The 2.4 is physically almost the same size as the 2.24, but has a thinner sidewall and smaller, shallower tread blocks.

I got my weights directly from the WTB website. Where did you get those from?

BlueSkyCycling. I couldn't find weights on the WTB site that I recall.
 
I'm not gonna be ready for Xterra

Did a timed climg on Diablo today. 42:22 to the junction on Northgate. A good 3 minutes off pace for the percieved effort. It's going to be a stretch to be in shape for the race at months end. Any chance of heading up to the park and pre riding/running the course? I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into.
 
Now you've got me curious. When I hit 160 lbs, I'll give it a go :)
 
Yeah, I'm definitely not ready with the shin splints and crash. Lost about 3 weeks of running because of those. And running was the most critical part to build endurance. :/

Still half tempted to try doing it.

Yes, weekend of the 15th there's the duathlon on Saturday and the MTB race on Sunday. I'm working Sunday, so I'm doing the duathlon on Sat. May not even complete the event, just really really want to pre ride the event, I figure my first run will help me get a slow speed look at the course as well, although the run and bike portions may be done on separate courses.
 
Does anyone riding tomorrow have FRS communicators? It was hard to keep things running smoothly the last time we had a large group - some communicators could be really helpful.
 
hey guys, scott here. fun ride today, im down for the next one for sure.

Sup dude, its Ryan. I had a blast riding with you. Definitely cool to watch you launch those hits and logs. You were rippin! We gotta ride together some more. Oh, and sorry again about throwing myself under your front wheel. While I appreciate the braking you did, next time just go ahead and run me over, I deserve it for pulling shite like that. :laughing

Everyone else was thrashing hard too. That is by far the most zonked I've been after a ride in a long time. Props to everybody for pushing it at the end and surviving such a killer ride. :thumbup

The terrain there is unreal. Demo is now tied at the top of the list with UCSC. We gotta go back!!@!

:ride

Oh, and here is the trace from my garmin if anyone is curious:

It's been that way for as long as I've been using it?

That ride was fun, despite being a bit scattered. I'd definitely like to use communicators next time - we ended up being all over the place.

I'd call it a triple loop of Demo, with three descents as compared to our normal two -

Descent 1: Ridge + Corral
Descent 2: Ridge + Sawpit
Descent 3: Braille

And then there was the 3 mile climb out, as well as that mile and a half climb back to the cars. Hope everyone had a good time in spite of the suffering. I'll try to make sure things run a little smoother next time.

We were a ragged bunch at the end of that, weren't we? Ryan bonked, Scott was cramping bad, Dan bonked, I was still flat from my roadie ride on Saturday, and a bunch of people fell - thankfully, everyone was alright.

Man, Tractor was a motherfucker...

I've been using firefox the entire time, and now I can't open the player.

That sounds like a brutal ride just from the numbers.

I'm dying to try out the new bikes, I haven't had a chance to ride since they were done. Anyone planning on riding this Saturday or Sunday afternoon? Can't ride in the am.

Glad everyone had fun, and glad everyone was unhurt.
