I'm chomping at the bit to get on my new rig.
Anyone up for an early one tomorrow? 5:30 or 6 start time?
Start at 40th st or 7th Street, doesn't matter to me. I've got to be back to the parkinglot by 7:15 though to get to work.
Post up, let me know....

Whtr is a rig?is that gary fisher?we are riding pmp tonight around 6pm if your interested.

WTH does whtr mean?
Rig. You know, like big rig, oil rig, fishing rig. I always thought it was slang for machine or vehicle.
Anyway, I bought an '11 Giant Reign 1 yesterday.
Thanks for the invite, but I have plans tonight, gonna go in the morning.

Nice. A Reign was on my short list when I got my Pitch. What did you have before? If I remember right it was a Giant but can't remember what. I've got an Xterra race to cover out at Estrella Mountain Park or I'd be in.

Sorry you can't make it. Paying the bills sucks.
I was riding a '09 Giant Trance X3. It was an XL which is too big for me, and I got a good deal on the large Reign.
Only 15 more hours!!!!

Nice. Probably a bit more heavy but a lot more capable :thumbsup:

I think the Reign may weigh less!
Going from an XL to a L, and the component group is better as this is a Reign 1 vs a Trance X3; lower numbers are better. When I was changing out seatposts last night, it was amazing how much heavier the Trance's Raceface Ride XC post was compared to the Reign's Giant contact.
(Who really cares, I have a KS 950 dropper) You get the point though.
Ridng around the block today getting the shocks set up, it is amazing in the different feel of the bikes. I always felt like I was sitting way up high above the Trance, and now I feel more in the bike, kinda like how people describe the feel of a 29er.
Can't wait for the morning.

Thats a good feeling- Looking forward to the first ride! Hope you enjoy it!

Yeah, I forgot about the size difference and the better components. I was just thinking generally but that'll be sweet if it's lighter AND more capable. Have fun and I'll see you out there some time...

Looks like I'll be going solo.... Going to bed, I'll check again when I leave the house for any late joiners.

Was a beautiful morning out there for a ride, hopefully this weather turn stays put! 730am start time was niiiice!

 

[GR1822]

I know right? Started at 5, wow was it nice! Need to tweak the fork settings a little more, but this bike kicks a55! Gonna do it again tomorrow morning at 8.

I'd be happy to ride w/ you on Monday morning, but I'd need to roll pretty early in order to get home and ready for work.

The earliest I can go is 8, if that works for you. That's when I'll be getting off work.

Too late for me tomorrow. Have fun.
