Skratch orange FTW.

i've only tried one or 2 flavors from each brand. i find skratch tastes better, but i feel like i get less dehydrated with osmo. this is a totally unscientific analysis.
you drink this on the ride, or before the ride?
Always during. When it's really really hot (like now) I will have some pre ride as well.
Good Afternoon!!
Just got back in from a nasty day of outside installs and surveys. Gonna do about 2500 s.f. of vinyl graphics on the scoreboard panels at the new minor league ball park in High Point next week. That's going to be a hot one - we work from 6am to 1pm on the side opposite the sun, then switch up and do the other side at night after the sun goes away. Can't install vinyl in 100 degree heat...it stretches too much and the panels won't line up correctly. But, the upshot is a $500 bonus for the fast turnaround for each of us. Yay!!!

I have a buddy that just bought a crabon Jeffsy 29 on sale for like $4600... XTR, crabon wheelz, Guide RSC brakes, some e-thirteen bits and bobs, Renthal bars and stem, proper Fox 36 fork and DPX2 shock i.e. not the Performance line... super nice spec actually. I rode it a bit on trail a couple days ago and it's a nice riding bike for twice the money. Oh, and it comes in XXL and fits him at 6'4" as well. Was a skosh big for me at 6'2" but eh...
Also, consider the 29er version. Also also, consider the Jeffsy vs. Capra... a little more trail and less enderpo for the riding you're most likely to do? And that Jeffsy felt PLENTY capable for anything you're gonna mob it down, including shit like Lenawee.

Gov't says it's 107.6°F outside with the humidity. Be careful out there...
I am going home from work for the last time this month. 5 weeks off... here I come!
It's insanely hot and humid in downtown Boston. Subway experience is the eight circle of hell.
I can deal with heat but can't handle the humidity. My body just cannot drain the excess heat and my HR just shoots up without proper recovery.

That’s exactly what happens to me with the humidity. Hit redline and stay there.
I was correct to have doubts. Phone seems to be locked to the Sprint network, I am a Verizon customer. On teh chats with Sprint right now seeing if they can set the phone free.
Not dead. But can confirm, twas hot.
And humid. I mean look at this shit:
All in all, awesome conditions though. Bone dusty dry, but either because of the humidity or rain this morning, the roots were wet.
Found an old trail being cleaned off...
I am in the summer doldrums...I haven’t wanted to ride my bike in a week since I ate shit, so I won’t. The bruises are a nice technicolor...
Maybe it was the heat. Maybe it was the annoyance. I finally rode a wheelie twice. Kind of did a manual also. Did it on the Bridgestone. Took the Contis off and replaced them with a old set of a Panaracer Smoke and Dart combo. To tell the truth it gave me confidence when I got off course that the contis didn't. I am not sure how or why. The dirt was perfect today.
It was way too hot today to be inside in the air-conditioning so I went for a 3:45 hike with 23 pounds.
