are rotors coated with anything on the braking surfaces?

Once used, brake pad material.

If they got fouled with mineral oil your best bet is to throw away the pads, clean the rotors very well, I prefer dish soap and water, rinse, then isopropyl alcohol. Install some new pads, brake in the rotors again and you'll be good to go.

Hello Monkeys! I am having a late breakfast in Ennis, Montana. Long ass ride yesterday with Rideit and Montana rider. Tired today.

This is about 10K elevation and 7 or 8 miles in.

Rideit is a monster climber.

Aww, shucks...but I am SURE 6thElement or Baboon would crush me!

My going back to work after 5/6 days of riding feels like a rather large mistake on my part.

Good Afternoon!!

Big storms rolled through the area last night, knocking out power to all parts of the county...our internet/phones have been toast for most of the day.....so needless to say, we all got a bunch of work done.

I would like to formally apologize to Taco Tuesday - my bad, dude....I got off work late, and had a ton of errands to do, and by the time I got to my side of town, I had completely forgot about what day it was. Listen, I'm just as upset as you are....how about I bump Wing Wednesday over to Spaghetti Thursday, we chunk Pizza Friday right out the window, and put you in its place?

Riding done. Picked up the 5010. Dropped off knives for sharpening. Now headed home with Thai takeout to feed the family tonight.

ripped through 144 emails today, maybe half didn't need anything from me. WTF is with people who "reply all"?

Because you're an important piece of the machine and if they've copied you then you can't blame them when something hasn't been done or goes wrong.

Rode late this evening while storms were rolling in. With all the dark clouds overhead, it was wicked dark, with occasional lightning showing me the way. Now G&Ts.

In other news, fucking REI sent me a used GPS watch as new, someone's dirt & sweat included, sans original accessories. Dammit, REI!!

Visibility with all the smoke from the fires is about 1 mile. Looked up the local bay area air quality map. it shows my area in red for very unhealthy. no riding in this crap

took Watson with me on the evening walk in the smoke. We walked for over and hour through the hood. I think he peed on at least a third of the lawns we walked by to mark his turf..good doggie
