Father's Day Long Ride

After a quiet evening at the official FT3 secret camp site

The LRPers met at Plasse's


We quickly climbed out of the trees

into alpine

and the trails got scratchy
 forest fires erupted in canyons
 and I broke my derailleur hanger.


Now its Tuesday and I haven't been able to replace the busted piece. Not sure if I'm up for an evening on the Mtn Tek.

    1. On a related note, i'm trying to help broke a back channel bike and parts arrangement to get both (unhandled) Gary and NoCar up on bikes tonight
      We may be one 10sp real wheel short still. Anyone?

    1. Assuming RG is present at tonight's festivities, that is. I too am looking forward to the new duds. And the ride. After 2 years I'm finally joining the team!

  4. NoCar, XTeric has an extra Niner, maybe the hanger will fit? Or you could just request to ride it.

  5. In. Should be a good night to officially break in the kit a little more - as if turfing it on the way to hungaladies ridge wasn't enough.

    Tried sourcing a hanger for no car, no luck. I have a cross bike with 39-25 gearing he can borrow.
