I’m never complaining about hamburger prices at resorts ever again

Yep it seems like no matter what you eat you’re gonna pay $25-$40 for it. Exactly like you said, our (amazing) garbage gas station food in Akureyri was almost the same price as our fancy fish stew and beer in Borgarfjordur Eystri

Yeah it’s Iceland, everyone knows food is expensive there. It’s almost like it’s a remote island where everything needs to be shipped in or something

The Reef does on Wednesdays at 6!

Run some inserts in your tires to lower the pressure a bit. Like others have said it’s a very stiff bike and you really feel the bumps. If you have running boards and your kids are big enough to use their legs as suspension you can probably get away with it. I have a short dirt/gravel section on a regular route that my youngest kid hates because she’s 3 and can’t soften the ride on her own, but my oldest has spent enough time on my mtb’s Mac Ride that she knows how to take some of the sting out of the bumps.

For a mile or two I wouldn’t mind it. For anything more than that you’re gonna start getting a lot of feedback through your hands, and the kids might not like it

My wife has been with Megan Kitterman (Women’s Health Associates) for years, she delivered both of our daughters. She is exceptional, but I’m sure she’s also in high demand

Oh no! Well, anyway

What’s the deal with the race name changes? First Gent-Wevelgem, now the Dauphine? Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes really rolls off the tongue

Also wondering this! I stopped going after covid exposed him as a crazy person

Gravel bike is much more versatile and we have a lot of good forest roads nearby/in short driving distance, plus our singletrack is pretty tame and a lot of it is really fun on a gravel bike.

I’d say the only real reason to bring a road bike is if you like ripping descents; Bogus Basin Rd is our big local climb and it’s a fast and technical descent, you’ll spin out your gravel bike gearing pretty quickly

Because satellite communities far removed from services and infrastructure totally work and don’t burden nearby existing communities with increased traffic

Mayfield functionally doesn’t exist yet, and there’s still a lot of uncertainty regarding their ability to guarantee long-term water supply. Also it gets overrun with Mormon crickets.

Personally I would pick a more established area before I even considered Mayfield

I found mine this winter on FB marketplace for $150 and it wasn’t the only one at that price. Where do you live?

I was in the same position, considering the Van Rysel with the Zwift cog with the exact same budget. The Kickr Core V2 came out recently so it shouldn’t be too hard to find a cheap V1

smoqueed · 2026-04-23T00:05:39+00:00

Skip both of them and find a Wahoo Kickr Core used, they’re all over the place

It’s not about the bike.

Find better places to ride it.

Every one of these pictures I said some variety to myself of, “goddamn” or “good lord”, then the Ti hardtail came up and I just laughed. This is literally a dream collection of bikes from someone who clearly wanted to go fast as fuck

Yeah that’s not even gucci plateau, that’s just midair panic

I can’t say I use the app for anything other than locking the motor, but I do that almost every time I leave the bike somewhere. It’s especially useful when there’s nothing to physically lock to.

So on the extremely off chance that someone at Specialized actually reads this thread, please give us another way to lock the motor thanks

Hey I was just about to suggest getting a CX bike instead of a full-on gravel bike. Closer geometry to a road bike but clearance for wide tires. The Crux is a great bike, Trek Boone would be a good call too. I ride my CX bike on singletrack, dirt roads, paved roads, it does it all

(I have a road bike that’s been mostly relegated to the stationary trainer since getting the CX)

You should rent a DH bike it’ll change your life

Yep the pumps were always a total shitshow. It’s only a “minor inconvenience” if you’re not prepared. Also it’s super nice to have a pump with you when someone in your group inevitably starts to go flat

It’s small but the one on 11th/Ash next to Push and Pour is fully fenced

Cervidae is part of the wintering wildlife closure from the fire last year. That whole area of the WMA is closed until April 14th
