I just noticed how odd that guy’s hand looks. It’s almost a flipper

Promoter responded to my email and I got the sad trombone option to move my registration to Southern Cross in March. Since I do 4-5 of their events a year this is the best choice but still stings.

I can’t decide if this is Elliot Baring’s fault or Dylan Johnson’s fault but someone is responsible.

Probably not going to rain either. :man_facepalming:

It really is the one single component the MTB industry can’t bear to address

I was all prepared for a completely washed out weekend and now I’m almost disappointed that all the rain has been taken out of the forecast.

Spotted a Riv Roadini (with mustache bars) in the bike room at work. Unsure whether it qualifies as TAF, JA or WTH.

I really enjoyed the nonsense he was stirring up about “gravel” tires being at least 50mm after Steamboat and then seeing gravel worlds won on 40/42.

I assume if someone has the nuts to get online preaching their tire gospel they haven’t been riding long enough to understand we just got done being completely wrong about tires for sixty years.

The only thing the bike industry likes more than hyperbole is absolutes.

A huge 500w rider on a 2 mile downhill paved finish, sure, he’s lucky he hung on the pack, especially after those Reens punctured a dozen times on him at Unbound.

Yeah. It’s almost like “different horses for different courses”
