Current conditions on Fitz side - fairly dry in woods, wet in open, not raining, some sun coming out. Also Spomer’s new album cover.

missed that Laurie Greenland is on the start list

That wasn’t rain. On the west coast if it doesn’t wake you up it doesn’t count. It’s been so dry up here that it’ll get soaked into the dirt. Roots and rocks will be greasy until they dry out

MSA World Champs 2032 (will it be hoverbikes by then? : ) The UCI Mountain Bike World Championships Return to Mont-Sainte-Anne in 2032 QUÉBEC, September 23, 2026 — The Corporation Événements d’été de Québec (CEEQ), Cycling Canada (CC), and the Fédération québécoise des sports cyclistes (FQSC) enthusiastically welcome the decision by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) to award the 2032 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships to Mont-Sainte-Anne.

I bet every single person reading this thread spends more than $11 every time they go to a coffee shop. That stupid (delicious) cardamom latte could help pay for high quality DH racing. I know I’ll be paying for this, come join me on the virtual couch.

All of this plus a B Practice pod, it's been forever!

Is there any specific coverage ya'll want from this week? Trackside updates? Specific pit bits tech? Find out what tire pressure riders are running? etc. etc.

Blacksting sound like something you get after eating too much Taco Bell...
