Timeless

Just Tahoe for me this year, hoping for more big powder days than the last 2 years. Unless some work driven trips to Europe allow some options over there. We are not getting our Squaw/Alpine passes for this year, trying to spend more time at some of the other resorts. Definitely Kirkwood a few times, probably quite a few days at Sugarbowl, at least 1 trip to Mt Rose and I might give Heavenly another chance if they get a decent amount of snow. Late season will probably by next years pass to Squalpine and ride the spring out on that.

It is at least a lively thread

OK, now you should ban him, that's just offensive.

I don't think I can ever see him as " your common man" or an "eagle of American freedom" but I can definitely see him as a Mc Double and the board is certainly less entertaining without him. My vote is for free speech within the limits of decency and this seems like overly harsh punishment, give him his freedom to post.

Thank you I have some great memories from my time in PA and this brings back several of them.

Winner! It is the Lick observatory on Hamilton. 4000 feet up from the valley floor, beautiful ride.

Awesome weekend bike ride here in CA, anyone guess the "highpoint" of the ride

it's a tough life sometimes.....

Most north lake areas got up to 3 feet, Squaw is open (1 lift) today for a $20 ticket. More storms next week, looks good for a thanksgiving opening.

More or less, yes. A little further south if you are being very specific.

it's never 100 degrees in SF, the bay keeps it 20 degrees cooler than we see in the "south bay" area.

100+ degrees here today Some leaves are turning yellow & brown though so I guess it's fall. 8 weeks to thanksgiving skiing and riding.....

I liked the picture

Simply Stunning

Do you need more reason.....

4 hrs and 16 mins. the lake is unbelievably clear, they say the "dinner plate" test (where you can still see a white dinner plate on a rope) goes to 140ft. thanks for the excellent contribution to the thread...

Thanks, yeah the bike just "needed" a new set of wheels (mavics), not that I am/was fast enough to fault the stock RS10's

Ha Ha Ha, $500, you need wheels on that sir?

Got my season pass to "Squalpine", but also planning a return to Utah for the first time in 3 years, plus hoping to take advantage of some european trips to ride in Austria, and possibly France or Italy.

More "pics from this weekend" than "pics from today" Rode the "Tour de Tahoe" this weekend, a clockwise loop around the lake (72 miles). Seriously one of the most beautiful rides you could imagine, with breathtaking scenery and some amazing roads. Sweeping down from emerald bay towards homeward, holding 40+mph for miles was one of the all time bicycle moments for me. I rode a little on Friday and saturday too, just to get a feel for the area. First picture from Friday evening on the beach (south lake) Saturday, heading towards Kirkwood (in the distant background) Monday, recovering in the lake... Heading home, from Sand Bay, Nevada All in, an amazing weekend, highly recommend this ride if you ever get the chance. Not very tough and lots of fun, huge participation (>2000 riders) and very well supported.

Good for you, dont look back.

Back to the Banana's : what is the difference between C2 and C3?

Actually a pic from Sunday, a nice 25 mile morning ride up to Henry Coe state park, 2700ft up in 8 miles. No sign of fall here yet, still 85-90 degrees, dry and sunny. Next weekend (September 9th) I am riding around Lake Tahoe, will try to post some nice pic's (not from my i-phone).

Have 1 whole season and a couple of months on my TRS (C2BTX) now and it's holding up really well. I cant comment on the ice-skating capabilities of the Mag' with Banana as we dont really have to deal with the real boiler plate stuff, but on hard crusty groomers it flies and holds a really good edge. My old Dark MTX was excellent on the east coast but that was a non-banana version. TRS's are awesome in powder and spring soft/heavy conditions, you'll have to take yours somewhere to the west.

Moving out west?
