    I lay down and have my kids climb on me. I keep a hand up for the groin and face. It's kinda the same thing. kinda.

    I would take the Spur if I were you. Maybe stick the Smash fork on it and slam your stem for the trip.

    I think that would be a bike very at odds with itself. 120 to 160 makes me think Easy Rider. It will either be the Spur, or Smash with Spur tires, and maybe air shock, but really it will probably just be the Spur.

    Makes sense. I assumed the Spur had a stock 140mm fork. I agree on taking the Spur.

    I'm with @Cornholio on this. Minus the beer challenge, Homey don't play that. Maybe 2022 will be in the cards.

    Okay!
    So I have reached out to Alex of Bikerpelli and already started stirring the pot.
    He signed up several years ago on imtbtrails and goes by @Seriously_Tho .
    He didn't have an Avatar and he never specified if he was male, female, or confused.
    So I gave him an Avatar (it's appropriate), "adjusted" his gender designation amongst the imtbtrails options and shared with him to personally maybe look in his pants and figure out if I guessed correct, and hopefully it would lead him in the right direction in life.

    Also shared that we will be forthcoming with beer demands (so start assembling what that expectation might be).

    I did share the requirement to jump on here and talk some Sh!t.

    I did however fail to mention that we demand the return of Sage by popular demand. So that's something to keep in mind.

    Anyway...
    We can use this thread as training ground or for Q&A on what to bring, prep, or talk crap (what we do best)...

There's some reason or not either way all good I'm rolling with it. If I'm meant to go this time I'll get in. You're getting the check though!!! I'm not a cheep date!

    Awesome!
    We are all on the waitlist this year due to COVID. It gives Alex the flexibility to take our money or not based on conditions closer to the ride....

    My recommendations were Pacifico, Fat Tire, Shocktop, 805... he thought Pacifico sounded good.

    Only wish I had a jersey for the ride. :whistling: @Mikie I wear a medium or large depending on my diet. :laugh: honestly though I would like one for my area. I've done the rep the bike shop thing and I don't think I'm ready for that again. Where do you guys get your gear from? I'm in the market for some new kits.

    That’s good because there’s a lot of people looking like 10 pound sausages in a 5 pound wrapper in their old ones. Maybe they just ordered the wrong size?

    Awesome! I can finally get one that fits!
    Or they're swimming in it because they lost a sh¡t ton of weight. Anyone need a slightly used XXL IMTB jersey?
