Day 2 as in 2 much fun and 2 many bikes! Got up, grabbed Camp 4 Coffee. Rode the road bike up from town to the ski hill. Get lift pass and get in line for the gates to open. The first bike I rode was the most interesting:<\/p>\n\n\n

A nice Zero bike. But I picked this one to try out the belt drive. Really interesting ride – I did some more cross country riding, including down and then back up a short ski run. This is a 12 speed bike and the belt drive and internal hub\/shift allows you to shift the whole range while not moving. Slightly different ride\/shift – but lower maintenance. A future bike will have a belt drive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demo bike #5. I rode the Intense 279 – the first mullet bike (a 29″ wheel in front, 27.5″ in back). I like the bike and how the mullet rode – roll right over more with the 29″ and a little more agility and control with the 27.5″. Glad I rode this to try it out.<\/p>\n\n\n

Demo bike #6 – Steel is Real! Rode a Reeb (the short travel). Really great ride! I rode both the downhill (frequency) – the bike definitely isn’t a pure downhiller by design; and also rode a more cross country trail – that was really fun and the bike shined.<\/p>\n\n\n

This was the only demo bike that had a cooler full of refreshing drinks upon return. No surprise from reeb – but definitely grateful for it:<\/p>\n\n\n

Thanks reeb!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Demo bike #7 – Lamere Trail. This was my favorite bike of the day. Just good fast fun (retail on the bike I rode was ~$8500 I think. It better be good! \ud83d\ude09 I liked talking with this company. I was interested in trying their e-bikes (but didn’t really come to try e-bikes on this trip – they didn’t allow e-bikes on the lifts). I especially liked the Lamere suspension design. Some sweet carbon – and it felt like it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Met up with Carrie for happy hour and then we rode our road bikes back down to town. Great Indian food at the Eldo for dinner. I wanted to demo this bike:<\/p>\n\n\n
