrong foundation. Unfortunately my rear hub locked up about 5 miles south of Marshal Pass and I was forced to abandon the race. I will be racing again this year but I am not raising...

I prefer tubeless with Stans. I'm a pretty light guy so even in my tubed 29er I routinely run 22psi but have tubeless wheels on the way for that and will be able to get by with less. IMO it's just a better ride. However, if I was living down there I'd be riding that setup for better flat...

I just found this and have already consumed almost a pot of coffee looking at it and the back issues. Great photos. www.catch magazine.com

Indeed. What a cool story. I can't wait to go explore more trails on my bike this summer.

Sorry...been busy lately and didn't check back. PM sent.

Just a suggestion with regard to the route Funrover... I'm up in Woodland Park and I ride that stretch A LOT. I'd steer clear of 24 as much as possible. There's a real nice way to leave 24 just after Divide and avoid all but 5 miles of it until you roll into Hartsel. Lemme know if you want more...

I need to get a 29er SS frame/fork and take all my SS stuff off the 26 and build one up. I'll probably get a Niner for that but part of me would really like to build up the Alma that way.

I was working for GT when Richard passed and still with them when they were bought out. I still remeber the day they announced the buy out. I left shortly after that. It was amazing how things turned around and went downhill. Of course I had several Zaskars over the years but I liked my...

I threw in the towel and took the whole works to a driveline shop. It'll be done in the morning. Can't wait to have THEM do the front shaft.

I don't have a welder here and, in fact, the yoke just broke so I guess I'm buying a newy yoke now. This repair really should not have been this difficult. I'm a bit disappointed.

Hey everyone, I have a rear RE driveshaft that needed u-joints. I got replacements and started putting them in and decided that while I was there I might as well do the centering ball as well. I removed the dust seal but I could not get the old CB out. I finally did get the ball out but the...

So how was the trail man? I just got back from the Crested Butte 100.

I really like the Moots Comooter. Flounder did you see the Kona Honky Tonk? I really heart that bike but I don't know any shops that sell them.

After Leadville my food looked a bit different than when I left Waterton Canyon. I always had a decent amount of GU's, bars, and Clif shot blocks. I also took several dehydrated meals. I started off just eating the dinners all the time but I found I really dug the breakfast ones in the morning...

You're totally right Dave...sorry. That makes so much sense now. Thanks for catching that. It was such an amazing trip. Obviously my primary goal was to win. I don't know that I've ever not wanted to win when getting on a bike. After day one it became clear that this was going to be a matter...
