But I agree, what goes down has to pedal up.
And definitely hunt out the Red Carpet. Absolutely worth the climb up, the top two thirds is natural trail, bottom third pure flow, 100% fun.

I haven’t been there since getting fitter and enjoying the complete experience more.
Some of my mates love the place, some prefer youies/harcourt.
I prefer what I’ve seen of Silvan and Red Hill to Forrest...but again, ridden them more lately with a bit of fitness.

SLX ISPEC II bar adapter by curiousentity98
I bought the new SLX M7000 shifter for my bike. Found out that the ISPECII mount doenst fit on my hope levers. After some measuring and tinkering I thought I'd choose the easy way out and just make a simple yet effective handlebar clamp for the shifter since cleaner cockpits dont matter that...www.thingiverse.com
Now, next question, can anyone print one up?? Compensation to be paid of course.

Ouch! You're right, that is not coming good. You'd have to be fretting some insane guitar chords to use that brake lever now.
Having ridden Pins in the wet before and headbutting a tree, nothing gets me riding that in slippery conditions. Crusher was fine but still more lively than usual.
I know some work was done on Fall Line. It that is so choppy now. Still good fun as always.

Fortunately doesn't hurt much when I cough or sneeze, just when I twist my torso or get up from bed or out the car.

Eventually it passes. I haven't hurt my ribs for a long time. Last incident I thought I was going to die! Hit a tree flat out snowboarding. I could see the end of the 2 ribs pushing up again the skin in 2 small pointy lumps and I was making a real loud gurgling noise trying to get my wind back in. I was some freaky shit. It took many months to heal.

Some useful 3D printed parts, tools and accessories
Combining hobbies here, but I have printed a handful of genuinely useful things for my bikes and thought to list them out, none of these designs are mine but I have tested them and yet to break them Ayup light handlebars mount. These are just a copy of the standard mount you buy...

I can't help at the moment unfortunately, having some issues with my printer.

I did something similar to my Code lever, basically turned it into a J shape. I bent it back by slipping the end of a wrench over it and just using leverage, after placing a wooden block between the lever and handlebar to act as brace.
Couldn't bend it all the way back to straight, but fixed it enough that I'm no longer in the hunt for a new blade and it hasn't given my any dramas since.

Rib breaks suck. Even "minor" ones. I was the best part of a month before I could even get myself upright in bed on my own... Dont get pneumonia either.

I can't imagine, must be on par with a collar bone break!

I had both... collorbone, 6 ribs with 3 of them in two places each. Bruised lung.

I'd ordered some parts for the Suntour Durolux RC2 36 forks. As the A2C is ~10mm longer than comparable forks for the same travel it meant I had to play about with them.
Anyway, fitted a 150mm airshaft and I have to say they are the easiest fork to work on I've ever touched. 10min job and never a chance of the airshaft popping out and trying to blind you.
I've some of their firm negative springs to try too so I'll see how that makes a difference..

They are the absolutely best fork to work on hands down, they have really thought about the design.
I though it was the new EQ model that needed the air shaft the older ones were just spacers? Also if it is the EQ model, I though they went to an air negative spring and not the spring anymore. If it still is a spring I had better update my cart to make sure they put the soft spring in the Durolux I'm think of swapping for the pike I got with the Prime.

The new ones need different airshafts, so I now have 150mm, 160mm and 170mm. The spacers are for older / previous models.
Additionally, the negative spring assembly is different it seems. It used to be around the airshaft based on a video I saw and when I removed the installed airshaft it wasn't there. As I'm ~109kgs ready to ride it could make a nice difference...
Check with their customer support team, they're very responsive to emails.

Yeah I'll do a bit more research because I thought the new ones went to to an air spring like RS and Fox.

Before you drop the lowers looking for the coil spring check to make sure you need to. I thought I read somewhere that they had gone to air, bottom of the first paragraph.

Wonderful, I might now have two spring shaped paperweights. Thankfully they were about $15 or so.
