Going Long and Hard.

Any long term weather projections yet?

Been snowing pretty consistant. And it's cold. Should be fun. I have more clothes this year.

So, I've kept it on the DL but a friend is filming a short documentary on me. We've been filming the past few weeks during my training rides. It's been a fun process. I just hope my story is exciting enough to sit through...

I hope you talk about cross.

I hope you talk about cross.

Jim was probably racing cross this year to get some good stories for the documentary.

Cross and Szwift are the only bicycle racing anyone is into these days. But at least the trails are empty for the rest of us

Here's a shot of layer inventory. Basically exactly the same as previous ultras with the addition of a Specialized Fleece Hoody as an additional base layer and/or outer layer for daytime.

Bottom is the same as I've never had any issues staying warm from the waist down.

And various extremity gear. Also unchanged.

Hey, have you ever stripped your bike to pack it and realize you hubshell is cracked? Well, I did today.

Luckily, I know a shop that stocks Industry Nine hubs and they have a really good wheelbuilder there. Crisis averted.

Clean. Drivetrain swap. Rear wheel rebuild. Gear packed. Box is on a FedEx truck heading to Montana.

Current situation...

Sorry I haven't been posting more prep stuff here. The new format has my thread start at the beginning every time I log on and I have to skip through 400 pages.

Should be my last ride before Fat Pursuit. Looking ahead at the forecast doesn't look great, super warm in Island Park right now.

Anyways. Shots from today.

Who'd of thought the weather back home in Jersey would've been better.

 

[Steve Vai]

Only thing worse than it being -50 is it being 34. Hike a bike, all day, all night, all day, all night again.

Looks like this is a problem on the mobile browser where you can’t click to the last page with one click.

I will add a last page link, but th workaround in the meantime is to click in the page x of y text then type in the last page number.

no need to be at the last page to post - just scroll to the bottom of the first page.

@soundz - is there anyway to have a soft link (name?) the last post of a user?
something like http://www.mtbnj.com/forum/threads/jims-training-thread.11666/#last
this could then become a bookmark.

clicking on the date in the forum view doesn't work anymore.

Checked some of the xenforo help sites, didn't see anything.

The loophole I've found is to just reply when I get a notification. Like now.

PS-What are the odds of my flight leaving tomorrow? Over/Under? All goes to plan or I end up taking a vacation in Yellowstone a day late?

 

[Juggernaut]

It’ll all come down to when the wind starts.... hopefully not till you’re well west of this mess.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Mountain Bike Mike]

May your dot keep progressing... i’ll check on it from time to time. Before I go to bed, then when I wake up rinse repeat..

 

[pooriggy]

Leave now.
