where the trails are
I've been to and ridden in North Conway, it was rad. I don't think the 6th's are much for snow/cold, and they have real winter there.

my house has these and vinyl siding. it came that way, and I'm gonna ride it out until it's time to replace the siding.
My house in Virginia came with them. People who bought the house put them back , cut down all the trees in the front yard to make a parking lot and put up 2' high fake plastic picket fencing that encloses no area

I'm still trying to figure out why boomers would buy a giant goddam house... WTF is wrong with people?
Gotta fill it up with tchotchkes. The, "I paid a lot of money for this, it is your inheritance" collection of beanie babies, or Hummel statues, or some other collectible that nobody wants and isn't worth the effort to try and sell, except to another boomer so they can add it to their collection.

My uncle owns a storage unit facility and recently commented about how much money he makes off people that mindlessly hold onto extraneous shit that they don't need but can't bring themselves to throw away.
They key is to just not buy shit you don't need or will never use. However my basement is full of worn out old bikes. At least I wore them the fuck out.

My grandma had a metric shit ton of those God damned Franklin Mint "collectable" plates and I wound up with boxes full of them when she died. Kept them in the crawl space for probably 20 years. When we moved I started looking around on the Internet to see if they were worth anything to anyone. They absolutely were not. Every single one of them went in the dumpster and that was the exact sum total of the inheritance any of us got from her.


Well that, and generational trauma.

lol this thread delivers.
my parents crawl space has every piece of luggage they have owned. Hard sided shit from the 70s, shitty nylon from the 90s, and the modern lightweight stuff too. It’s like 14 suitcases and carry ons. WTF

NORCAL is the hizzle
Sorry to hear about this and hope it works out.

Well FTS. Every time we go to the Bay Area it feels like I'm going to die from the humidity. Anything in Northern CA and progressing north from there will be more humid - it's the beginning of the temperate rain forest that is the redwoods which drifts all the way up to Alaska.
Really? Maybe it's perspective as compared to CO? I moved to the Bay Area from New England and never feel humidity, particularly at the coast. I actually miss the occasional hot humid summer night. Looks like you're right about further North though.

I think the intensity of the sun here could be playing a part too. Somehow more testing is required outside of CO...

Sunshine has always felt way more intense to me in the west, moreso in the PNW. I think a lot has to do with low humidity and perfectly cloudless skies. East coast is rarely cloud free and the humidity actually absorbs the infrared light that feels hot. Up north the sun is always low in the sky and has a better angle of incidence to cook you.

SC is definitely a college town. fall weekends when there's a home football game are an absolute shit show. clears out a lot in the summer at least.

it is very much a speck of civilization smack dab in the middle of deep pennsyltucky.
They have a Wegmans there. Carbondale is cooler and has better riding.

Brutal headache is making me want to curl up and die. I'm pretty sure that I'm dehydrated, given that I just sucked down 1L of water without batting an eye. But yeah, off to more water and hopefully some sleep.

Bend <> humidity increase above front range CO.

And my wife likely has PTSD about ever going there again as the bout of COVID I caught there in 2022 almost killed me and possibly contributed to her health issue after she contracted it from me.

I have no idea where I am
I’ve lived all over North Carolina and spent most of my life here. I’d move to Brevard in a heartbeat if it were possible. Small town with a huge fucking forest to play in. Good food scene since it’s still close enough to Asheville to get some spill over. Even hotel coffee is decent.

I can't picture 6th and Mrs 6th looping East Coast rides multiple times to hit their usual miles/elevation targets unless it's in NC or New England mtns.
