Bikes and Tundra

Finally got to go riding. Been a while. Felt good to get out. Rode at Bootleg Canyon

 

Drove the Tundra out west for a biking adventure or two.

 

Here’s a pic of my current ride...

 

I just acquired a Marin bike. Did some work for my boss, I converted his air ride platinum 2008 Sequoia to a spring and lifted the front and rear.
Don’t really know much about bikes. Haven’t done much research on it yet. Maybe some of you can school me up. Here are some pics.

 

Marin bikes have a pretty good following. Like all bikes, each model, in this case a Rocky Ridge, are available in a variety of equipment levels.

I got out of mountain biking for a while and am currently trying to make time to get back into it but here’s my Trek Fuel EX 7

 

Thanks Eric! Gonna try to put the bike to use whenever I get the chance!

 

This was my setup on my 2017 that I just traded in. May go with a 1up rack on the new truck.

 

Hey Guys.... RAMPAGE starts today!!

Gonna record it and watch it later. Was there last year. It’s incredible. I will need to through my bike on my truck and post a pic.

 

Sure is can’t wait to watch it. Cam Zink had to pull out. His shoulder kept coming out. Cam was a contender.

 

It’s so dangerous. Those guys take a beating. He sneezes and his shoulder comes out. Its crazy that he can ride that hard with all the injuries.

 

Saw a video of Cam riding King Kong trail out of Virgin, UT and his shoulder dislocated landing one of the drops. Talk about shit your pants moment. These guys have serious skill and balls.
Riders lines are sick this year. Can’t wait to watch.

 

I’ve walked some of that trail and it is insane and those dudes lap it as a warmup. Their level is so far beyond

 

Just installed a set of the new Titanium Cane Creek eeWings on my Ti Vassago Moose Knuckle. These things are sweeeet!

 

Never ridden it, and never will. I would try flying monkey.

 

On my best day, that’s at my limit

 

Beautiful bike!

 

Nice setup. Who makes that rack and what model is it? Also, do you think it will support a RTT and a certain overall weight? Lastly, is that a Bakflip MX4? Thanks!

 

It is made up of all Yakima components. Yakima tracks were bolted to the bed rails, landing pads connect to the tracks, control towers hook up to the landing pads, and then it's Yakima round bars. The bike trays are Yakima Forklifts. The whole system disconnects from the truck in no time. As far as weight capacity goes...I couldn't guess at a max weight. I'm pretty sure it would support a RTT. It is an MX4.

 

Thanks for the response! Just looking at different options and this one looks like it would be great. No RTT but there is always hope the Mrs. will get on boar. Then we can jam pack the bed with stuff and still have it covered and secured when out and about away from the truck.

 

I gotcha! I'm all about the RTT's. My dad just bought one for his Tacoma, and it's really nice. I'd like to set up a trailer someday with one.

 

Nothing too fancy and no pics with my Tundra. Haven't rode much this year but was doing no less than 15 miles per day last year.

Cool flat red one is my Giant road bike, aluminum because at my best I'm too out of shape to benefit from carbon. Below is my wifes Liv, also aluminum because shes frugal. She rode that in 2 triathalons last year.

Behind my flat red one is an older carbon Specialized road bike she bought around Halloween last year. It has a lot of upgrades, her friend thought they were going to move back to the Philippines and sold it to us, they never moved and regret selling now.

Behind the Liv is a really old Giant mountain bike I used to cruise the beach on. I have several other odd bikes in storage including a pair of beach cruisers, an Electra townie (I think, it's a fixie) an early 90s Dyno VFR with DK neck, GT 3 piece cranks, Pitbull brakes, powerlite bars and flight pads. Found it in the trash!!! Not with all those parts but most.

 

Which rack is that?

 

Got a quick ride in today. The trails were a little wet but not too bad.

 

Here’s one of my 16’ Norco Arium 7.1. Love this bike. Love it way more when I’m riding it instead of getting a ticket!

 

Also that’s a horrible pic of the bike. So here’s a better one. Who else loves 2 stroke ripping down a hill so fast you have tunnel vision!!! Woo

 

My outdoor riding season is done for the year. I pulled off the rear tire and installed the TacX trainer tire today. Indoor riding until spring now. I don't have the funds now, but maybe next fall I'll spring for a fat bike if I don't upgrade my hardtail so I can ride the local paths and trails in winter.

 

Mine too
