MOTR MORNINGS! Southern Oregon Summer Morning Ride @ Mountain of the Rogue with DH finish
Since I moved to Southern Oregon in June of '22, I've been trying to get into a solid and regular riding schedule like I had back in California. One place that has kept my legs somewhat in shape is "Mountain of the Rogue" (aka MOTR) in Rogue River, OR. It's less than 20 minutes from my house. With work being unpredictable and afternoon temps soaring July - September, I fell into a little rhythm of hitting MOTR in the mornings. As I mention in the video, it's right off of I-5 and really easy to access. The parking lot was just expanded and re-paved and there are bathrooms. Every ride at MOTR starts with a climb up Rat Pack. There are several points you can get off and head downward. The route I took in this video is what has been working well for me lately. It's roughly a 30-minute climb to start, then 10 minutes down. All in all, I get a good climb and some really fun downhill in under 45 minutes and I can get along with the rest of the day. Of course, if you have the time, there are a bunch of different route options within the same trail system. I'll cover some of that in a future video. For now, enjoy this one and make sure you follow along on Instagram (@punk_uncle_show) to keep up with everything going on!

      I lived in central California at the time, bought the van at the Ram dealership in Watsonville. They we’re getting them in equipped that way in the summer of 21.

The bike has always worked well, but currently I only see a white screen when I normally have to get the page with the different training sessions. Can one also reset that bicycle?

    Man I’m like smack dab in between the L and XL. Demo’d both and the XL just felt too big, but the L was a tad small too. Looking at other brands that recommends up to 6’3 for their L, with basically the same reach/stack/geo. The Mtb community seems split on sizing up or down

    • @PunkUncleShow
      @PunkUncleShow Рік тому

      It’s definitely a personal thing. My background is MX so I’ve always preferred a little longer reach than what is often specified. I like a little more room in the cockpit. Others feel a larger/longer bike is harder to turn. You can use a stem change to narrow in one way or the other as well. When I shop, reach is basically how I determine the size I want. If you know what you’re already used to, maybe figure out whether you’re more comfortable going longer or shorter from there? Thanks for watching. Let me know what you end up going with and how it works out!

      Hey Gary! I sold the bike a while back, but it went to a friend and I see it on the trail or Facebook regularly 😁 Those wheels are so good I actually had another set custom built for my EVIL Following. On both bikes they have been really dependable and I’m a heavier rider as well (210-215 depending on what point in the ride it is 😆). With the Ripmo AF in particular, I felt the wheel upgrade for $800 was a great deal for getting that bike to ride way above its pay grade. To be fair, I haven’t ridden their aluminum rims, so I can’t give you a direct comparison perspective, but on their own…great wheels. Thanks for watching brother!

    I have this post in the 30.9x150mm version. Best one out there for ease of adjustment in changing dropper length. The problem I have is that a very low torque on the seat post bolts results in freezing up the seat post. Anything over about 2NM prevents it from dropping, or if dropped, from coming up. Have you had this issue?

      Thanks for checking it out!! The SB140 Is probably the Yeti I would want most, but I wouldn’t trade the Insurgent for one personally. That’s a fully unbiased opinion of course 😆.

    I love this indoor bike too! Thank you for taking the time to review. You certainly answers a lot of questions. Would love help with having programs ready to go!!! Takes me up to 20mins trying to find a ride I’d like to do - either similar or harder than the past ride I did? 👍🏻

    • @PunkUncleShow
      @PunkUncleShow 2 роки тому

      Thank you so much! I get kind of tired of how long it takes to find a ride I want to do as well. Most of the other issues I was having have either been fixed or improved since my review. The power meter is completely inaccurate on mine, but other than that, it’s been great considering the price.

    Researching this bike bc I'm thinking of buying one, really disappointed to hear about the paint. I have a 9-year-old Salsa that doesn't have those issues. I know it's only cosmetic, but I do like to keep my things looking nice when I can. And that it's orange is a great color. Maybe if I get one I'll have to go to the silver so all the chips and stuff isn't as noticeable.

      I got one of their touch up pens and it helped a ton with the chips and keeping the frame looking fresh. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

    China Peak is so much fun. Nothing like it in California. Best park as far as I'm concerned, but I love the super technical rocky stuff, which isn't for everyone. I hear they are working on adding more jumps, flow and wood features.

    • @PunkUncleShow
      @PunkUncleShow 2 роки тому

      Right!? Since I started riding there a couple years ago, I’ve always said it makes everywhere else a little easier. I love it and hope I can get a weekend in this season 🤘🏼

    I don't see how that's a black diamond ? Maybe a blue or even a green, seemed really tame lol

    • @PunkUncleShow
      @PunkUncleShow 2 роки тому

      Me either. I’m not in charge of the ratings, because that would be a blue. If you ride the very upper part of it. It’s got a pretty steep section, but I don’t think most people even start at that point. None of the black diamond trails I’ve ridden in that area are very technical at all. Still pretty fun, though. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

    Good review. I've got a v3 Following that I love. Thinking about replacing a v1 Ripmo with the new Wreckoning or Insurgent MX. Have you tried to ride it with a 29 up front? Just curious as I've only ridden 29ers for the last 5 years and wonder what it would be like to ride mullet. Rock on! \m/

    • @PunkUncleShow
      @PunkUncleShow 2 роки тому

      Sadly, but maybe not, I haven’t switched to the mullet yet. Only due to life/business being completely insane the last several months, not because I haven’t wanted to. It’s realistically probably not gonna happen til Fall now. HOWEVER, I’ve come to love 27.5 life! Since you have a Following (me too), you don’t have to ride the big bike on long pedal days and the 27.5 Insurgent is a super well mannered, yet rowdy rig for enduro or shuttle days. I think the mullet might help with speed a little bit and obviously be nice on steep tech, but the little front is super nimble at speed and makes it feel really quick. It’s a blast.

      That’s an out and back on the San Joaquin River Trail. It’s really not a great spot this time of year, unfortunately. Too hot and it’s low elevation, rattlesnakes, etc. 007 up in Bass Lake or Goat Mountain are good during the summer (morning or evening is still best). If you’re in town for a weekend, China Peak is a ton of fun.

    I don’t have much experience with dropper posts. I’m more of a gravel enthusiast and enjoy carbon set posts. I must say the PNW coast does what it says. I have one installed on my VO Neutrino (internal) and has been great! I’m $2+ and is set to a little over 270 psi. No back strain as per rigid seat posts If you’re curious this a great one to start with. I like punk music too…
