It's 15C here and we're supposed to ride polar bears to work according to stereotypes.Snowstake is literally buried. FTS, I’mma go ski.
Morning.... just when I thought this heap of a hotel couldn't get any worse...... it totally redeemed itself with breakfast.... fresh biscuits and gravy, omelettes, and fresh fruit..... even the coffee is good
Fun, but balls cold ride last night. Poached some xc ski trail and rode a bunch of singletrack. As far as fat biking goes, it was pretty great. At the top of one of the groomed ski hills, I somehow drifted over into the set ski track. That shit was rock solid and felt like I was riding a slot car track. Ended up doing a death wobble to get out, but somehow didn't eat it.
Maybe this is the last of the snow? We're kind of hoping for one more ski trail poaching session next Wednesday, on hopefully a little more solid groomed trail.
Yeah we lack elevation, but have some fun hills...

Don't worry - it came in really warm. And wet. You probably wouldn't like it.
Whew thanks.Don't worry - it came in really warm. And wet. You probably wouldn't like it.
I read that it rained yesterday in summit.
I'm guessing we're due for a dust storm from the SW any week now.
That sounds awesome!
Rode yesterday, somehow flattened the rear tire. Stans either dried up or ran out but there did seem to be a small tear in the tire, that tried to seal but could not due to lack of sealant. Will add more and try to inflate it when I'm home for the day. I'm due for new tires soon anyway.
Nice and cool 57Freedums this morning, actually felt nice. We are back into the 80's during midday now.

Tonight is my ride night. Conditions are pretty much as good as they get (hardpacked, no ice), and we're going to ride my favourite trail. It climbs up a ridge and has two loops down. If I'm not too tired (or too cold), I will push to do the descent 3x... fingers crossed.Fun, but balls cold ride last night. Poached some xc ski trail and rode a bunch of singletrack.

Do it!
Recent introspection has revealed to me that at the age of 32, I cannot claim mastery or even real proficiency in any single thing.
I have also come to the conclusion that the more I know, the more I realize how much I don’t know.
Not sure whether to be humbled or depressed by these revelations.

You are acquiring wisdom. It's just about right on time. Be humbled.Recent introspection has revealed to me that at the age of 32, I cannot claim mastery or even real proficiency in any single thing.

And take solace - at (almost) 48, I have never mastered anything, ever. Except maybe yelling at kids. I'm really good at that.
as Ss said, right on schedule.Recent introspection has revealed to me that at the age of 32, I cannot claim mastery or even real proficiency in any single thing.

don't strive to master, strive to always improve. being proficient is an always changing definition. just keep trying to get better.
start finding ways to give; to family, community, etc. donate time to help someone / something. that may ease the crushing weight of life

i've only got a few years on you, but i've had the same existential crisis. then i remembered there's people out there that think vaccines cause autism, the world is flat, and chemtrails are turning the frogs frikkin' gay. That contented me in my mediocrity.
congratulations, this makes you smarter than a LOT of people. Welcome to the top half of the bell curve.
humbled and content. have a beer, pet a doggo, go for a ride. enjoy yourself. cause nobody gets out alive.Not sure whether to be humbled or depressed by these revelations.
I'm getting really good at drinking, much better than when we met.
same here, but that leaves time to hatch a plan for tomorrow.
Duolingo is eating up lots of my time. My spanish is getting better so i figure its a good waste of time.
Dropped the girls off at school this week. Prolly the most adult I've felt in 41 years.
wishing i had bindings on my pow skis. damn, my breath tastes like chemdawg #4 & coffee.

Mastery equals boredom. Do anything for a quarter century or longer and you will get tired of it, no matter how good you are.Recent introspection has revealed to me that at the age of 32, I cannot claim mastery or even real proficiency in any single thing.

Haven't a lot of you been mountain biking for that long? I know most of you aren't masters at it, but still relevant to your second sentence.
It's nice though it is a real reminder global warming creates some weird weather. February used to be -30C not +15C. Plus the winter darkness is imho more annoying than cold weather. Cold weather you can get used to
I beg to disagree...I love riding my bike more than ever. But no, there is no ‘mastery’...yet!
My experiences with skiing and mt biking both contradict your claim. Of course, I've mastered neither, so maybe that's the reason?
We're always looking to outsource in my household.
Being a non-breeder, sounds like I am missing a true purpose in life.
Perhaps they'll respond better to angry czech than the mundane expletives I've been hurling at them for 16 years.
Come over, get loaded and audition.
