Sounds like a better ride than we had on Wednesday. The snow was so thick and wet that we'd roll to a stop, while going downhill.

we encountered the aftermath of people who did the same on Wednesday. Many (many) frozen ruts in DH sections, especially in corners and when the grade leveled off.... We also encountered untracked snow, and it wasn't compacting, mostly that sugary granular stuff. In other parts, people had snowshoed the trail, and it had set beautifully. It's really so awesome when it's like that...

One downside of studs that I hadn't considered, is the extra care I need to take putting the bike into the back of car with. Can't have one of the tires rubbing a hole through a seat or something...

old towels... old towels everywhere!

what did the dog do to get famous?

nothing yet. but he might end up on the news if he would somehow suddenly disappear.

 

[Jozz]

But... but... it's *ski* season.

I don't ebike also.

Just amazon this @canadmos. People use regular tire bags. Or buy the fancy Blivet stuff.

<ahem> "Texas Wheelchair," please.


We are also planning to do this... except instead of leaving at noon as was the plan, we are now leaving after the eldest gets off work, which will be more like 5pm. Now instead of 4 people in the Xterra with all their ski gear, we'll have 5. And there's a winter storm warning, so it'll take ages to get up there.

Contemplating just saying, "Fuck it."

Probably won't.

You're already traffic.

Fighting with Powerwalls, which are not communicating with the network.

What powerwalls are you using? I’ve been running various setups over the years.

I took off work this afternoon with the hope of getting out for a ride. It's currently 20 freedums and 30 mph winds, so that's not happening.

Saturday-Tues the forecast high is 7 freedums, so much for getting outside this long weekend.

Without looking them up I will assume they are teslas? If so they are finicky about firmware updates.

Been looking at a longer ride for a mini-break with the wife.

Old Ghost Road looks interesting. That site combined with Trailforks is pretty useful.

Is it *actually* technically interesting? I don’t have much interest in fireroad stuff and/or miles of green. It says dark blue and black but I have ridden some of the others that recon they have black and yeah nah.

I think we only did a dozen miles out and back, I'd liked to have been able to do more. I don't think we reached the singletrack proper if I remember correctly. I'm sure there's a million YT videos out there which will show the terrain further in.

Teslas, installed 12/2019. I have no idea how to install firmware updates. Can you point me to something?

found this on Reddit

Open the gateway and scan the QR code to connect to the gateway WiFi, the password should be written below the QR code. Then open your web browser and then type in 192.168.91.1. It should take you to the commissioning screen where you can update the software.

Houthi rebels fired missiles at my Hot Water Heater. Taking it out. I called the Army and Air force about it. They recommended I call a plumber. I am fucking pissed. Now I have to take matters into my own hands.

Do you think the Houthis know this?

Most certainly , thus the turmoil

Upon closer inspection during removal. It was a rust patch on the bottom of the water heater that caused the failure and not a missile attack. I suspect you knew that...
