When you feel bad because you made a stupid math error in a calculation circulated internally… but someone did a copy/paste of your work and sent it externally to someone else who got mad about about the numbers, then you get to be the hero by pointing out the error and correcting your own mistake.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
he's coming here at some point, i believe...c'mon out!
I need to get back there!
So far, I’m seeing him twice in MX, (probably) four times in CO, once in Montana, and probably once in Utah.
That’s probably one too many already…

But nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can hit me in the feels like they do, both lyrically, musically, melodically, rhythmically.
And holy fuck, what monsters on the geet-tars.
It is NOT ‘country’. Or even ‘Cuntry’.
(Yes, that’s a thing)

So they sent my blood pressure cuff back with a note saying it passed all their tests, so it's totally fine. I put it on and got 150/92 and my doctor said I never tested above 122 in the office. So maybe it passes your tests, but it's still giving me bogus readings. :rofl:

Fuck these people.

And home, that was balls.

Second time that highway has been closed this week. Hopefully whoever went through the guardrail is ok.

There is almost another foot of snow that fell in that area today.

And just north of there, they got just under 5 feet of snow in places on the weekend. Elbows deep into winter now, I guess.

I did take the new 5010 out for a ride and had a great time. I wasn't really able to shake things out that well as it was misting, mostly frozen, and dark. At the end of my ride my helmet had a thin ice crust.

The bike seems awesome though! The flip chip was in the low setting. I had a handful of pedal strikes, probably because I couldn't see anything though. Next I'll swap the flip chip and see how that goes.

i'd recommend borrowing a set if possible. try both 170 and 165. i run 175s everywhere except my DH bike which is 170. i just didn't get along with 165s. ymmv
@boostindoubles i should also add here that i'm like 6'1". The bike I ran 165 cranks on was an old custom DH frame of mine that had a BB that would be hella low even by today's standards - it was something like 12 5/8"

I'm 6'4" and like a slower cadence. I grew up riding single speed and thats all about leverage. My riding style sort of developed around a slow cadence hammer fest.

I've considered it before! I'll keep an eye out for a set of 170s.

6'-1", and not a downshifter. Like to hammer climbs too. It felt weird/off for a couple of rides. When I ride often, my torn meniscus gets inflamed. Hasn't happened this year on the 165, although I didn't ride as much.
