I would join myself and The Pharmacist for 10 days in Perú in November.Well fuck.
It’s nearly August and I’ll be danged if I haven’t done a better job of taking advantage of my company’s unlimited PTO policy. I’ve taken a week off for my birthday, and a handful of days here and there. I should put at least one more full week (and some 1-3 day stints) in the calendar ASAP.
If y’all had a week or two to go somewhere rad to ride (likely solo) where would you go?
Of note: I am headed to Squamish for a few days over Labor Day, so I’ve got that going at the moment.
Too adventurous?Whatever you do, stay away from the stuff south of Mt. Garibaldi. Holy shit did that turn an awesome ride into an exercise in survival.

I mean... far be it from me to tell anyone what to do with their life... but FTS.To go caving.
You could come join me for some humidity and okish trails in the homeland.Well fuck.

Wtf. How are so many people incapable of understanding how to pay out cash in a proportionate ratio? If we agree to split the cash 80/20 then for every $100 available one person gets $80 and the other gets $20. Sure, it won’t always be an even $100 amount to split, but you can always double check that the bigger chunk should be four times the smaller chunk.
I’m convinced that a certain business contact was a huge pain about setting up an allocation schedule because they essentially don’t understand this concept. My hunch was confirmed by the proposal I just received where they shorted their split by a significant amount.
I am also not interested in going to space for many of the same reasons.I mean... far be it from me to tell anyone what to do with their life... but FTS.
The problem of how male humans treat women; it doesn't stop.Is it asking a lot for an inseam of at least 3" on a pair of shorts? It's not like I'm saying cover to the ankles. Far from the moral avenger here, but acknowledge that there are a LOT of church folk here. And those gentlemen/creepers have some very questionable side looks towards the 11y/o who looks like she's 13+... /Arguments with daughters.
I mean... these types of shorts probably do exist... but would she wear them? ++vibes for all you dads of tween/teen girls.

Oh, they exist. I'm taking a mild win with the high waist, since they can't get pulled up any higher, which forces the length to be at least have a floor. But wifey gets to really enjoy this process.I mean... these types of shorts probably do exist... but would she wear them? ++vibes for all you dads of tween/teen girls. That's a tough row to hoe.
Everything south of the river was teh suck. Overgrown single-track that was full of loose rocks and sand with lots of punchy climbs. Zero fun, especially when I was running on empty after riding a bunch of laps on Giribaldi.Too adventurous?
Not sure if you mean distance, elevation, technicality, or all of the above. Plenty of each in that map.
Better than the mosquitos that will carry you off from your god forsaken homeland
I would never suggest he travel to *my* homeland. That place sucks. Not as much as Indiana, mind you...Better than the mosquitos that will carry you off from your god forsaken homeland
Heh. Somewhere over there is bit of a mission. Fun, but a pretty big investment for the ride.Everything south of the river was teh suck.

In his case, that would have been suicide.Glad that it was cancer and not him getting wacked.
¿Por qué? Oh, THIS is why! Solid suggestion, though I probably can't quite swing another int'l trip this year what with all the stupid home improvement projects we have going on. Buy a house, they said...The Dolomites.
Back to Pisgah is not out of the question... not by a long shot.You could always visit the east coast
Lots in the PNWet that I haven't ridden. On the list, not sure about this year due to my timing now being mid-October of maybe later.En route to the Pacific NW, Kettle Crest has been on my list for a decade now...
One of these days:
Already slated to fly into YVR to ride Squampton with The Canadan and our respective SOs for our 2-year anniversary / Labor Day weekend. Noted about Julesburg.I'd fly into YVR with my bike and ride the shore and Squamish, with @Da Peach .
if not that, I hear Julesburg is nice.
We'll be riding with locals, which means that we'll either be spared said suffering or explicitly and purposefully subjected to it.Whatever you do, stay away from the stuff south of Mt. Garibaldi. Holy shit did that turn an awesome ride into an exercise in survival.

Things have changed somewhat since my first post, in that I am likely now gonna do whatever I do with a couple additional fellas. I'll probably reach out though, because this doesn't sound like it would suck and does fit my "schedule". Not sure I can swing the expense of another int'l trip this year though...I would join myself and The Pharmacist for 10 days in Perú in November.View attachment 197996
Negative, Ghostrider.You could come join me for some humidity and okish trails in the homeland.
Will have to have a look at this, I know nothing about it. Would it be good in mid-October? The buddy I'm headed to Squamish with is a Newfie, might ask him if he's ever ridden there.Le Québec City my dude.
ps, unless you'd rather not get hurt.
Mid October can be either warm with spectacular fall color or cold and rainy. Every year is different.Will have to have a look at this, I know nothing about it. Would it be good in mid-October? The buddy I'm headed to Squamish with is a Newfie, might ask him if he's ever ridden there.
Just lightning and rain here.
We had sheets of rain for about 10 minutes... thought the street was going to overflow. Light rain pretty steadily since the initial onslaught. I don't think the spicy stuff is done with us yet, either.Just lightning and rain here.
I'm in Breck. It DUMPED rain for over 2 hours here, like, in sheets. Trails will be primo tomorrow.We had sheets of rain for about 10 minutes... thought the street was going to overflow.

What happened?Roight.
Should you find yourself back ‘round here, I can show you some non-deathmarch fun.
Just gotta let my thumb re-stabilize.

My physio showed me this…. Not sure it’s the ticket…
Well, 3hrs later and it's still dumping and the lightning show is gonzo.We had sheets of rain for about 10 minutes... thought the street was going to overflow. Light rain pretty steadily since the initial onslaught. I don't think the spicy stuff is done with us yet, either.
Bit of a lawn dart moment on some of the awesome terrain I can’t ride at the moment…What happened?
