Well this one lasted my buddy three years and he is bigger and stronger than me. And between him and I we have broken 3 2018 pivot les frames.

It was good. It sucked, I sucked, the bike sucked, I’m tired...but I tried to hang on for a while. I sucked on the loose climbs today...usually my strong point.
Like all great events they just seem to happen, things fall into place, people show up, the weather is not too hot and BAM a fun Thursday Night Ride happens.
The Group Selfie
It seems that the ride was falling apart, due to weather and rider's schedules not aligning, but this one definitely came together, I'm gonna say that this was the best CR Thurs ride of the year so far. Can they get better, I don't know, we'll continue to show up and see what happens.
Jeremy took the lead for most of the ride, with Matt and myself holding his wheel. Matt seems to hang back a lot , he has incredible power on climbs but Jeremy has an edge on the descents and tech. Dave Taylor tried to hang on Jeremy's wheel but would inevitably loose it and create a gap for everyone else. I love Dave, he brings entertainment to the ride and the board, he is Michael Scott on a mtb.
Matt-the porn stash
Brian was a bit off tonight, the trails were bone dry and traction was an issue. When Brian is on, he can pull away with ease. Kirt hung on but we lost Eric, I think that's Matt's boss. Luckily Eric was back at the lot before us, so Matt didn't get fired. Mike was the token guy who flatted, there is always one.
Like racing, the Thursday night ride is demanding, some weeks you feel good and others you want to quit after 10 minutes in. I felt good tonight, after not putting in any hard efforts since the Lewmo race. It felt really good to be back on the SS, throwing down with these guys.
Post ride beer, it's the savasna of mtbing. If you don't know what that means, take a yoga class.

Pesky sidewall puncture put a premature end to the misery Jeremy and crew were putting us through.
It would lose air down to 10psi and when I’d air it up, it would blow out the stans seal
Please keep this ride, trash talking, and recapping going.

Thanks for the explanation of why you didn't earn a beer

Thanks @pooriggy . Love you too buddy. I actually felt pretty good tonight and could hang in blue. White I always suck at but was one of my better ones in that section. I fell apart once we went up yellow. That’s usually my strong point but riding this niner one9 rdo rigid was awful. It bounced everywhere, spun out everywhere and ultimately that beat me up. I never walk yellow middle or high tech and just couldn’t keep traction. For anyone that wants to get better come to the hurt locker...it works.
Yeah, but what I said is funnier.
