That may well have been Todd Munson, as he said he was out at Apex on 6/6 doing some Enchanted laps. Do you know him? He's a poster on NASIOC and apparently a top-5 Masters Enduro racer. He's faaaast.
Don't know him, but it could be? The dude was super polite, let us know he was behind us and would like to pass, etc. And when he did pass, it was literally mind-blowing how quickly he accelerated.
To her credit - she simply just doesn't believe me any more. I think she finds it endearing at this point in our relationship, though. So I have that going for me, which is nice.
Locavore. Lillyhammer IPA. Then I had a Sculpin on return home. Probably should have not had the 3rd.
i saw an e-biker last night. almost ran someone off the trail while he was climbing (the rider he almost ran off was climbing too).
There are douche canoes in every sport. Maybe the eBike will make it easier to pick them out of a crowd?
This. I've certainly run across rude riders on regular bikes (turquoise, polished, and otherwise), too.
probably. to be fair, a-holes riders are always gonna be a-holes, e-bikes just give them new and faster ways to be a shit stain.
The turquoise makes it easier to pick out the dentists, haven't you been paying attention?
of all the other bikes i saw on the trails last night mine was probably the most dentist.
My bike is pretty f'cking bougie... but far from the most dentist on the trails last night. Holy balls this place.
i saw a few santa cruz's with good parts, and a pivot, but i'm pretty sure they were all stock builds.
This is why mine ain't the bougiest of the bougie. I've got metal rims, for cry eye!
there's a director in my building that's jealous of my bike (despite being 26") because of the build i've got. and he rides a yeti.
Russell Millerica early Saturday morning?
unrideabru
First thing I thought, too.
Weren't you informed the other day that you'd be working weekends all summer, or something like that? Maybe he's trying to play nice in the sandbox? Maybe I give people to much credit?
I boug'ed the ever living snot out of the first super nice XC bike I built up myself (rather than doing a stock build) and it was DOPE... dripping with XTR, CrossMax XL wheelset, Thomson e'erythang, crabon bars, yadda yadda yadda. After that bike I decided that "one or two notches below the toppest of top end" is where I wanna be for components. Translates into "mostly XT with a few non-critical SLX bits" spec if using the Shimano taxonomy. Been working well for me. And metal wheels? Totally fine, except that they're unrideabru.
It's the heat and high humidity that is the real killer for me. My body was not built for that crap.
it's mostly the humidity. humidity is very high on the Kill List.
This won't be a killer, but it *will* slow you down. Don't ask me how I know.
We run a humidifier year-round in the Casa de Skared.
we run them in the winter here.We run a humidifier year-round in the Casa de Skared.
Even having one running year-round I still wake up with crusty boogies.
What's the rules on e-motorbicycles in the Mass?
KILL LIST.What's the rules on e-motorbicycles in the Mass?
True. I'm going to miss not feeling the river of sweat pour down my back and a damp ass chamois at the end of the ride.

Windows are open and with the cold air coming up from the basement we stay at a nice 72-74* no matter the outside temp. If it gets too hot I just fire up the whole house fan to blast the hot air that's been building up on the top floor and it kind of resets the temp. Energy efficient and cheap ftw.
At least I dont have an AC!
