I generally peace out with groups over 4, with no fault to anyone at any point in time at least one person has a flat, has a broken chain, needs to eat, needs to piss, needs to shit, has to answer a call, needs to rest, needs to add a layer of clothes, needs to remove a layer of clothes...

And that is the best case scenario if there isn't a significant skill/ability gap.

You've pretty much resumed why I almost never group ride.

I ride solo 95% of the time. It's fun to change it up and have a "party ride" - theres lots of waiting for the slow guys and chatting it up. One guy today refused to ride the exposed bits and walked probably a couple miles. I used to race with some of these guys and I can talk shit. They were letting me go out in front also and I like that.

Same thing applies with most things. At my old job I had a rule of Small Agile Groups. If you needed more than 4 people to get something done, it was never going to get done. So if you really needed input from more people that than one of the 4 would be delegated to go figure out that shit. Worked well.

At the current job we will have meetings with 30 people that never get anywhere.

In a van.... down by the river
As are we as we head south :p


Always Moore Fun.

Park at the trailhead near the Mack exit.
More Fun > Mary's > Wrangler North.
Another good big-ish loop is park at the east end of Moore Fun, then Mary's, Horsethief, Mary's, Lion's, Troy Built, Mack Ridge, Moore Fun.

And I just noticed that there's a "Lower Moore Fun" trail now?!? WTF??

I just have never been able to get into Moore Fun...
Who are you? :confused:

Everyone has their flaws.
I thought our Champion didn't have any... but if I'm honest, I'm glad he *does* have at least one. :p

Cost to replace washer tub bearing on 10yr old washer - $400
Cost to buy new washer - $800

I have to waste a washer that can be repaired, but a new one is more water and electricity efficient. Gonna sit on this.

Had a meeting cast through Google Meetings today - with city board. I was having issues with IE, so joined in via Chrome. My damn Stoney avatar pops up, since I was apparently logged into my Google in Chrome. Nobody said anything. But I'm sure that made for a fun conversation afterwards.
