I use a hair dryer to assist with cold weather drip wax. I'll spend a couple minutes preheating the chain and then a few more after the wax is on.

He probably went home after and cleaned and polished his Glock... or flaregun... or whatever they carry

Can park rangers actually write people tickets? Allaire is a place you need to be careful out of the summer season. A very crowded state park and the Park Police get bored in the off months.

That law specifically says "public Highway" so maybe there a technicality to get out of it since we would be on trails or parking lots.

anyone know how much the e-bike insurance will cost? If you have a teenager in the house does the cost go up?? Should I get collision??? Theft????

Until recently I would have agreed with you. However, this fall the Park Police gave me a ticket at Round Valley for Windsurfing without a USCG approved lifevest. Keep in mind I was wearing a lifevest designed for windsurfing and also a helmet and full body wet-suit. On top of that the ticket...

I rode today. Upper mountain is in great shape. The lower mountain is sloppy, but if you climb the C trail you can stay pretty clean.

your list basically sums up my life... except I never really got that fat. But the sports I do now are what I did in my teens and there is that gap from age 20-30.

Killington likes to hype up their 100 Day Club. But in reality, if you made the 100 Day Club you're also in the Skied 70 Shitty Days Club. You get a T-Shirt though...

I would also add that hot weather riding is WAY more enjoyable on an emtb. The extra breeze you get climbing at 10mph instead of 4 makes a big difference. I also don't go to downhill parks quite as much now because I get some of that speed stoke from the ebike.

Readington isn't a great IPA place but their European style beers are all pretty good if you like those styles.

Tree down on Tree Amigos. It's at the top of the climb coming from Roaring Rocks. Could probably be done with a hand saw. Trails are very dry considering the rain we just had.

as of yesterday it is still there.

I'm sure the summer-like weather didn't hurt either.

They just opened one in Woodstock. https://www.ranchcampwoodstock.com/ I agree, the foliage was pretty dull this year.
