Love it. I'm doing this tomorrow! Also: love the mojo in the last shot. Did I just date myself by calling it 'mojo'? Back 'round 1990 it was a 'thing' at least among the mtb crowd I ran with. I recall that when my 1989 Rockhopper was stolen I was disproportionately concerned with the loss of

TOTAL MOJO! We are peas from the same moto pod. Not only was it a 'thing' in our group too, but there were rules surrounding the acquisition of the mojo. -It had to be found or gifted, never bought. -It had to be found while riding. -Once acquired it had to attached to the bike right then by

Tim, They are made by a climbing shoe company called Evolv. They call it an approach shoe but it's really just a beefed up rock shoe. Despite being super light and flexible, they work pretty well on the bike using a big platform pedal like the VP's. Since the soles are sticky climbing rubber,

Whew! That's a lot rules! Years ago, I found a metal Tonka toy dump truck on the side of Hwy 46 between Cambria Paso Robles. It was Real Steel, so weighed a few pounds (not the 21st century plastic stuff). For some silly reason, I strapped in onto the top of my not insubstantial load, and

The only Mojo I would come to back with would be crack baggies or condom wrappers or empty cans of cobra malt liquor. Here in brooklyn you learn to leave stuff right where you saw it. On Jul 8, 2013 9:42 PM, dougP dougpn...@cox.net wrote: Whew! That's a lot rules! Years ago, I found a metal

Hey Brad, I'm not one for too many rules but can see the enjoyment when one finds said MOJO within those guidelines. I personally just like it when I find a totem that speaks to me while on the road.. Now I'll be thinking of the rules as I pedal and see what I see. Best, Hugh Sunland, Ca On

It looks great! I love the color. Fantastic inaugural outing. It's amazing how a short ride with a stop outdoors (a pipe for me, rather than coffee, waterfalls rather than ocean), relaxes and fuels the soul. With abandon, Patrick On Saturday, July 6, 2013 10:07:17 AM UTC-6, jinxed wrote:

Looks like a fabulous morning! The green paint looks sweet, and the bike seems to eat those 650b wheels right up. Clearance! leave it to a Riv anyway. On Saturday, July 6, 2013 12:07:17 PM UTC-4, jinxed wrote: This mornings ride has been in my head for a LONG time, and the last week
