      Great shots, man!  Love the misty, dreamy aesthetic!

      Would you say a Misty Mountain Hop, given Brock’s attire?

      Think it, be it.

        Fantastic ride and superb scenery! Love the second pic with the weirdest geological formations on the hillside…👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

        The journey is the objective.

                I have a Moots Baxter which is more drop bar mountain bike as it can take 2.3 tyres.  I am running mine with crossmax mountain bike wheels.  Using a hybrid Di2 system with Grx levers paired with an XT mtb rear mech.  Works nicely and can be configured via the Shimano software, I am running mine with upshifts on both left hand levers and downshifts on the right hand levers.

                There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                        I did my first ever gravel ride yesterday. Resolved about 5 miles in that I needed a real gravel bike! Thinking about doing a custom build on a Crust Evasion. Anyway, some shots:

                            I've got a Crust Evasion in the works from a semi-local shop. Meanwhile I'm already accessorizing with a new bag from Ronnie Romance:

                              Ronnie makes the best bags!

                                @Brock This rig is dialed! Ronnie Romance would approve. How do you find the Fabio's Chest? Bounce factor negligible with that front rack? I have always had my eye on one.

                                  The weather is shifting to board sports, but still jonesing for two wheels.

                                    @dsco thank you. It’s even more dialed now days I think…

                                    The Fabio’s chest is definitely the IH of the bike bag world. And with a rack for support is solid. However when fully loaded and riding on the rough stuff I do worry about my carbon fork! 😬

                                    Here’s a couple recent pics of my smeltzer

                                      Some really nice bikes! Here’s my Richard Sachs cross bike used as my gravel grinder.

                                        @Brock those purple accents 🙌🙌. You weren't kidding, that is dialed. Looks like some beauty landscape to explore as well!

                                          @dsco thanks man! I’m pretty happy with it lately. One of my favorite things about bikes is how they can be ever evolving…

                                          How are you liking those supper yummys? I love everything that Simworks does.

                                          The cavas that I’m running currently are great on pavement and gravel but a little squirrely on hard packed dirt and loamy surfaces
