    Anyone use home or work 3D printers for bike parts or other items? (I was thinking custom head unit mounts) Just dove down this rabbit hole and wanted to see if anyone had experience. To me looking into these, PLA, SLA, SLS type printers, it gets expensive as things like material durability...

    Rides Within a Half-Day Drive

    That brings up a great question: of all the places that are "wake up and ride there at noon" which have you done or liked?

    Brendan T Byrne State Forest

    I know they got a few inches of snow, but this place may be more weather resistant than even Wharton. It drains faster than it rains with all the sand. Anyone know current conditions or think it may be good to ride there tomorrow, 1/6?
