You should make a poor decision and join @Full Trucker and I when we nail down a date to ride Marshall Pass to Buffalo Pass on the CT.We used to just do the Guanella -> Bruno ride. That one is pretty "short"...
My bad, was glancing at Google maps when I posted and it has a Buffalo Pass campground right near there.And it's North Pass... not Buffalo. Buffalo Pass is up by Steamboat.
When I first read it my reaction was, "Fuck off you nutty Brit." But then I, too, saw that campground and settled down a bit. Marshall -> North is still a bit nutty, don't get me wrong... but not nearly as nutty as what I thought you were proposing.My bad, was glancing at Google maps when I posted and it has a Buffalo Pass campground right near there.
And I am interested in this if you have the patience to have me along.
You're not going to show up anyway.
Great, now I want honey roasted cashews.When I first read it my reaction was, "Fuck off you nutty Brit." But then I, too, saw that campground and settled down a bit. Marshall -> North is still a bit nutty, don't get me wrong... but not nearly as nutty as what I thought you were proposing.

There are some absolute bullshit climbs in that.
Not even 5K climbing? Do that off the couch...
Srsly - I ain't been on that section since my thru-hike of the CT. I was much younger then.
Sounds like almost every segment of the CT.
I watched the 1971 “classic” The Vampire Happening. Dracula arriving at the party by helicopter was pretty impressive.
The saga of my non-existent hearing continues, nobody seems to be able to figure it out but I suspect a large part of the doctor's ;ack of success is a lack of effort.
At least I got to ride yesterday, so that was nice.

Looks like I'm going to Sheridan to change a computer instead. At least 15 easy hours of OT.
Might ride after work.
Edit:. And as I walk through the hangar door it's now also stop in Casper to find/fix hydraulic leak. If I have to swing gear I'm going to be very upset.

Doh. I missed the start of this. Hearing issues? Fuuuuu.
Hearing loss sucks man, hope it clears up.
Yeah, in combination with sinus issues. Every time I talk to a new Dr they say the same thing "What, you're 35, way too young for this kind of hearing loss", and since I have ongoing sinus issues they always think they're related, but never get past some basic diagnostics and a "whelp, that's very strange, let us know if anything changes". It's frustrating, they won't even give me hearing aids because I don't have an actual diagnosis other then "deaf as shit"
have you been to an ENT?
Have you had a hearing exam where they put you in a sound proof room with headphones and play a series or noises and ask if you can hear them ? If not make an appointment. I did and while it didn’t improve my hearing it did give me a better understanding of the problem. Unfortunately hearing aides won’t help me but I now take steps to protect what’s left like wearing noise canceling headphones while running loud machines.
Good luck.
Yep, they pulled a Shrek-esq glob of dried earwax out of my ear and said I was otherwise fine.
Been getting the run around on an actual hearing test. Kaiser is great if the tests you need done can be done in their facility, if not, they kinda suck. I'd have figured the number of times I say "what, can you repeat that" during a visit would have counted as a hearing test.
The most annoying part is that I've always been great about wearing PPE around loud shit. When I was on the shop floor I usually had ear plugs with muffs over them. Now here I am not hearing shit, and the guys I worked with who barely wore ear plugs, and when they did didn't wear them right are fine.
Fudge. At least I know why my hearing kinda sucks. I just had a bunch of diagnostics run to confirm I listened to too much loud music, but that seems to be what happened.
That sucks. My wife lost hearing in one ear due to some viral crap a few years back. She's still irritated by the whole thing...
are you sure she's not just using it as an excuse to ignore you moreThat sucks. My wife lost hearing in one ear due to some viral crap a few years back. She's still irritated by the whole thing...
Once you've ridden our "trails", as you refer to them, you will then understand how certain bikes come to originate.
When I moved to CO I had a 575 set up as an aggressive trail bike for CA. Oh boy... That did not last long in CO. Things changed after I melted my brakes on my second ride here. Where the first I almost died from hypoxia chasing the Yeti guys for a casual lunch ride. Bigger brakes, burlier suspension, bigger tires and more stout wheels, broader gearing range. Even then I ended up bumping to the sb66 shortly thereafter, because I needed a trail bike, not an XC bike.
Everything's a trail bike if you're not a bitch

Subscribed, I need to do this. Wifey just had a shingles episode last week. Let us know how you feel.
in other news, Wifey also got a colonoscopy this morning, she was none too happy about the prep.
on that note, it does appear that hayes is working on some 220mm rotors for the dominion series brakes.
One of the mom's at Hannah's school dropped her keys, with a pepper spray cannister, just inside the front door. It exploded, spraying pepper spray all over the hallway and entryway. Women there had no idea how to clear it, or even what it was, because apparently she took off right away...
They had no fans, so no way to blow it out. When I left, they had just sent one to TGT to get a fan and set up airflow.
I'm just waiting for the email to all families making sure no one brings pepper spray in again...
