Post ride pizza from the new place that opened off the bike path. Nice way to end the ride eating a slice outside on a perfect weather day.

I use craigslist. I think the average age of the users are much higher and tend to be more likely to not be a PITA. Definitely less people than Facebook though. Plus it's a million times easier to use, Facebook has the worst interface.

2025 I was told it will be cool and dry.

Self transport. We had some borrowed Acura SUV that had one of those 3rd rows that is basically for grandkid child seats. I sat back there for the 20 minute drive to Asheville in the fetal position thinking there's no way I'd be able to run if I road back there the whole day. It then dawned...

Foreshadowing? Turns out this race killed me. I'm still struggling with stairs. Out of the house at 5am. At 7am we were in Asheville for the start of our team's race. Was mid-40s and very windy. I was shivering waiting the 5-10 minutes for our first racer to go out with the mass start...

My current cable company doesn't charge for the modem. I completely thought there was some scam going on with them saying it was free but it turns out there really is no monthly fee. Very surprised. With Cablevision/Optimum buying my own paid for itself pretty quickly.

100% rent an ebike for Bootleg. It's basically a downhill park. Pay for the insurance.

I would say people care. Most people flying into Moab don't want a short travel junk bike. People generally want a nicer bike than what they normally ride. There's dozens of you significant majority. Dozens! Seriously though, do you see a lot of riders out in the winter compared to the...

It's because you're in Summit. How many people are renting a bike to go ride Watchung? I don't think these are issues in Moab/Sedona/Etc where it's a similar type of bike being rented and the riding season is all year. I can't imagine anyone renting a bike outside of wanting to demo before...

If you only have Optimum, have you tried T-Mobile home internet? I tested it out at my house, worked relatively well for a month or two.

Is there a slower speed you can get? Get that. My slowest speed they offer just got bumped up $60 a month. Never have speed issues/concerns. Drop all boxes, all cable. Pick an Amazon/Netflix/Disney/HBO and stick with it, or rotate through them when there's something you want to binge...

Who do you think rocketed up the price?

Any biking destination has bike shops renting bikes. Non-biking destinations also have a few here-and-there bike shops renting demo bikes. Bike rentals on a daily basis aren't low, $50+. So it doesn't make sense for someone to do a long-term rental as the cost of the bike will be eclipsed...

You clearly don't know TheGock. No way he'd buy into DJT at the top. He's probably going all in now at the dip, amirite @thegock ?

It's funny how we had to plug our Garmin into a computer via USB after each ride. Now we're so used to Bluetooth/WiFi syncing. I have a PIxel and Forerunner. It works 95% of the time when I have cell phone service. The 5% it doesn't confuses the heck out of me as there's no rhyme or reason...
