Still plan on going. I also hope to beat last years time of DNS. So long as I ride for 1 second, it'll be a win.
It's a long bike ride for me, nothing more. The concept of "racing" does not apply to me here.
The trees around here are still in "slowly budding" mode. We're going to need a few days of warm weather to fast forward that process and get the trees drinking up water. It seemed to come early (ish) then some cold weather slowed that down. I've seen a lot of smaller/underbrush popping up...
Yeah frankly I don't care what bike I rent so long as it's enough for the trails. I seem to remember one of us renting a Trek somewhere along the line. It was fine.
The thoughts about cost & destinations are valid ones. I'm heading out to Vegas next month and I may rent so I can ride Bootleg...
Mine works without Connect open even in the background. I just checked all my open apps and confirmed it’s not running and probably hasn’t been for a while. My ride last week uploaded without issue magically on its own.
90-95% of the time mine does the needful automagically.
D seems to be the total opposite.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why. Good luck, and remember blue bubbles rule.
