Rain in the desert... 
At least it's cold.

I have time to shuttle whore. Are you still near town?
A while back out of curiosity, I compared the geo of that bike to my dh bike (2010 xprezo furax). A lot of the dims were either identical or within 5mm or a degree. The big differences were stack height (supreme is taller) and reach/wheelbase were about 4" longer. A good portion of that is due to increased wheel size (and corresponding necessary clearance).
I boogied on back to the eastern plains. Want to grab lunch tomorrow, though? I don’t have to be at work until the afternoon.
Disclosure: I had my COVID brain swab this morning due to an exposure alert a week old but am asymptomatic and boosted.
Attached to that vehicle it is kinda motorized. Same when it hangs off a lift. So DH bikes are motorcycles with outsourced motors is what I am trying to say.
tomorrow is no good, but let's give it a few days anyway all things considered. I too am vaxx'd and boost'd, but you know...
I'll have a bunch of time in Jan to ski/ride/lunch.
6g upgrade is fucking kicking my ass. Couldn't sleep because I was shivering last night for an hour. Spent all day in bed, fitbit thinks I've got 13 hours of sleep.
Wednesday’s desert rainRain in the desert...

Is Friday’s powder day
No reason to complain
Unless you’ve lost your way
I bought a Davis weather station and was looking at buying their pretty shitful cloud setup.
I downloaded the app first to see if it was tolerable and I can see all the local people's stations so I don't need to buy anything, hahaha!
My state banned people like me from having fireworks close to 30 years ago, it sucks!

I wish they would do that here too.
We are green this, environmental friendly that, but on New Year's Eve we think that fine particle pollution that is 40x above the limit is fine. In Germany 2% of all fine particles emitted in a year come from the New Year's Eve fireworks. That is way more than all the cheater VW diesel cars emitted.
Not talking about all the toxic metals and chemicals released and the disturbances to wildlife.
FTS, ban it already!
The spambots are posting like crazy today.
I don't think that was any of the reason, it was closer to this, plus fires-I wish they would do that here too.

"To date, the greatest health concern regarding fireworks has been the potential for injury to life and limb due to the explosive force of fireworks. Each year, approximately 10,000 to 25,000 people (predominantly male teenagers) in the U.S. suffer physical and burn injuries, due to fireworks, which include the loss of fingers, limbs, eyesight, and sometimes, life "
Friday snow might end Chimney/Apex DH runs for a few months+.
I said he needed to squeeze in a gut shakedown tomorrow as an even day.
Heading home from our ride today the roads had slick spots with blown snow or shady areas. Doing 30 in a 50 and a strong wind gust gave us a four wheel drift going around a bend. Wife and I both puckered slightly until we caught traction again (snow tyres mounted on the car).
Sweet! I just grabbed a used 20/21 Supreme DH 29er in August. So far the handful of times I've ridden it, I'm digging on it!
Yesterday we had some serious blowing snow that at times left us with about 10ft of visibility. Driving into that with semi trucks in the immediate vicinity is damn freaky.
My Weather Underground app says it's an IBM business. It seems to offer the best detailed hourly forecast for my area and doesn't have full page adds like some others. It's too bad there is no government weather app here, I'd assume they know the best...
One thing I don't get with pretty much all the apps or weather sites, is that it's super hard to find what the precipitation and weather was like for the previous day(s). That can be super helpful deciding what to do, where to go etc. But it's impossible to find, ugh.
Yes the ice is hiding under the overpasses and also waiting for after the sun goes down to more broadly populate the roadway.
My state legalized them for use in state a few years ago. I wish they would ban them again, all the assholes don't know when to stop
The only time I have seen a quarter stick detonate was when I lived up your way in the 80s. Makes an actual M80 seem like a snap pop.
You should have seen what we did at platty in the mid/late 00s
Yeah I too would like historical data. For a good chunk of the year I can have clear blue skies for days to find that nearby trails were getting dumped on.
Windy.com is still my favorite weather app. You can select from a large variety of conditions to display on the map and compare 5 different forecast models for any given location.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, its still a secret. I sold my Armageddon this last summer. It felt too small after riding my Evil Offering for a year in a half. I took it to N* and even after 4 runs I felt like I was fighting it. The numbers between the Supreme & Offering are fairly close and it just feels right. Just picked up some carbon Renthal bars and stem. I plan to install those this weekend. I think you'll enjoy the Supreme!
Picked up a pair of backcountry XC skis. Now to find a place I can actually drive to and still avoid people.
Growing up on the Rez allowed ridiculous access to fireworks back in the day. Before 9/11 it was even more ridiculous. Sacks of m80s for twenty bucks. Tennis ball bombs, m1000's, Roman candles that shot m80s. We used to take cases of beer to the firework stands and trade it for 100's of retail dollars of fireworks. I'm lucky to still have 10 fingers.
I rented one two (?) seasons ago for a day up at Winter Park and was amused by the experience. Plus it was available to preorder, which in this day and age isn't a given.
Time to finally give my Leatt and giant carbon helmet a workout this upcoming summer.
and we'll have our matching bikes!
can we coordinate riding gear color scheme as well
Checks boxes but I don't think my winter tires are sufficient to get there.
Pics or stfu.
