Just gonna have to take my word that I also rode today. Saturday’s poker run, lots of puddles of mud.

Ice cream withdrawal won’t kill you, as far as I know. Why take a chance though. My pop-pop died from liver failure. Drank beer every day, all day, while working with machinery and sharp woodworking tools. Never slurred or stumbled, his tolerance must have been off the charts. Found out after...

I’ve had this happen a lot with my watch and iPhone, restarting both usually corrects it. Some of my problems are probably me letting the phone memory get too full. It’s been much better since I cleared out some stuff. The hydration tracker is what gets stuck/ goes goofy on mine all the time...

Got the whole family to watch Rad (Riff Trax version) on my birthday 🎂 last week. It was a good time! International Rad Day, a late observation but i had a captive audience.

Read that it’s going through the golf course to BRP and then to the REI trails and then back through the golf course. The REI trails aren’t difficult at all but they do have some swoops here and there. “This year's bike course is new and will be approximately 8 miles. Bikers will go left out of...

Saw yours too but missed you on the trail, did a quick orange loop.

Yesterday, before the rain.

Going Oops, I mean First!

That’s what I was thinking, it being held/ reinforced by the clamp but you hear horror stories of carbon failure.

Yeah, i torque everything especially carbon. I didn’t assemble this though. On a closer look it appears it’s a mark from the stem. There’s a rough edge on the inside where it mates to the fork steerer, I can flake the raised aluminum off with my fingernail. It matches up perfectly with the...

Should I be concerned about this scratch on a carbon fiber steerer tube? Brand new bike, looks like it happened during assembly. Was in the process of putting a shorter stem on it but I’m not sure now if this is OK.

Inspected the bottom bracket on Betty (the Bucksaw), it had started creaking and I found a bad bearing. Also didn’t find a bearing sleeve in between the bearings nor a tight cinch bolt. Hard to believe it wasn’t creaking before now. Had to order a new one myself. Tried supporting a not very...

Beautiful day for a ride
