I have no idea where I am
Lost count of how many consecutive days that I have been riding, hiking or walking. Must be getting close to two weeks. Usually try to do something six days a week but have been making up for time lost dealing with deer crash/car shopping experience.

So, of course my legs are sore. And what would make that better you ask ? Moar hiking with weight. Hanz und Franz session inbound.

Mach chicken was attempted and occasionally approached, but hikers and mopeders stifled any record attempts on today's ride.

Okay this makes me think the weather may hold. We didn’t get any snow on the divide down here from the last storm, and for now there’s only a chance of precip mid-week.

It's improved a little as it was rain Wed-Fri when I checked yesterday, just those night time temps need to stay warm enough for us so that 4000ft higher it's not dumping white stuff :p

I think the top of Granite is actually 5500’ higher than town, which is pedantic but also illustrates your point more I think.

Also, be ready for me to suggest / insist on a Fooses or Greens chaser.

have heard rumors that a revamped lineup is on the way.
I've also heard similar rumours. Maybe it's a "bad time" to get a new bike, with next year's models right on the cusp of being released, but whatever.

So the rumours I had heard were that the Sixfinity linkage (which is used on the e-Bike) was going to propagate to the rest of the lineup. But this seems to suggest that the new models will just be a refinement / iteration on the current Switch Infinity linkage. So yay, my current SB150 won't be utterly unridabru, nor will the soon.
