"Picked up Petey Friday night. Saturday morning, met Nate at the gas station, headed for Bass River Resort for a weekend of friends and bikes and friends on bikes. Had my dad's Westy (he's very generous, it has been on many bike adventures) packed with two mountain bikes, two cyclocross bikes, two guys and all our stuff. Got to Bass River around 11am. Petey DJ'd, playing some old Memphis rap, eventually winding up with traditional music of India. We got a camp site and set up, anxious to get on the single-track. It was a little cooler than we expected so there was much consideration in regards to gear selection. Fortunately, the gravel climb out of Bass River warmed us up within a mile. The trail awaits!

Hope everyone was able to take advantage of Spring like temperatures today. A warm day with cool streams has us ready for some consistency! #dayslikethese #marktwainnationalforest
Sarah spent the weekend at the #imbauprising event in Bentonville, AR. Hanging out with well over 100 ladies and shredding some amazing trails has her all fired up! Expect a weekly women’s mountain bike ride as soon as the trails dry up! #womenscycling #togetherweride
The overnight low got above 40 so we took advantage and headed out to Mark Twain. Camping this time of year is great considering the lack of malicious plants and bugs. Hopefully we can get some more dry and warm weather soon! #bikepacking #touring #s24o #marktwainnationalforest

It's amazing what a few new parts will do to completely revitalize your sad bike from a long case of the winter blues- whiskey fork, stans wheels and shimano xt brakes have this guy ready to rip!
Very thankful for some warm weather and dry roads. Spring is gonna feel great! #dayslikethese
