Picking up where we left off, showing Dave and his new Ebike more of the Brushy Creek lines.  As for me, I am waiting on a dropper for my Stance. Not fun or easy to quick release and quick unrelease for every little up in 1\/4 Notch\u2026Also didnt have tool to tighten down the hex which caused  my elevated seat to slowly drop, but the down hill was fun. Also a Progression Day, with a drop session I\u2019ve been eyeing but kinda afraid to do, till now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
