For Denver area front range

Trailforks/MTB project are pretty unpredictable, and rarely show up to date checks.

FB groups are a smidge better, but still not too reliable.

Im a bigger guy, so when someone says “a little wet” and I show up 210 + a bike, I usually always am leaving some deeper tracks and turn back.

I usually ride VCMP, Lair/Baga, and other nearby trails. I just hate being that guy and messing up trail crews.

Places like Ruby hill, valmont, and Erie single track post up to date status fairly regularly. so this is usually who I base ”the rest of trails” off of. But it is not as accurate as you could imagine.

Hello!

I'm visiting Barcelona from the U.S. in October for a work trip, and it'll be my first time in Europe.

My weekdays will be pretty packed (roughly 8 AM–9 PM), so I won't have much time for solo exploring. I'm an early morning person though—usually up around 5 AM to either get outside or hit the gym before the day starts.

I'd like to keep that routine while using it as a chance to see a bit of the city. I'll be staying near Plaça d'Espanya, and I'm thinking of doing easy morning runs to explore, with Montjuïc at the top of my list.

Since it's my first time in Europe, I also want to make sure I'm integrating well and not unintentionally bothering locals. Are there any etiquette tips, things to avoid, or recommendations for early-morning running routes around Plaça d'Espanya and Montjuïc?

As for a gym nearby, I was planning on using Synergym Arenes.

I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Nothing else, I love this trail; COMBA really nailed it for all aspects of Colorado riding. Short too.

Some steeps, some rocks, some jumps, but nothing that I feel like I should skip because it could prevent me from coming into work.

Hello, looking at some gyms in the area, main want is a platform space for Olympic style lifting and powerlifting.

I am at 24 hour fitness off alameda now, but considering other options.

already tried Chuze for a couple days, just not a fan and they are very against chalk/liquid chalk.

Armburst is a possibly option, just a little far and more machine focused (saw 2 total)

All of the rec centers we saw, green mountain and carmedy, were also lacking.

Maybe I am missing some thing else? could just be a crossfit gym that allows open hours for a fair rate.

South of green mountain in Rooney valley neighborhood, a max 15 min drive is good for us.

A respectful gym community (just no creeps) is a plus too

Hi all, celebrating a 1 year anniversary this year. Want something special, but also a young couple trying to budget.

I am guessing if we stick to dinner only, around 500 is fair?

Other options I was considering were nocturne and wildflower. She loves dressing up think these spots fit the bill.

Shopping around for a new used car, and came across a lot of CX-90s in the 25-30k range.

For reference, the CX-70 is the more practical car for me as I will never use the third row, but if a comparable CX-70 is 3-5k more, then I would just get the 90.

Any issues to look out for if I decide to test it out?

went out yesterday to bear creak and instantly turned around due to mud.

How is Rutabega riding atm? Any other downhill focused spots that are solid?

Thinking about my next bike, I am 6’3 210 with gear, and want a fun poppy AM bike that can handle some steeper jumps too, and leaning towards the 140.

As I was looking around, I came across the 5010 too (can’t afford unfortunately), in XL, and surprisingly the geo numbers are pretty close to the S4 status 140, largest difference is a ~25 mm stack diff, while other measurements are fairly close.

While the S5 just jumps dramatically vs a Xl 5010 in all other categories.

id love to demo a status, but can’t find any near me, so going off reviews, and other riders my size who did the same.

Basically, anyone else around here done the same? think it would help the complaints about issues on mellow terrain, but with it being so slack I believe it would be able to still shine in steep terrain.

Searching for a Transition Patrol like bike, but without the price tag (2500 budget).

Came across the sight on EVO and heavily considering this.

I just am worried about it not being a “party bike” like the patrol is, although when looking at geo (minus bb height), everything is pretty darn close.

Is it just marketing on transitions side? Will the Sight still be able to flick around, jump off side hits, and overall be enjoyable?

Or will this be muted and planted compared to the patrol.

I also considered the status for this (same thing, similar geo) but think it will be a bit much for daily use.

usually always send off the season at A Basin, but since copper shares the same date unsure now.

Who is your pick and why? Any park still going at copper? maybe the hike park is kicking still
