I love my k-edge saddle mount.
Note to Fatty: make sure to tighten the screws on the rail mount every now and then. I had one of the screws fall out as I didn’t think to retighten the screws.
I also have the k-edge pro handlebar mount, love it!!

The gopro works so well, I mean think of the vid of the pies at LIVESTRONG:Davis! :-D

Sooo miss my mountain bike now! Was thinking I am just too old for it and gave to my niece (it was 20 years old). I had no idea how beautiful mb riding could be (as opposed to dangerous). How does one afford to have a great road bike AND a great mountain bike? Oh, and the time for it all…What a tease!

First: Love the videos, and the music isn’t half bad. At the very least, you’ve inspired me to go listen to something I wouldn’t ever listen to. So that’s a good thing.

Second: If that singletrack was a rally road, it would be the best, most flowingest, 4th-gear and left foot brakingest, funnest rally road. Twisty, yet open, a perfect mix of technical and speed.

Now I want a GoPro or something.

On your Leadville quest… What are your estimated split times at each support area? I am attending the race and would like to cheer you on!

I still can’t believe you’re doing Leadville then starting the Epic the next day… I have to admit, the words “Are you crazy?” entered my mind…

I’m sure you’ve been in touch with Zippy who is a Breck Epic veteran?

I did parts of the Epic course in the Breck 68 a couple years ago – you’re in for a fun ride!

I want to ride this loop. So by looking at the Strava gps, you follow the dirt road past Tibble Fork and then is it hard to find where you leave the dirt road and the single track starts? Is there anywhere to fill water bottles or are you carrying 10 gallons?

Stay on the dirt road past Tibble — you’ll eventually get to a fork w/ a sign in it. I can’t remember what the sign says, but go right at the fork. That’s when the serious climbing begins. Stay on the dirt road to the summit; you’ll see the sign I show in the video at 0:26 at the summit; that’s where the singletrack begins. Just stay on that (there are a couple of places where you can take a turn onto different singletrack; just stay straight) til you see a sign for Ridge trail; that’s a left turn on a dirt road at the bottom of all that really rough trail I show in the video. Take that road til it terminates, leading to the Ridge trail. A few miles of that leads to the 4-way trail juncture at the top of Tibble. From there we took Joy, then to the Summit, then back along Ridge to the 4-way, and down Tibble. No places to get water along the way, bring a camelbak and 2 full bottles, and start early in the AM when it’s cool. – FC

Love that loop. I’ve got to ride that. Is it hard to find where you leave the road and the single track starts?

Nope, if you know where to find the Tibble Fork parking lot, my directions to The Hamer should get you the rest of the way. – FC
