Maybe the right-wingers are right. Maybe we are raising a generation of coddled weaklings... I mean, it's not like we live in Canada or anything... where winter weather is a reality 4 months of the year....
good thing I stocked up on beer and bourbon at lunch today (Elijah Craig in case anyone cares!)
Sitting at the woodstove wondering if I should accidentally a Transition Patrol. Checks a lot of boxes…just wish they’d put the fucker on sale or send a discount code to their SPAM subscribers…
#weathermonkey.com 22F here and no one has moved more than about 10 feet from the woodstove yet today…

I have been on last minute urgent visits to Warsaw three times in the last two months. Hurry up with that pump track!

Dude, I’ve got a garage of Sasquatch sized bikes. Let’s ride. I’d even let you ride the new one.
Great end to the day finding two boxes from different monkeys in my mail box.
@boostindoubles apricots are 100% worth it. Fucking delicious. Planning to eat them until I get the shits.
Aaaand I’m assuming a RMSS box. Will open and post photos.

Holiday traffic hell trying to get home from work. I am in an apartment neighborhood that has one lane each way and stretching down its center length is a lane with broken yellow lines on each side to let cars pull out of traffic to make turns in or out of driveways and not block traffic. The speed limit is 35. I am leading a parade of cars out of a stop light. A guy in a metallic Blue BMW with a modified (loud) exhaust some 15 cars back decides its an entitled persons passing lane and pulls in and floors it. I can see him coming up at 60+ . Just before he reached me, The Alameda County Sheriff in the oncoming traffic pulls into the turn lane, hits his lights, leans out his window. points and screams at the BMW. "Pull over now". The Deputy looked like he was going to kill the guy. I applauded the deputy as I drove past and watched him flip a u-turn and pull the SOB over. Merry Christmas sucker

Down to needing 2912ft/day for the next 9 days, 26,204ft of vert to go to hit half a mill for the year.
I've done 26,214ft in the last 7 days, so should be doable.
Most I've ever done in 7 days was 45,000ft, but that was a long time ago and in June

working late again because my software engineers can't software, they certainly can't get their software to work. I ain't no software engineer but I know when shit doesn't work and can identify fucking typos. Lazy fuckers.
That escalated quickly. My driveway is a slip hazard. I damn near busted my ass taking out the garbage.

Better limber up buddy if we're going to ride next week
decided to come home this afternoon instead of tomorrow morning b/c it was raining/snowing up there all day, bunch of ice on everything already, a whole lot more gonna form when it goes from 34 to -2 between midnight and 8 am tomorrow and the roads are...not ideal...for that for the first 1.5 hours of the drive. as a bonus wife is sick as hell. i decided to forgo the sling today. zero pain, just the bump and weird clicks and pops if i move my left arm too far up/back/out. guess i'll get an xray tomorrow to be safe.
carry on.
carry on.
What you really need is a few pump track building companies that are good at lobbying local governments. Pumptracks here basically replaced basketball courts and skateparks as local investments. They are getting used to since every kid has a bike or a scooter.
The other option is what Warsaw has been doing which is delegating part of it's budget to direct democracy where people can qualify their ideas for a vote. There is a site where 2 times per year ( I think?) people who pay taxes in the city (it's a way to incentivise people to register in the city and increase revenue) can vote for those ideas. A lot of them have been pumptracks and the local bike community was good at organizing votes.
I'm a bit bummed our best pumptrack of the city didn't win enough votes for lights and though local government shenanigans we lost the pizza place- bike shop - iluminated pump track - party place. Since that was a good mix but I can't really complain.
All of those are done by 2 companies:
Wykonawca pumptrack - Veloprojekt
Zajmujemy się kompleksowym wsparciem zleceniodawcy w procesie inwestycyjnym, projektowaniem oraz wykonawstwem rowerowych placów zabaw typu Pumptrack wraz z profesjonalnym zagospodarowaniem terenu wokół, poprzez dobranie elementów małej architektury oraz zieleni.
veloprojekt.com
BT is doing them all around Europe. Not sure about Velo. Look at the pics on their sites. Some of them are a bit wonky but they got better at designing them and 90% of them are really good.
One of the companies also is not finishing the largest one in Yurp. Not sure what's the point of a super long pumptrack but it's still nice to have one
They are, in fact, made to both walk and ski. When I switched from snowboarding to skiing ~14 years ago, it was for mobility and ski touring capability. I’ve never* owned skis or boots that couldn’t go uphill.
Lange XT3 130. I liked the way the touring-focused version (XT3 Tour, because “tour”) I got last year fit and walked, but was never super stoked with the way they ski. I tried a bunch of mods that did make them ski better, but basically put them within a couple-tree ounces of the “50/50” version. So, I bought the 50/50 version and Hoe-Lee do they ski way better. I can only assume it’s the difference in plastic (PU vs. Grilamid) but what do I know? I wasn’t aware one needed to be a fucking materials scientist to ski. I’ll get ‘em out for a walk in the next few days, I expect they’ll be just fine. Maybe not quite as good as the Tours but way better than my old battleship Scarpas.what boots did ya get?

This is pretty dang cool, and is something my small town has done as well. In the last vote, the folks here voted on building a small bike park next to the new skatepark that was just built a year ago. Pump track and dirt jump lines, I believe. The project was voted in, and they’ve started hauling dirt to the location. Pretty cool, and it’s a few blocks from my house. To be fair, my town is so small basically everything is a few blocks from my house…
Any other brands / models I should consider? I am currently on a Bronson, but SC pricing has gone from ridiculous to insulting. So, they’re out. The Patrol in XL is almost perfect, but I want to be sure not to overlook something else out there…
I have a pretty raging hard on for my Sentinel. It checks a lot of boxes for what I like and ride when not in IN. But it is one of those dang 29ers.
I looked at the whole line up - Scout, Sent, Spire and Patrol. I really like the way my current 27.5” handles, but the wagon wheel up front seems like it should help in the rough stuff.
why not just mullet the bronson with a new fork/front wheel? if you don't like it i'm sure you could sell...i've thought about that a lot with my nomad...
I absolutely considered this, BUT my biggest problems with the Bronson is the slack seat tube angle. Mulleting it would make things worse I think. The Patrol puts the seat a lot further forward when seated for climbing. Long is great going downhill, but my worn out back can’t handle being bent over when climbing…
Wouldn't you lower front travel if mulleted?
Thought about doing it for my Scout. I'd probably drop front travel from 150 to 140 to mostly retain angles.
Also, on my very short list, but by time I spec it out to my liking, the price gets crazy. I should probably take a look at what I can reuse from the Bronson to keep the price reasonable, but a lot of standards have changed since I bought it.
Probably also some ptsd involved in looking at the Nicolai website.
Reminds me of my own German employer…
The feedback here makes me think I am on the right track….

When I thought about, I had planned to keep the travel the same and possibly even jump from Fox 36 to 38. I assumed that would raise the front end. I am not too interested in decreasing front travel…worth a thought though…
It adds up - larger wheel diameter + longer A2C == no bueno unless you can bring the front end down somehow.
