Just found out a former colleague/bike/ski buddy was found dead on local bike trail yesterday. WTF...
I see the cop almost daily, as he drives in at the same time as me. It's a 4-5 year old, forest green Impala with the old Colorado tags and you can barely see the light bar. Guy wears a suit and I've seen people tailgate him, them blow past at 80+ and he gives zero fucks. I'd assume he's a detective or high ranking up in Denver or Federal, because he drives past my office that way. His car only had the rear bar and high bar, but they went on before he even stopped moving. But oh man, he was fucking PISSED; you could see it when you drove past.
I just wish I had been in the Subaru because I would have gotten the dashcam of it.
On my way to a dentist. 
jesus. that's tough. sorry to hear it.
have you not been putting enough sunscreen on your teeth?On my way to a dentist.
Sorry man, that sucks.
Because my wife is mean (hygienist), I go every 4 months.On my way to a dentist.
Get I9 hubs or wheels. The instant engagement alone is worth it. Get yoself some muthurfuckin snap out the corners !
sorry @SkaredShtles - that sucks.
@jimmydean - you should be getting some trickle-down crabon bikes from your wife's line of work by now, right? . . . at least a set of enve wheels!
i'ma have to leave at 4:00 . . . it's raining and breweries are calling.

Good for you. Our insurance won't cover cleaning in less than six months.Because my wife is mean (hygienist), I go every 4 months.
not quite instant.
I'm more of a git push --force-with-lease man myself.
Dude. Sorry to hear. Condolences.
Know of anything faster ?
@SkaredShtles sucks man, sorry to hear that.
profile, stealth.
profile elite is 204 pt, stealth hubs use a roller clutch (like a sprag clutch)
So, the blade guard on my beard trimmer popped off as I was using it, resulting in a nice swipe taken out of the side. Instead of just cutting off the rest off the beard, I decided to leave it and see if anyone notices the baldish spot.
onyx also has a sprag clutch hub (not sure if its on the market yet). and box components has purchased the stealth hubs from true precision.
Fuck. One of the fittest guys I know... coroner's conclusion: heart condition.
i had a buddy go the same way during a cross way back in the fall.Fuck. One of the fittest guys I know... coroner's conclusion: heart condition.
and another buddy at an XC race probably a decade ago now.
Had a buddy die that way while XC skiing in GTNP this winter.
Granted, he was 70...but yeah, massive coronary.
Sorry for your loss, SS.

@SkaredShtles sorry to hear that man. That's not cool.
Is that a pickled beat I see? Shawarma....Morning ride did not suck
Major case of FTS going. Two more shifts on the short bus the a ten day vacation before I start flying a desk.
Almost have all our shit loaded and ready to head on out.
SS sorry about your buddy.

What kind of heart condition? Any details: HOCM perhaps?Fuck. One of the fittest guys I know... coroner's conclusion: heart condition.
I was holding out hope that A Basin would get a minor dumping on Saturday so as to make Sunday skiing worthwhile. Forecast was for 3-7" iirc.
That was a few days back. Current forecast is for 1-3" of snow along with rain on Saturday instead.

Best of all, mine is "free"! Cleaning is free, work is either done on trade (IT stuff around the office) or for cash discount as my insurance sucks.
Truth be told my wife is amazing at her job and makes for a pleasant experience. She has pissed off a few folks (other hygienists) because she temps at places on the side and patients then ask for her by name at those offices. She now has a regular every other Friday office because they have enough folks to fill a whole day just for her.
Working full time as a consultant and still collecting salary from the old job. It will take a long time before I will make this much in a month. I have already rewarded myself with the purchase of a new bike @jonKranked it will be road bike with XT Di2. Should hopefully have it next week and will report back. Its gravel bike build kind of like an old school / new school mtb. 40mm tires, 1x gearing and no suspension of course. I try to hit as much single track on the bike as I can. Denmark is flat and no rocks so this is a way to increase speed and fun factor.
Job search is shaping up pretty good. I hope to have a contract within the next two weeks. Should be much better than the shitty job I had.
Also we have borrow a car like this from my friend. I has so little in it that the passenger door does not have the centra lock and manual windows too. Broken AC of coure. Besides that its actually a sweet little city car and better than no car as

Yeah - this particular loop has basically ZERO roots or rocks. There is one set of rock stairs that is kinda fun... but it's just a smooth (and after their recent trail work, pretty flowy in spots) lunch ride that takes about an hour.
My boss is an annoying, pedantic son of a bitch. He was trying to argue that the ban on ebikes on pathways was only because of a simple discussion, motors or no motors. I argue that the potential speed differentials play an obvious role in this discussion. He insists that isn't true...it is ONLY about whether it has a motor, 1mph or 30.
I think he is married to his opinion.
He is also a condescending asshole.
There, I got that off my chest.
Carry on.

I do want, but I only need one wheel built at this time. Going to go with another Stans rim and hope rear hub. Front hub is fine (for now).
I9 wheels are $$$$$$ up here.
Got a call from the bike shop, said the Fork needs new air piston and wipers every 100hrs of riding or so. $80 for parts and labor. Will buy tools to do it myself eventually.
