Yup - you gotta roll your own in the summer.
Also a secret: there's enough riding up in the La Sals to entertain most for a few days. We only did TWE and Squaw Spring -> Hell Canyon, but there are other high country rides to entertain folks...
Our ride of TWE got us to the Burro parking lot around 9:00, so about "early shuttle" time. I won't lie, the last 3 miles were PFH - hangin' in the river drinking beers really hit the spot when we finished. Starting at 6:00 would probably be advisable...

We dropped the DSO at doggy daycare at 8 and were on an 830 shuttle. 10am shuttle didn't give us enough time to pickup the dog before they closed.
It was a perfect day for TWE riding yesterday.
Holy crap, I just looked up the record time for TWE. Nate Hills did it in 1:20. And I thought I was kinda truckin’ at under three hours. (But I stopped for lunch and pictures) I wonder if that included the slog to the top of Burro Pass. (My time certainly didn’t)

I doubt that time includes A. the climb from Geyser to Burro Pass or B. the entire descent. If you're looking at results from the Whole Enchilada Enduro, that race didn't go all the way to the river. I'd say that the Burro Down segment is a better gauge on how fast that trail can be done. TL;DR: under 3 hours is indeed kinda truckin'.
EDIT: the Burro Down to the River segment is also good, and not sure what the difference is. I think one goes down the Notch and the other the Snotch, but I'm not sure.

we actually have a local radio station here in Philly (WRTI - wrti.org) and IMO they are excellent. They cover many periods, and their DJ's are knowledgeable and routinely include information about the composer, piece, and era / history with what they play. they have a streaming version too. on weekends they will often broadcast live performances of the philly philharmonic orchestra.
Hannah is sick, so Wifey had to stay home with her this morning. I get her this afternoon after my morning meetings. Re-gen paddles and android auto on the Bolt already stopped working, so I get to deal with that later today.
Holy hell, I missed the Bolt purchase. This a brand new rig with issues?
I'm not shocked, but I figured little shit. If anything, I'll try to lever for swank like floor mats for causing real problems already.
Lemon Law or bust
Oh, don't you worry about that. I'll ride that to death.
Speaking of cars, my racing honda acura likely needs new inner CV joints at only 50k miles, four months after factory warranty expired. 
Dafuq? That's horseshit. Even Subarus go more than 50K miles... and they are RENOWNED for eating CV joints.Speaking of cars, my racinghondaacura likely needs new inner CV joints at only 50k miles, four months after factory warranty expired.
And oil. SOOOO much oil. I guess they *leak* more than they eat of that stuff, though.

Agreed, I am le disappoint. Seems to be a frequent Honda/Acura issue though.
Make sure you jump up and charge Maynard...... sure fire way to become a youtube star!!!!!!
P.s. I am a bit jealous
Us true metal heads....... should always be able to appreciate true classical.........
I tried Android Auto on the Sprinter for about five minutes and said fuck this...
No, it's white, well dingy white anyway, and has no buttons or a dial of any kind. You should consider yourself fortunate if it never darkens your doorstep.Pooping it now.
Is that the courtesy phone?
Last night on the trainer I was watching Municipal Waste videos, my wife came down to the basement to talk to me and was like "what is THAT?!"

If you have never heard Jinjer ...... start with Pisces
I had headphones on so she could only see the video. I think it was either the sadistic magician video or the one for slime and punishment
Yeah XO1 Eagle 12 spd. Actually took it to my bike shop (The Hub) for anyone who’s ever been to Brevard, NC and they replaced the jockey wheel assembly and hooked me up on the spot.
They put on a decent show
(municipal waste and napalm death are playing in Denver in a couple o' weeks)
The first time I saw them was I think 2001 or 2002 because they had done a split with Crucial Unit (local band where I grew up)
@stoney should take his oldest daughter
Also the tour with napalm death started on in my region, MW released a beer with a Philly brewery
