Good morning folks!! I’m tired and sore. Doing stuff all day everyday. I’m looking forward to my work trip so I can get a break. Yesterday got a good ride in and installed a hitch on the woman’s caddy so she can ride in my absence. After a work call we are going on a ride together.

still no takers on my fox 36 with scratched stancion, only has a season on it. Free with free shipping.
The cheapskate in me wants it...but I have zero use for such a thing as we all know linkage forks are vastly superior

Next time you ride thru they'll have all been squashed.
Yeah, you need some solid curbs as well. I have requested the same for the bike route that I take with my 4 year old to go to her preschool. The part in my neighborhood is great. The part outside my neighborhood is only painted on lanes, not nearly as great.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
the haze continues. work sent out an email to "use discretion" if going to the office. I'ma work from home, but i was planning on doing that anyways as I already put in my 3 on site days this week.

my plans to go to the bike park this weekend, however, may be impacted. :stosh:
We've cancelled all outdoor activities due to the haze for the past 2 days. Aren't allowed to open our windows either! Hoping it clears soon and the fires are under control.

On the hunt for a small SB115 if anyone happens upon one. It's one of my top choices for my next bike and I can't seem to find any locally (I would prefer not to pay the new price so used is my preference at this point unless someone has connections for me wink:wink)

Good afternoon!!!! Busy busy busy. I’ve been wanting to start a pay it forward thread but I’m aweful lazy. I have a fox 36 that needs a new home. Came on my megatrail in 2018 I think. Put a lufkappe piston in it but it was just not to my liking so when I dumped it in the rocks and scratched the stancion I changed to a lyric. 180 travel. Free to a good home.

I got to skip the board meeting. My colleague who handles the plan-level (I handle employee-level) stuff said they'd take care of it so that I can study instead. Also so that I don't have to deal with the board due to an issue that I found, which pulled a pension fuck up well into visibility. So, to the books now.

Hoping this lightning stays away as the amount of bolts dropping out of the sky viewing from my windows is nuts.

The neighbors Parakeet flew over to our porch. Hung out with us for a bit. Then the cat snuck on him. He flew back home. He taunted the cat for about an hour. Then fell asleep on his perch on their porch. I just checked on him. He's fine.
