Trail update: With some extra help yesterday the BCRT is now cleared from the YMCA to Olson Meadows, that's 5 miles in two days. Unfortunately, the 30+ miles of MTB trail are going to be much harder to clear. Please keep a look out for volunteer days coming soon.

We had an eventful glamping trip and didn’t even have to go anywhere. We’re happy to finally have water again.

Yeah, it tastes better after the second glass 🙂 The green aspect had me hooked as well. As long as I can't really tell the difference for the most part, go for the packaging that is easier to deal with, both for me and society.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experience. i am now 8 days post symptoms. will wait two more days before trying to ride. i was outside most of the afternoon cutting limbs. my heartrate seems to shoot up easily; a fluttery feeling. not something i'm used to. Still kind of tired, want too sleep more than typical. i am going to ease back into riding. i'm not in a rush, and don't want to risk stressing my systems too much. this is definitely an atypical recovery for me. after a cold, i'm usually out running or biking the next day trying to shake it.

Sorry for the tease, my daughter and I built what we could today after dealing with yard pickup from the storm. I feel a little regret after seeing some of these quality builds. My choice to not touch the fork/wheels is going to bug me. 😂 To do: shifter cable, chain, ergo adjust, grips and bar trimming.

My schedule makes it hard to attend work days. Is vigilante trail clearing welcome?

it looks awesome and really if it gets her psyched up to ride that's all that matters!

I don't think so. Although your location may not be impacted by adverse weather, the movement of packages in the network may be impacted by weather conditions in other areas.

Thanks for the offer to help. Since the damage is big we'd prefer to have organized crews with multiple people. These bent over snapped trees can be very dangerous, they have a tendency to snap back or fall in an unexpected direction. It's much safer to have other people there helping.

Yeah, that is the problem, the "hangover" can last weeks, or months. We don't have enough data on this but the theory is that we could even add "years" to that statement. This is why I am so paranoid and wear a bandana when I ride or even walk the dog, even though I am alone and never near anyone else. Small price to pay to ensure that I can ride well into the future. I am selfish that way, it is all about me and ensuring that I can keep riding in the future. We have 2 different friends that got it and had to learn how to walk again. Let that one sink in for a moment. How will your riding be impacted if you can't even walk? Glad you are on the mend and I hope that you get through this thing unscathed in the long run. I'd like to offer advice but I'm not a doctor nor an expert, so stay in touch with those folks.

In my head, these ramps are awesome and I want them.. In reality, my 62 year old bones say HELL NO.

^this. This is all that really matters. You could get her a blinged out Trailcraft, but if it doesn’t increase the stoke then what’s the point? The teal/ purple/ oil slick ano combo makes for a pretty sick looking bike IMHO. [emoji1591] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should never take my wine advice as good, only affordable. I rely on the kindness of strangers when it comes to picking wine.

Looks pretty awesome to me!

Antibody tests.

I had the covid in early Sep. Diagnosed/tested pos on Labor Day (Mon). Minor symptoms, low temp and mild cold-like), for a few days. Went for short ride that Sat in mid-/upper-90s and my temp got over 100, then normal that evening. Soooo Sun I went to LGT as I was freaking about losing fitness as we approached EB. LGT was a hot mess and my fever came on with a vengeance (~103) and persisted for several days. I wore a mask that ride. By Sat temp was gone. Back physically at work (had worked at home mostly throughout) the next Mon, 2 weeks from onset. Waited another week before any exercise and then lightly after that. Built back slowly. Never felt any lingering symptoms or lung issues, but seemed drained of fitness after a few weeks off. Probably took another 1 - 1-1/2 mos to feel sorta fit again.

I had a really good time meeting everyone today. Amazing how much we got done. Basically cleared out from Skate Park to 183A and the portion to YMCA will be done later today. Great job. We really made a difference today.

79 hours without power and 30 hours (and counting) without water didn't stop me from getting in at least 1 good Walnut snow ride. This was the only time I was ever nervous about the Mark's Art log over! Riding in Walnut Wonderland. Breaking trail on .6. The good news is that all the deadfall from the first ice event and the first snow event (so until Wednesday morning) was cleared. I haven't been back since Tuesday so I don't know what the second ice event brought down.

She works in a rehabilitation hospital. She wears a mask all the time while at work. She entered a patients room that had not been diagnosed with Covid until after her encounter with that patient. When a patient is admitted with Covid they are isolated and nobody but the nurses can enter the room. Unfortunately this patient wasn't diagnosed until after admission.The hospital protocol for the workers is that they have their temperature taken twice a day. Unreliable at best, neither my wife or I had a fever at any time while we had it. On a side note my two daughters had it with no symptoms. My oldest daughter found out after a friend was in contact with someone who had Covid so they both went to get tested, the friend was negative and my daughter was positive. I will also say this and please don't take this as a statement to diminish the virus it's not fun, but the symptoms I had were more like a mild flu. I've had worse cases of the flu than this was. I had chills and body aches especially anywhere that I have arthritis it would just throb. Acetaminophen worked well for relieving the aches. Had a couple of nights with severe night sweats, but the worst was vertigo. The vertigo would start about a half an hour after waking up and last until mid afternoon. The anxiety of not knowing if it would get worse was probably also one of the worst things mentally to deal with. It took me fifteen days to be fully ok but another week to feel like I did before getting it so total three weeks. I consider myself very fortunate that it wasn't that bad due to the fact that I have some underlying conditions that could have made this much worse asthma being one of them. Stay safe and do what you can to avoid getting it. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any set in stone symptoms or outcomes if you get it.

Good cold weather beer

thanks @Barry for the recommendation, it’s really nice!

It's hard for me to even guess, it would be much higher in older people. we were actually taught that shit. General *out on the road* population today? 5-25%

Yeah, a pass that spot a few times a week. The number of cars cresting the hill at high speeds can be pretty intimidating.

As a geologist who is infatuated with bike packing, I just went 6 to midnight.
