The chances that 89coupe has ever ridden a dirtbike... slim

Obviously you don’t know me very well.

You're right, I only know your persona on beyond.. which by all accounts, is the healthiest guy here who would never redneck it up on a dirtbike..

Are you saying rednecks are not healthy and only ride dirt bikes?

I'd say a quad or sxs is the favored conveyance for that group.

Add me to that train, I fucking hate the climb and me getting an ebike is pretty definitive of my take on the earn your turns motto. I got nothing but respect for the guys that can though because until you've tried it you will never understand how intense it can be.



Do you have a link to the down tracks at fish creek? ive heard its nice out there and wouldnt mind climbing some of them on the ebike. Kidding! I really do want to try that place though so if you have some recommendations that would be great.

In regards to Merlin/braggin is the unwritten rule to go up the right side and then come down the left? Thats what we always do and when we see others out theyre doing the same too but ive seen guys come down that way too. Is there any unwritten rule over on ranger/summit/snakes/strange brew?

Fish Creek laps are tricky to link together in a “smooth” manner if you haven’t rode them before… but here is a decent one:



Can’t really link without showing the house… but I’m always around and down for a ride if you want a tour guide!

Less than an E-bike, way more fun.

Hills, no problem

that is awesome.

Has anyone done a cycling trip to Croatia before?

I was trying to think of a fun/active trip I could do with my Mom and somebody mentioned a cycling trip around the Dalmatian coast. Ideally I would get her on an e bike as she’s in her late 60s now.

Thanks in advance for any info. Cheers

Lulz… ya’ll e-bikers need to step it up… I’m not even a top ten’er on an analog bike on these trails (I’m actually all time 5s faster on canyonero on the analog) and first ride since the rain has finally absorbed in and I do this:

Its pretty crazy that a mid tier ebike will cost the same as brand new Yammy 250. I got a DB last year and I cant believe im saying this but If i had a choice between DB/mclean or EB/west bragg id take the ebike all day. The DB is fun no doubt but the DH is is where its at for me.

Thanks for that offer but id slow you down lol

[ercchry]

^^ the downs are like 2-3min… you just stagger from fast to slow and then climbs are all pathways so pretty even on e-bikes

Good thing that's a 125 or I don't think he could reach the pegs.

FWIW you did actually post a pic of a 125.

Either one would be lots of fun.

Oh, ooops. 250cc is what I meant.

Has anyone done the the Long distance all the way down and then back up(right side) the telephone loop in WB? If yes, how was it? I got super lost and in some shitty riding conditions last year in WB so trying to avoid that again. Looking for a new longer loop tomorrow in WB so if you have any other suggestions fire away. Thanks in advance

[mr2mike]

Also interested in this long distance line off telephone. Haven't done it.

[licketysplit]

Clear-cut logging planned for Moose Mountain/West Bragg area. This is the first I've heard of this.

We took Telephone loop - Disconnect - Long Distance - Reconnect and then did the Merlin view loop. It is about an 18km ride

Anyone doing the 7-27 fiver race on Wednesday?

How much would you try to sell a 2015 Kona Rove AL for? Just not getting any use with me having a Topstone now..
