Astoria MTB 3.5.25.kmz (94.1 KB)
Not sure if this will work and sure no one will care but my friend mapped out all our bootleg trails. About 13 miles!

Kinda cool of you open in google maps. Or here’s a screenshot.

This guy definitely hit the high points of Post Canyon. He missed some of the better trails further up, but 50 mi and 10k ft at Post is a lot of lapping. My biggest day is 25 mi and 4500 ft.

The CDC enduro there was about 23 miles, 4300ft. I guess then he didn’t go as far up as we did.
Do want to get back there for some fun riding.

Was the first stage Dirt Surfer? Either that or Babyheads is the trailhead that is the farthest from the parking areas.

It looked like he didn’t hit Hidden or Borderline, which was odd if he was over near Bladerunner.

Yup, Dirt surfer then babyheads.
Annoying and impressive uphill section on dirt surfer. Glad I had the ebike for those. Can’t imagine really trying to race up that meat powered.
Was kinda cool to just have the 7 miles of pedaling to start and thus break up the groups. In a very silly choice they put e-bikes last. But luckily we didn’t catch anyone until we hit the gravel road.

I don’t know what this is so I feel left out

Universal derailleur hanger. The dropout interface required to run this new rear derailleur.

I just have a UDH hanger for regular danglers.

No limit screws?? That’s trusting.

I mean, they literally designed the dropout and then supplied the sides to the der der, then their dangler only moves between it as planned.

Poll too binary, needs don’t know/only when drunk

Sure, but they didn’t design the hub or aftermarket casettes

Currently there are no aftermarket cassettes.

Hence trusting the aftermarket won’t fuck it up and getting blamed for trying to get lock-in

Same. On two bikes which is convenient.

more than I expected TBH

Anyone who has a 2022/2023 or newer bike likely has it I think?
Not something I look for in a bike spec, but my newest bikes have it.

Sup’s 2022 specialized does not have the UDH, but my 2023 ibis does.

I realized the other day my Orange is almost 5 years old, which is not ok

Since I’m hopefully exiting the bike shop soon I think I’ll get a Ripmo AF and build it up nice before my departure

The new transmission stuff is really appealing
