i challenge you to find it. this place is expensive. anyway trust me you will want something a little more confortable for that amount of time. its worth it so get a crew and stay together to cut costs. thats what we will do.

Dave? Uhhhh.... Dave's not here man....

Wish I was there now ey Quint. Stupuid work. Stupid real estate. Life should be about chairlifts, riding and drinking whilst making excuses after slowness/stackage.

I am thinking about buying a short travel bike to whack my 66s on.

But should I stick with a two bike system or go for a three bike system?

Should one of my bikes be more xc orientated? Or should I just keep churning a heavy bike with a chain guide around daisy and the gap?

How much XC do you do? I used the Rail and the BottleRocket for XC laps at Daisy and Gap Creek. While no flyweight XC steeds, they're certainly adequate for medium paced rides of about an hour. Any longer or more serious than that and I'd be tempted to say build yourself a whippet bike and a seperate freejibhuckin play bike.

I was thinking of something like a Brodie nemisis or similar. I normally do 1-2 hour curcuits at sub medium pace. What weight does a freejibhuckin playbike really need to be to be managable for xc muckabout? 18ishkgs too heavy? mind you I am kind of chunky myself.

BottleCock is about 16kg and it's very manageable for longish rides. You can build them up pretty light and something like a Brodie could be sub-16 easy enough. I'd say go for it. Where they let you down on climbs they make up for it on the DH and in the rough.

ok i know your a seasoned traveller but ive been spoilt by kirk hey. we got internet, hot tub, nice place about 5 min or less from the chair. its awesome.

just get here however u like. we all gotta do this. the place is so busy and only about 20% are riders - the rest are smoking hot tourists. dont ask me what they are doing here.

also the bone yard is dead. its so big and gnarly that no one hits it. crazy

Bottlecockit or sx...Run a dual ring guide up front and the hills should become easier, otherwise do what i do and walk up em!

Off the pies for now, got me a packet of chips that says 25% lower in saturated fats, so does that mean i can eat the whole 185g pack? Washing it down with a coupla rum n cokes
