Finally out of the office. Fuck today.

- Thread starter Nick
- Start date
I did a few commits that probably should have been pull requests, but fuck it you only live once.
I would like to attempt the Darién Gap.
By pedaling. And floating where necessary.
Blowing out rear spokes halfway through a ~1600ft descent when you've reached the rocky stuff = kill list.
Yikes. How many did you blow up?
For the record - descended LotB this morning and there wasn't a SINGLE other trail user on it all the way to the creek.
On Monday from the top of Belcher to the bottom gate I came across 3 hikers (2 + 1, both on the bottom stretch after the lower creek) and 1 biker (on Whippletree). It was amazing.For the record - descended LotB this morning and there wasn't a SINGLE other trail user on it all the way to the creek.
Most of the bike lanes/trails in seattle are retired trolly and train tracks that were necessary before cars were common. I suspect your corner of the world was primarily developed post automobile.

@Westy two questions, #1 applies to anyone who has rode in the area mentioned below...maybe @Toshi has been there prior to the move?:
1: Have you rode Sun Mountain area in Winthrop? We are headed there this weekend. My boys each get a new bike. I have a broken derailleur.... guess they'll probably need the handicap since I'm the only one who's been riding all summer!!
2: Buffalo wants to know if you are Westy because you have a Westy (I know you have a blue VW, but, like, is a a Cabrio?), or due to your geographical location. If it is the former, pics please
Have not ridden that particular neck of the woods.@Westy two questions, #1 applies to anyone who has rode in the area mentioned below...maybe @Toshi has been there prior to the move?:

As Toshi mentiones I own no westy but have a nice new blue VW Aaaargh and a 50 year old Volvo wagoon.
apparently i fuxxored my rear derailleur at the bike park on sunday-it would randomly lock forward and drop my chain behind the cassette multiple times today, often as i was descending through rocky chunk. new rear derailleur procured otw home. fortunately i am cheap and still run 10sp so it wasn’t too pricey
Just spent about an hour chasing an undeclared function 'cause of one character with incorrect case...
I rode at Sun Mountain about 10 years ago. It was great fall singletrack! It was all xc oriented trails but it was a fun day, for sure.1: Have you rode Sun Mountain area in Winthrop?

First contact with the Sow after I killed Cindy Loo. She grabbed my leg. I could feel her teeth. I was scared. She let go. I felt if I tried to pull away she would have fucked me up. Getting stomped is no fun. She gave me kisses and licked my leg before I fed her (Corn,lettuce, leeks, and oats...). I am the only one allowed to touch the piglets it seems.

whoa I am wiped out. All out effort on the road bike for almost 2 hours. 30.7 miles in 1:52 with a 16.33 average. It was really windy, I was leaned over in the drops in the crosswinds and definitely on the drops into the head winds. Its been a long time since I have been a post ride endorphin Zombie...wheee

Beer, Bong, and ear plugs
tasty beer time.
Take that wingdings!
Now, debug that shit!
'cause way back I wrote a big Monte Carlo routine for worst case component tolerance analysis for the Space Shuttle OMS fuel gauging totalizer in that garbled de gook, and it worked...
He added up some numbers to make sure things were the right size.
