Local farm on the way home from the NJ office yesterday had their sweet corn sign up. It's the best in the area, so I had to stop. Chores today, grilling corn (and maybe wings?) tonight, downhill tomorrow.

That pileated woodpecker keeps turning up in our yard. He's gotta be nesting nearby.

I sat out on the deck after dinner, hummingbirds have returned! I'm going to hang a feeder and see if they stay.

Elk sausage and eggs cooking up, then get out before the heat wave.

Cheers, everybody.

Snuck the family across the border for our first family hike in Quebec since early April. It was nice. Muggy. Got caught in a thunder shower, but it was nice and refreshing.

Going to do groceries this afternoon.

Hope to ride tomorrow.

Cheers?

No crack there. That's probably a shriveled up dead caterpillar. :mad:

90° heat isn't good for much... but it will soften even the stiffest dh casing tire enough to get cush core installed.

Michelin dh34 on mavic 823s. Woof.

What's the best go pro mount config for dh riding... Handlebar, helmet or chest? No I don't have a gimble, that's what I have.
Chest with Hypersmooth.



It is currently 94 Freedoms in my Denver zip code. Instead I'm up in the mountains with 63F weather and oddly quite a bit of rain for the last 20 minutes or so.

I have a chest mount. Might be easiest to get going for tomorrow. And yes my hero 8 has hypersmooth.

Nice. If it has it, enable horizon leveling even if you trade off a bit of FOV.

I like chest footage but it’s hard to keep it stable and the sound always sucks. I’ve started to see people with mouthpiece mounts on their full faces and it looks awesome. The smoothness of your heads natural stabilization but without being way up high. Not sure where to get one or how to make it happen.

Rode ten miles in Leominster on the same trails I had before. Lots of fun until I ran into a family of three black bears. I’m not racist but I turned the fuck around and went the other way. Had to go up the shitty trail but sadly I lived to tell about it.
