Well, this will by my first winter here riding, so I have no experience. I'm thinking full studded because I have some big road downhills on my way to work and I want to be able to use my mountain bike for commuting and also trail riding. What do you use?SilentJ said:
Heidi, how do you go about making the move happen? Did you find a job in Bend before you moved there?Heidi said:
Same boat as you.Heidi said:
I think last week's back-to-back commutes (~80 miles) was too much too soon and my worn out system picked up whatever the perpetually sick woman 2 cubes down is spewing into the air this time. Why don't people just f'ng stay home?
No, but I was lucky. I came from SoCal so I had some equity built up when I sold my house there. I was fully prepared to live without a job for 6 months or get some piddly job just to cover some bills. We just decided to go for it.Snacks said:

I know it WILL be, but currently the mold and dust is making me a wheezing miserable mess.Echo said:Dude the air in my house got SO much nicer after I took out the carpeting... in the short term it might suck but overall you will be so much happier

LOL!!! That's always fun (having parents request you)...sometimes it can lead to some real pain in the arse parents, but for the most part it turns into a nice class. Where is she doing her masters?stosh said:Yeah she got an awesome class this year, if it wasn't for the stress of her master's classes she's be having a great year.
Apparently word spread after last year and all the parents were asking for their kids to be in her class. Thus all the kids who's parents didn't care got pushed out.
Yeah! I have the same allergies (dust & mold) and have been miserable at one of my schools that flooded and they are now replacing the moldy crap :mumble:robdamanii said:
