Dylan Gonda has the first full suspension bike I've seen this year...I wonder how he likes it.

There was a chap a while back running a Tallboy with Lauf.

I just read that Yellowstone is being evacuated due to fear of the "Massive Volcano" eminent eruption? Any one else hear of this and will our portion of the there be effected?

I understand from 'Flinch' a few months ago that if Yellowstone erupts more than the TD route will be in danger!   I also remember him telling me back in '13 that in geological terms it was due to erupt.  (60,000 years or something)

Yeah what he said the USGS site lists the Yellowstone area  as normal for volcanic activity -  could it erupt -  sure is it likely? not according to the USGS

Mike may be in for some post-holing up on the pass above Brush Mountain Lodge. I crossed the pass on June 8th, and there was about 3 miles of snowy hiking, and some deadfall to deal with. But it was melting fast. If there's not snow, there will be mud!

Does anyone know what brand model rain jacket/ wind-breaker Rob Adams is wearing in this photo (the white one).  I have seen a few riders with these.  They look nice, light and stow-able.

I'll take the snow over the mud any day.

Is the route TS on an acceptable alternate?
Hi to Mike Hall from Lisa from Pivot, if you see this before him. Thanks for being there!

Relax, the Geologist is here!  thumbsup  I'm familiar with Yellowstone in an odd way. In 1959 (August 10th) our family was camped along the Madison River there. We left, and seven days later an earthquake caused a landslide to bury all the campers, and create Quake Lake. So rather than be part of the geologic record, I went on to record geology.

Anyway, back to the mega chamber Supervolcano explosive event that's coming. When? Aha! That's the question - and I'm not telling. Will be lots of warning; quake swarms, magma chamber rising to shallow levels, swelling of large land areas, geysers and hot pools will go 'funny' (technical term!), etc..

If it goes, Matt will be busy notifying all racer's next of kin as to the new re-route. Gonna be a big noise! Bad from Banff to Mexico.

Y'all relax - eh?  icon_biggrin icon_biggrin icon_biggrin icon_biggrin

And once the Race is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure whether the Race is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the Race, you won't be the same person who rode in. That's what the Race is all about.

I lost and picked up a few items during my short time on the trail - should we start a lost & found thread? Is there one already?
