I'd expect the creek to be roaring rapids, though.
Point. I may have ride up the trail first.
Or switch to Maple Springs.

SWEEEET! Waterfalls BIG and small!!!! Be careful.The Wiezel & I, tomorrow, South Mountain. National Trail from the bottom...the goods!!!!
Rain event last night in Mesa AZ led to partly sunny weather. Read: it’s perfect.
Repetition be damned, I’m taking the weaz out to Pass Mountain Trail tomorrow. A great place to test suspension and technique, as full value as a 7-mi mountain circumnavigation can be. Numerous sublime vistas, tricky rock negotiating on ST with some failure penalty potential. Check Trailforks.

Holler if you’d like to join. Social/safe pace. Like to hike up to Wind Caves from the car for x-credit. Wind Caves TH as shown on Trailforks; whatever time works.
Cool, John. After the Wed shower we will be up for more. We’re stoked on SoMo, as it’s close-ish and big up-down. After Wed weather we’ll get at it again. I’ll ping you...Just saw this now!! A bit late...but I couldn't have gone anyway. Hope it was a good ride. Text is always the best option for a ride invite for me.

It's green.Maybe I missed the memo...what, exactly, is wrong with the Tracer?
It's green.
No - I'll retell how I got here. I was planning to look for a bike this winter and maybe get one if I found something awesome - just to modernize a bit (12 spd, seat tube angle, reach, 29er, etc). Then my Tracer needed work and I bumped into an XL Firebird asking me to buy it. It fit great, and I was thinking about getting a bike anyway, so I pulled the trigger. 11 rides - dialed in. Then I rode my Tracer again back to back with the Firebird and realized I made a mistake.
Soooo my options are, sell the Firebird and not replace it, sell it and buy something else, or trade it for something else at the shop where I bought it. I am experimenting with the latter.
I digs the color. Mega, or new regular?Who wants to show me around Sycamore (Riverside) or Greer tomorrow morning so I can demo this?

Admit it - you bonded with my Firebird when you rode it on STT.I see. N+1 mitigated by S-1.
Good karma wishes on your search for bi-wheeled bliss.

I freely admit it pedaled easier than my Giant, for the 32 linear feet I pedaled it.

You know the weather is bad when this thread is dead (or off topic) on a Friday...
Ok... That was uphill. If we ride, I'll let you try the Hightower going downhill... STT? Motorway?
I'm riding in the morning, but as you well know, the pickings are slim in the rain around here... The weather may offer some compensation for the route choice, though.
Now you're talking, that thing is industrially beautiful looking... Like @Faust29 was insinuating resistance is futile so I'll just go ahead welcome you to the club now... See you at Kokopelli next May...XXL Hightower.

He rode it downhill too. Nearly 32 linear feet! He was STOKED, despite it being three sizes too large and set for someone 40 lbs heavier!!!!Ok... That was uphill. If we ride, I'll let you try the Hightower going downhill... STT? Motorway?
It looks like it fits fine as long as he goes straight...
