Yep, I totally get this. Some people spend a disproportionate amount of time trying to share trail knowledge with others. It is a thankless task.

Do gravel/dirt roads count? Sequoia National Forest, last week. Got in some riding on a camping trip. -cls

Speaking of hot, the long-range forecast for next week isn't. High of 87 on Tuesday (July 22) with a low of 71 followed by a few days of highs in the 90-ish range, with some rain (or not).

Agreed. BUT find her a place to try Zwift. Zwift has all of these things except scantily clad women shouting numbers at you that don’t mean jack if you don’t do it. Through the Apple TV, you can run pandora, Spotify in the background. My wife throws on her station based off the workout she is doing and then hits the workout hard. Zwift workouts occur in Erg Mode where no shifting is required. Resistance is controlled by the workout you have selected. There is a massive menu of workouts including a training plan section where it has you loaded up with your workout the moment you join. Instead of a video of a girl yelling at you, Zwift has finish lines in the road in the distance with the end of the interval. You can also see it at the top when you are in the middle of the set. This is a sample of the app where I can sign up and see what’s going on when I get home for “live events” and races. Lately I have been a glutton for the Alpe d’Zwift which is a replica climb of Alpe d’Huez. In fact, I just used that climb to set a 20 minute power PR to see where my FTP was at. One big difference, is that the smart trainer is loud and the peloton is not. Keep that in mind. But of course it’s very one dimensional. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mums the word. But honestly, if she don't know already she prolly wouldn't believe the co-workers anyway. Your cult/indoctrination skills should not be underestimated. Pace Bend trails, TMW, and the tremendous following for Aquarium and Goat related discussion all speak volumes for your effectiveness in swaying people toward action and views they may never have considered. 🥓🥓🥓 Your carefully crafted conjurings upon consciousness are both sublime and subliminal.

Thanks for the replies. What she really likes about the Peloton is that you can filter by workout type / trainer / musical genre / etc. and just go. I think this is a situation where I should get her want she actually wants or she won't be happy with it. I've done the Peloton once, and I have to admit that I enjoyed it. Some of the female trainers on there are very....motivational.

After multiple arm and shoulder surgeries I learned to become wipebidextrous

Darn when the doc said he was giving me Norco I was already planning to hit their website to browse the latest models.

This sounds like some sort of torture outlawed in most of the free world. Could only be worse if it was an attic in Beaumont or something. 15 minutes in that and I bet you'd sweat off 3 lbs.

I wish I’d thought about that! I did resort to the can in my pocket when I broke my ankle, but this looks better! have you upgraded your crutch tips? The stock ones are scary in wet surfaces. Just because you’re not riding doesn’t mean you can’t be upgrading stuff!

Simple solution. I called ATX Bikes and told them about this thread and this problem. They called their property manager. The property manager didn't know about it. They said they would contact the security company and tell them that anybody with a mountain bike is welcome to use the parking lot behind ATX "as a clubhouse" if they want to. They did remind us to respect the Austin Diagnostic Clinic's parking lot and not park there. I think we MTBers have been doing pretty good with that. Crank and Drank lives!

Same. I thought a jaguarundi was similar to a jackelope. About 20 years ago I stopped at an old gas station somewhere between Dallas and Austin that had one hanging from the wall. I went inside to pay and a lady was ahead of me. She was very interested. When she started asking questions, the guy behind the counter gave me the "shhh, don't say anything" look. When she asked if they hopped or ran, and the guy replied "a little of both" it was all I could do to hold it in.

I predict it will start trending and we'll see a 140 mm trail bike with that name within the year.
