you have no idea ....
I on the other hand got a solid 8 hours of sleep for the first time in weeks. Coffee, chiropractor, now at a diner for breakfast with the family.
Was contemplating Searle, but likely to be a lot closer to home after a week of work travel and the fact I'm still sitting here...
Rode 13 miles in NE chunk this morning. Not exactly chilly - upper 60s, and the riding conditions were mint. 10/10, I would bang again.
Any MA monkeys going to Nightshift's Oktoberfest today?

Of the 45 joists of my deck (at 12" spacing) 12 are rotted. End caps making up 2/3 of the length need to be pulled and replaced, but this time split into thirds instead of a pair to provide proper spacing for the railings. Almost all of the nails I pounded in earlier this summer have backed out substantially since, so connector screws are going in as replacements as I move along. This is going to make for a shit-ton of fun.
Hey @Nick you feeling bored? I've got beer and pizza!

Kill me nao. Working. Had to train a newby at 7am. Then I was supposed to meet with a vendor at 8 for vehicle inspections. They overslept. It's now 9 am and they are still over an hour out
Got my CX bike all 'Grinder-like' to be a trendy SOB while my main Mt. bike is down.
Should be fun, 700 x 38 tires, new v-brakes. Gonna do a mixed medium ride tonight, probably will hear a bunch of Elk bugling, which is one of the world's great sounds.

i forgot to drive through yellowstone thursday.
spent last night in fire lookout.
thank the lord for the clean shitter at st marys visitor center.
pissing rain.
Got up early, walked up to Leicester Hollow with a friend, and removed eight or so windfalls that were across the trail. Now defrosting refrigerator in the R-Pod.
Just out of curiosity, how do you pronounce that ? When I lived in Asheville, the neighboring community with the same name was pronounced "Lester".
Power's still out. Going on 20 hours. They're saying it may be a couple days since a major transformer station was destroyed.
I live downtown in a city of 1 million. Multi-day outages aren't supposed to happen here ffs.

We raised close to a grand serving beers for the trails at the Yakima Outdoor Film Festival last night. Was good times.
Finished ride #2, 8 miles on demo bikes with a next door pal who is shopping. We were switching out two SC 29ers - a Tallboy and a Hightower. I didn't care about the Tallboy, it felt like every goddamned 29er I've tried before, but the Hightower was a fun ride. He is likely going to buy it.
Hightower is a decent choice. I bought one back in December and love it. Took some getting used to with the bigger wheels and longer wheelbase then my 26” Knolly Endorphin. It is a fun ride on the steeps and really don’t notice a huge difference in cornering and tech than a smaller wheeed bike. Just took a little getting used to. He’ll love it
Funny thing is, he is upgrading from the 1st Gen Knolly Endorphin. He loved the Hightower.
y u not bronsan?
nice ride on my fav local trail. still hot tho. took a few laps on the new velosolutions pumptrack afterwards. even tired and on my nomad not a single pedal. that thing kicks ass.
Damn yeah I heard about you guys getting pounded on the news today.
Hopefully you have flashlights.
So, my "Gravel Curious" ride was a bit of a failure. The route selection was a washed out, golf ball size gravel infested, 20% grade mess. It was actually 1/2 the speed coming down (or significantly less) than going up (in 30/34 gearing). I guess the fact that I don't like
A) washbords
B) dust
C) hardtails
May not make the activity a perfect fit for me (around here).
Was fun to ride my 20 yo CX bike again, though.

Nailed it cooking super thick ribeyes for me and the parents (3 year old took a few bites, too, but was more interested in watermelon). Then I played ok at my concert. Success.
Just found out I’m cleared to go riding tomorrow, too, as the kids will be away at a party at the neighbors. Any locals game for Mountain Lion, at the trailhead around 10:30?
