It's Tuesday, I have coffee, nothing new to report. I'm starting too many of these lately though. Get off your bums you lazy bastards.
May want to have that independantly confirmed.well I'm not dead yet....
I've been.Anyone ever been to South Bend Indiana? The airline just announced a new hangar will be opening up there, promotional opportunities abound. Rumor is also floating around about a new facility in Austin.
That seems like enough info.Never been to Austin, but I know I'd go there vs South Bend.
South Bend, IN? Yeah... I went to college in Kalamzoo, MI. So yeah, I've been to South Bend.
As Nick noted, chilly this morning. Ride in on the scooter was "refreshing", hoping it stays cool, would like to do a run this evening.

This would be compared to the EXTREMELY $HITTY riding in the Midwest in general.I've been.
Small, high unemployment and not so great crime. There used to be a ton of manufacturing jobs in that area, those left some time ago. It would a massive change from the Springs.
Upside is low cost of living, surprisingly good trail riding in southern MI and proximity to the Lake.
Nick covered it pretty well. Although I would add that even after living in Colorado and riding bikes all over the place, I would likely still consider the trails in southern Michigan as well as southern Indiana to be "fun". That said...... you might check with Full Trucker. He *lived* in IN before he escaped many moons ago.
This.Never been to Austin, but I know I'd go there vs South Bend.
But that is *only* because, well, all trails are fun. And riding bikes is fun. And what the eff - if you find yourself in IN/MI you should ride the trails. Because... well... because ride.<snip>

Homemaking school?South Bend, IN? Yeah... I went to college in Kalamzoo, MI.
Que? Which trail (if public information)?Still monsooning. Apparently the entirety of one of our go-to local rides has been washed away.
What Nick said: Apex. Closed due to water damage, entire sections washed away. Also portions of Mathews/Winters are closed because they're under water. And it's Still.Fvcking.Raining.Que? Which trail (if public information)?
https://www.facebook.com/jeffcoopenspace said:This afternoon's rain brought significant damage/washouts to several areas of our parks. We are verifying reports that Apex Trail has washed out completely in certain areas. Right now water is flowing heavily down the trail. Apex Trail is closed until further notice.
https://www.facebook.com/jeffcoopenspace said:The storm has also closed access to Matthews/Winters Park picnic area, which is about 2 feet underwater in spots and there is no access across the creek at this time to the Village Walk and Village Ride Trail. Lair o' the Bear has damage similar to what we saw from the last downpour, so Bear Creek Trail is currently closed from the lot to Cold Springs because of rushing water and debris. We will update everyone on closures/openings as soon as we can make better assessments.
No - but they had a nursing school as well as teaching program...Homemaking school?
Remember when people were recently complaining about sanitation of Apex, MW, Chimney, etc.?What Nick said: Apex. Closed due to water damage, entire sections washed away. Also portions of Mathews/Winters are closed because they're under water. And it's Still.Fvcking.Raining.
Will people still be able to shuttle it?Apex is rumored to be destroyed.

Let me just put on my galoshes and hike up there in the pouring, freezing, miserable rain and get you some trail beta, cupcake.Holy crap. I'm assuming then that Enchanted Forest is also wasted? What about others?
You have your finger on the pulse of Golden riding. You are expected to know these things, cupcake.Let me just put on my galoshes and hike up there in the pouring, freezing, miserable rain and get you some trail beta, cupcake.
I've had a bad shoulder for quite a few years now (maybe 10 or 12) due to a torn rotator cuff, and I've also got an AC separation from a crash about 3 years ago.
Anyhoo, about 6 or 7 weeks ago, I was setting out a pack 'n play (play pen thingy for babies) from 1982 and kinda threw my shoulder out of joint. Subluxed apparently. I was really bugging me for the last 5 weeks (or more, actually).
I went to see a physio as soon as I could, and was given the standard rotator cuff exercises for rehab. They weren't really doing anything, and my shoulder would feel like it was out of joint and impiging.
I saw a different physio and she took a different approach and did much more checking of range of motion, checking where I was weak. Turns out I needed to strengthen the lower traps and stretch upper pectorals and little fiddly muscles in my armpit/back/chest. She did this manually.
Next appointment (this am) I had improved, but one part of my range of motion was still tender and felt like it would sublux. She looked at my shoulder blades and determined that I had been compensating so much, for so long, that the muscles around it were so tight that the shoulder blade was rotating out of position.
In order to help release the muscles holding my shoulder together, she jabbed a few needles in to the muscles behind my armpit and had me try the motion again. Much better.
She progressively jabbed the different muscles around the shoulder and checked the motion after each poke.
By then end of it, I could comfortably move through the entire range of motion without any "hanging-up" at all. It was nuts.
Of course, I'm still weak in some key areas, but now I've got some exercises to get the firing sequence of my muscles back in order, and hopefully get my shoulder feeling normal again.
Pretty cool.
