  • On our way to Canada for Singletrack 6, we stumbled upon the Whitefish Bike Retreat, a bike themed campground that links into the Whitefish trail system, with a fun skills park and pump track. It was a great reminder to play on our bikes more often!

    Thanks for the great reminder that not every ride (even for XC racers) has to be a sufferfest. Places like that little retreat are perfect for welcoming folks into the sport.

      That's why we like the Stages Dash computers, they're way more robust (and smaller) than have a phone on the handlebars!

    Macky's socks are cool!
    Wish I had a trail system like that around my house... Hey and what's with those foot-long grips on your and Syd's bikes? When I raced in the last century, I used L-shaped Bar-ends....these were great for climbing and of course different hand holds during the race...I guess they are not "cool" anymore...

    • @sydandmacky
      @sydandmacky  Рік тому

      Yeah, bar ends have gone out of fashion. I used to use them back in the mid 2000s but I think as bars got wider and more aggressive trails and descending became more popular people decided they weren't worth the extra hand positions.

    If you think this is good bike connected infrastructure, you would explode at the stuff connected to the N. Minnesota trails - Cuyuna/Tioga/Redhead/Duluth. Less so for Jackpot and Split Rock, but those are coming along.

    I've been watching some trials riders, trying to get tips for bike handling skills. It's easy to forget we ride bikes because it's fun.
    Also, Stages picked good people to sponsor. I'm absolutely convinced I need, despite having gone my entire life without. It would solve so many issues with my local trails. Great trails, terrible signage.
    Man, advertising works.
