Yeah - if they don't cause problems I'm not sure why anyone would have them pulled...

Whoa. Back in the home country? I hope she pulls through.
The vaccines aren't 100% effective. Anyone in a high risk category should still be taking precautions. The value of a vaccine has less to do with preventing an individual getting sick but creating an environment where the disease will stop spreading thus protecting everyone. Of course we will fuck that up because Americans are dumb and selfish. But hopefully we can get to a point where Rt<1 without further precautions.
How your MIL pulls through.
My dentist told me pulling them at my age was a risk - permanent damage of nerves, not worth the risk until they start causing problems.
Yep, my guess is it's the UK variant but we have almost no access to any details. Thank you, not looking great ATM.
Holy crap, about 12, 000 vert done so far today, and we are doing two more. I feel old...my riding buddy here is one of the fastest downhillers in thw country (32), and today we rode with his friend who is one of the fastest up and comers at 18.
I have like 10 DH top five Strava segment trophies here, so people must ride slow.
(Actually, I am humbled that they ride with me, I have been riding SO cautiously to prove to y'all that im not a total spaz).
So fun, this is just amazing.

I still have three of four - one self-destructed a couple of years ago.
Similar here. Just one pulled last year. I think they're all out now. Each due to cavity or gum health concerns. Essentially easier to pull than to fix.
waiting while 15yo does his vision test for driver's ed...one step closer to gtfo.
otherwise, not very productive today, as kids are on spring break. oh well.
gonna take the 11yo to an easier local trail that has a small tabled/progressive jumpline tomorrow. looking forward to that.

Nope, these are the same guys that win all of the races/etc. There just arent many of them.
2 weeks out from shot 1 is ~50% efficacy against symptomatic disease iircSorry to hear @StiHacka, especially on top of your bike news from yesterday. Maybe if you rode a 6 year old euro frame, you'd be OK
I am surprised that the vaccine didn't give your MIL at least some defense against it.
TY @Sandwich. I am keeping the Riot frame in a box for situations like this but I'll have to figure out how to effing unBoost a rear wheel or reBoost the Riot frame because of all the combinations of all Hadley adapters ever sold, I miss the 142/XD driver one.Sorry to hear @StiHacka, especially on top of your bike news from yesterday.

Re-the vaccine, she got seriously sick on the day of her second vaccination appointment - which she obviously missed.
Welp, the guy at work I recently introduced to biking went off alone to the trails "just for some climbing for exercise" on the main dirt road, and then decided he'd ride the DH track down on his own, alone, on Friday...on his Marin hardtail with a Suntour fork...and got a concussion and a broken wrist, only diagnosed today. Boss is thankfully not beating me up about it.
I should never have even shown him that stuff.

don't feel bad man. that's 100% on him. and if he really likes riding he'll be back at it again soon.
there are days I really miss walking dogs for s living....with the mountain views of course...
I have never taken anything for the couple of root canals I have had....People take drugs for this, other than OTC pain killers?Dafuq is wrong with them?
sorry about your family member and the rona....
The U.S. Military requires them to be removed so there is no chance of them causing problems at the wrong time. If you have them when you join, you wont by the time you are out.
Had all 4 of mine removed at once, and was having zero issues with them.
Ok, that was ridiculous, another 5,500 foot descent to top off the long day...and it was 100% pure concentration pucker-factor riding, with deathly consequences if you fuck up. Rode like the old man that I am. It felt like doing four or five Monarch Crests, but often a few thousand feet higher.
And I have to clarify...the top times from the riders ahead of me on trophy segments are a LOT faster and more talented. And don't have wives and kids 'n stuff.
This is just below where the last descent started, at *almost* 15,000 feet.

I sure am glad they gave me a px for Norco/Vicodin 'cause my face kinda feels like it was smashed several times with a maul.People take drugs for this, other than OTC pain killers?
Well today wasn't a total loss. Our 2021 Air medivac membership cards arrived. Totally worth the $65/ year to cover any costs if Ruth or I needs a life flight
