My whole day just went to crap. We were supposed to get on a train to meet the wife and then drive to a confirmation party. Wife text me she is super sick with a really sore throat. So now I am stuck home in the rain with nothing to do and has to miss the celebration for one of my best friends sons. All trains all the way to the city where the party is held was sold out too. All this misery could have been avoided if I had not broken my damn collarbone. It was supposed to be the fall of Clauuuuussssss

People getting back to work and all the kids back in school with the coldest August in 16 years sure has made for a perfect opportunity for all the germs that has been suppressed during covid.

Here. Coffee. Study.

Another day another coffee. Making my own pizza sauce last night was a win, I'll be doing that again.

It’s just been raining and raining here, getting soaked on every ride. Sometimes i just ride to the brewery on a fat bike rather than go ride muddy slippery trails. That’s why I’m going south. Fire is warmer than rain.

Good morning. Yay! big bike day!
Otherwise a mellow weekend ahead.
I'll take it.

 

[Nick]

Has anyone heard an update on @slyfink ?

espresso just brewed on the stove top. I have very little motivation to leave the camper this morning. At 0530 it's 68* out going up to 100+, current AQI is 198 with thick smoke

Gonna wear a N95 mask all day

Helping the in-laws throw a yard sale. Amazing how you can put out so much shit (and a lot of it is just that) and still have a house packed with more shit.

Quality > Quantity

Hello all. BNT/Pfizer booster shot this afternoon. Maybe taking elder kid light mountain biking at Green Mountain later this morning.

 

[eric strt6]

Fucking smoke is thick. Visibility is about one mile

Cool Place. Used to go to West Mountain after we visited my Uncle and Cousin in Greenhaven. I can only imagine the riding is good there...

I fucking hate Comcast. Managed to scrub $50 off my bill and get "faster" internet, but it took me 1.5hrs to confirm what services I actually have before I could get to at least those minimum levels. I cannot wait until our corporate first county decides that we can do better... so never.

 

[stoney]

anybody heard from @kidwoo?

Kevin - what's your status? And sorry for dragging out out of PAWN.

 

[eric strt6]

South lake Tahoe is 15 miles from the Caldor fire. That area is now under an evacuation warning.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Wife's COVID test came back negative late yesterday evening, so today I'm being dragged out and about to do a bunch of stuff I'm not particularly interested in. Happy wife, happy life, or something.

 

[eric strt6]

The aqi is going to hell here. I switched from a cloth mask with a filter to full N95 about 30 minutes ago

Making my own pizza sauce

I’ve learned not to look up your urban dictionary terms, but the curiosity is almost overwhelming.

This was actual food.

 

[jonKranked]

Some much needed rain, so I got on the trainer.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Fishing in the high country today... guess I'd better get rolling.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Gonna try to sell rings to those who still want to get married, I suppose.

Apparently Tahoe is 700+. WTF.

Too late. You're already traffic.

 

[eric strt6]

Oh fuck this

 

[jstuhlman]

DH, yo.

Dogsitting a weimaraner. Holy shit this dog won't stop running around the house!

Take him running with you. That'll teach him.

I did that with a Shepard once. 14 miles was when it quit. I had to carry it the last 2 miles home.

I am not sure how far this dog has gone, but I do have to run 20 tomorrow.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Well this sucks, no one has come in today. Saturdays without traffic is not good. Not sure if it's the heat or the fact that NC has had 8000+ new cases of Covid for the past two days.

My V's can run behind a bike for more than 20 miles without breaking a sweat.

Thanks for checking. Just got out of surgery. They fused my D10-11-12. Sounds like everything went well. On the long road to recovery now. I definitely channeled the healing vibes that were sent from around the world. Thank you all. You are all wonderful people!

26.2 miles on the trail bikes. But we had to do a couple of miles on dirt roads to avoid an XC race climbing a trail we needed. So we missed out on a good single track descent

Time to go stand in a creek.

Dammit. We said keep a stiff upper lip, not a stiff upper back...

Glad the surgery went well.

At least it isn’t the very bottom or top, you should be good to ride when it heals.

Dude. Great to hear the surgery went well.
Stay positive, you'll be ok.

But really, not much to say. Broke my back at MSA.

thanks @Changleen , but even with that, I'm not sure my wife will let me ride dh anymore. One things for sure, I will not be riding machine built flow trails anymore.
