    I'm looking at Pivot just can't get around the 15k price tag , my Slickrock , Vail days are far behind me
    Thought I'd throw this in but Bentonville Arkansas is the new Moab , it's off the charts for riding , mild or wild , the lady from Walmart has spent millions developing a trail system , it's a great read about a great place to ride , dine , stay.

    For me Moab will always be Moab. I’ll never be into machine built flow trails. I like tech and chunk and going slow.

    The Waltons are trying to turn the whole NWA area into a tourist area. Trying to backdoor the Buffalo River area into a National Park with the help of Gov Sanders and her husband.

    They have backed off for now, but...

    Not on the truck, except once. Was too much work. I am waiting/hoping for front wheel hubs to become availible and make a low racer bike..... that would be perfect truck bike

    Ouch those winds. I think, I'd rather fight hills. At least I know I'll have a free ride on the other side. Lol.

    Solution:
    Live in flat farmland, paved roads on an either EW or NS orientation on a 1 mile grid with no traffic.
    Leave the house after looking at weather vane and head into the wind for the first 10 miles.
    Exhausted, return at 50% higher speeds with 50% less effort with the wind at your back
    Saying WWHHEEEEEEEE all the way .:)

    Yep, always start off against the wind and return with it at your back is the golden rule.
    Don't ask how I know. Lol.

    Unless the weather forecast is absolutely horrid I plan to ride the Katy Trail the week of May 12. I’ve never done a ride where there are services and water available regularly so this should be fun. It will be my first time loading up the bike and not carrying 5-6 liters of water and a bunch of food. I’m planning to camp but will probably end up getting a room for a night or two.
