Bonner, from Bemidji, MN. Lived 14 years in and around Madison. Moved this summer. I miss my CORP!

Bikes: Trek 8000, Trek 930, Schwinn Madison (SS roadie). Desperately needing a fat bike.

Me and my brudders on a recent trip to Cuyuna Lakes (I'm in blue with a leaf covering my mug):







2009-ish Trek 8000:


BALLS rig (too small for me, and super heavy), 1999 Trek 930:


Doing what I do best at the old CRS:


Currently trying to make trail on my own 5 acres. It won't be much, but it'll be mine!

Chad, back living where I grew up, in Stoughton.

I seriously have no pictures of my bikes, or of me biking.  Maybe time to change that.

Cycles:

-Nate W's old Trek Rig SS with some new parts
-Old ass heavy Kona Kaboom that I just made into my "knock around town big-boy BMX bike"
-Schwinn Madison

I'm Kevin.  I live in Fitchburg.

I love mountain-biking, but tend to only get out during late Summer and Fall.  Spring & early Summer are dominated by paddling, and winter is all about skiing (mostly cross-country but a little telemark as well).

I try to commute the 13 miles each way to work at least once per week all year round.  Much of the route is on the very pleasant Capital City State Trail from Fitchburg to the S.E. side of Madison.

2013 Trek Rumblefish
2008ish Trek Soho S (Trek has since renamed this bike as the District S).  Currently running fixed-gear, drop bars, and rear rack.  Good-weather commuting bike.
2005ish Trek 1500 road bike.
1999ish Specialized Rockhopper.  Hasn't left the basement since the Rumblefish arrived.
1994ish Trek 820 Antelope.  Rack, fenders, and semi-slicks in summer and studded tires in winter.  Bad-weather commuting bike.

I'm Ashley, I've met some of the people on here, but many more I have not. I'm a graduate student in Madison. I've been mountain biking for 2 or 3 years now. I mostly ride at Quarry Ridge, but I try to get to Cam-Rock once every week or two. I live really close to Quarry Park, so once in a while I head over there, but I get confused by the layout and my bike is not too well suited for those trails. I also ride my CX bike quite a bit on the gravel trails and at Badger Prairie.

Here's a blurry photo of my MTB, a 2011 Trek/GF Paragon 29er HT set up 1x10:


...and one of my hipsterriffic singlespeed CX bike, an All-City Nature Boy:


...and here I am racing my geared CX bike, a 2006 Lemond Poprad with a few upgrades:

I have a road bike, too, but I won't sully the dirt forums with photos of it.

Hi, I'm Nick C.

I live on the SW side of Madison.
I like bikes.
I love technical riding.
I'm usually the guy trying to ride big stuff and falling off.

I have:

Trek Fuel EX
Giant STP
Echo Pure
Schwinn monstorcross
Lemond Zurich

I'm Bill. I live in Monona and work in Middleton. I'll ride a few XC races each year but am finding that most of my rides are structured around beer drinking opportunities. Sadly, most of my riding has been confined to commuting to and from work. Very glad to have met several of the incredibly nice folks that make up the CORP community. I hope to meet more of you in the future.

My stable varies annually but is currently filled with a:

Trek Top Fuel 9.8
Trek 2.1
Fuji 29er, aka "The Boob" bike. Still building but once finished I'll post a pic.
Scott ?? - a frankenbike that serves as the kid-puller, winter beater
