I tried the "Twelve ride flats challenge" after reading the manifesto. Meh. Most of that was learning how to use the flats, since I'd never mountain biked with them (started with toe CLIPS, then clipless.) I used 1/4 Notch (Mulligan/Peddlers/Picnic) as testbed. Yeah, I learned to "lift" instead of "pull", but shins sure paid a price. After those twelve rides, went back to SPDs. If I ever end up with an "urban" bike, I'll at least have new shoes and pedals to ride with.

Where did you get this?! I would buy and drink all of them.

This guy is gonna be here in August. Hopefully will be able to make the show.

How about imperial barrel aged stout with 13%ABV? That's at least 20x one of those "light" beers, yeah?

If I freeze beer, does that make it denser?

Hopefully true in 2 weeks.

Just bought a bottle of Barrel Proof Elijah Craig. My usual is Four Roses single barrel, though Buffalo Trace will sometimes find it's way home, as well as an occasional Blanton's.

Been there, done that.

Just finished a can of Martin House Half Baked. Was planning to ride but not now. Need to recover. With a nap.

Couple responses: That Shankar family just bleeds talent. Also, Diva Dance is always good!

That has to be some master-level parody, right?

Some trails might.

Rode Peddler's last night. Whole tree down on west side, a couple turns back from upper bridge. Easy to get around as it's only covering about 6 feet of trail.

The only "drone" i'd think capable of following a rider on most of our trails would be an FPS racing drone, with the person controlling it somewhere between start and end. I've seen a few videos, but even then they're still crashing into trees.

Could even get a house with a garage like this, providing you need small airplane parking. Cameron Airpark

Got the same, but HAVE used it on trail. Works well.

Got the 1100 Boost on Black Friday. Very nice light. Big plus, it actually fit on a 35mm bar.

When getting a new bike in 2018, I decided on 29er for mostly one reason: rolling persistance. Everything I read was that 29ers maintain their speed better. I'm fairly slow, but once I get moving I want to keep moving. While there might be a comparable mass between a 27.5 with a wider tire compared to a 29er with slightly narrower tires, such that the spinning mass is nearly the same, and speed might be maintained in a similar manner. Be interesting to compare the 2 sizes with close to same rolling mass.

Just bought some red and blue ones. AMAZON black friday deal.

REALLY should've ridden yesterday. Oh well. Don't go back to work until 8th, so hopefully trails will dry out in a couple days.

Green, yellow, or red?

Had switched to Schwalbe Hans Dampf from E13 TRS+ (OEM on bike; way to squirrely for me. side knobs were ginormous.) The HD did not last very long. Tore a hole at Brushy. Switched to Maxxis Minion DHRII 3C Exo for rear (still have HD on front) and it works really well. Will probably try the DHF front next year sometime. F/R 22psi/25psi
