360 bridge opened up and so did my world. 
there’s places to ride north of the river?

Overlooking the highway, my knees start to quiver. 
 

Along a creek named for El Toro,

ledges galore and exposure galoro!

Unkenamable.?

edit: lol exposure galoro! This prose has no cons.

Older teens, 20 and 30 somethings, the demographic most likely to be asymptomatic spreaders,  are prone to congregating like puffins during nesting season.  

If parks and public spaces are left open, you'll end up with a mob scene everywhere.  There's no perfect option, but buttoning everything up tight seems like the least bad option. 

Also, if anybody cares, face shields offer a lot of protection.  Some Experts Say Face Shields Better Than Masks for Coronavirus Protection

Spittle air can flow around a shield. Thanks but no thanks.

 “I don't wear the shield alone,” says Anne Mary Orr, a dentist in private practice in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. “At work, the whole point of the shield is to keep particulate matter off the mask. The N95 mask I wear under it helps filter breathing the virus. Our greatest risk is to inhale an aerosol at work, more so than focusing on the droplets.”

Any use for concrete chunks of various sizes? I would think you could make a few hills then cover with dirt.

bump. No one has lowspots in their yards?

Hey Mojos, I demoed some concrete and have a small trailer load or two of chunks that may be useful to anyone building berms or hills.

Trail work or adding a hill in your yard to keep car headlights out of your windows. Pile up, Cover with $20 of topsoil. Done. 

If interested call me at 512-825-5602. I need to make a decision asap on where to take this.  It's Friday 11:45 Thanks.

Chit, my first welding shop shared a wall with the OG Boomhouer. It was a dang chop chop knowwamean?

It still gives me pause smelling someone else's farts or Axe body spray when I ride (that was true before COVID-19).

I actually had to nope a pass during a TMBRA race due to some BO. The Peddler guys must live on skunks and stink bugs or something.  Back to the discussion, my neighbor said he saw a 40 person peloton all maskless riding around. Brilliant asymptomatic low T bunch there.

Ok. I'll say it.

While everyone is laser focused on how our neighbors are going to kill us, does anyone wonder if this is a distraction so we don't look at the real problems? Is there any organization who can launch a pandemic that might be bad, but not that bad? Is there any way to blow it out of proportion? Who is mis-informing whom? Is there an organization who can start riots and destroy things? America seems pretty dysfunctional to the outside looking in.

Asking for a friend.

The Astros are really, really, pulling some strings to make everyone forget about their scandal. And it's working. Watch them get to keep the title.

Worth a lap for sure.

I've had a KS eTen for 5-6 years? Only thing I've done to it besides wipe down the stanchion was smack it with a mallet when I didn't ride for 6 months and it got stuck up. That was 3 years ago, it has definitely developed some seat rotation play but I never notice it riding, only when moving my bike by hand. My next dropper will probably be a BrandX or PNW (same thing?) I like the non-moving external routing. 

Same with mine. Set it and forget it. I love raising 2 mm for a tough climb then lowering it 2mm for a tough decent every few months. Spider Mtn would be when I would actually use it. If I can ever get out there. 

KS eTEN has worked flawlessly for 4 years or so now. Why you guys throwing money away again? What's a rebuild? Why spend more than $110? Am I in a parallel universe?

So about as frequent as one should hose down their mtb? I went to yearly. :/

Once my house A/C went out. I bought a window unit for maybe $300 and set it up in the bedroom just for sleeping and TV watching while we waited the long weekend for repairs.

Hank's A/C is owned by Hank Hodes, an avid mountain biker in our group and a decent fellow.

I wish I had a list of what everyone here did. For example if you need a welder, I got a mountain biker guy for ya.

Thanks Tip, that was sweet. Cafeend already knows me, as he has a beautiful branch and grass themed railing I made in his house.

p.s. @June BugI have a portable unit just sitting at my shop if you get into trouble.

Kryptonite from Hartman Rocks, Colorado last summer. 

I love that place. 4 wheeled there one winter. Took a month to finally find my way to the mesa in the western horizon. When I finally got there the hill was so steep I chickened out on the drive up, parked, and hauled my 18" djembe to the top and played that drum like a God. Good times. Nothing like off roading in the virgin snow while the trucked hooked up in the cushioned snow filled ruts like on rails.

I can't even try root drop at walnut and I've ridden there over a decade. Reason: Corn on the cob is delicious.

I have to remind myself some of you have been mtb as long as I started playing drums and guitar (13yo). I don't have to win everything. :)

Thats one reason to do the Idaho stop. Just be sure to yell I-da-ho! as you do it.

edit sorry to throw humor in there, after reading the gofundme bro need prayers and good doctors. Scary.

We were right, Living Strong burns you out. 

Team Live Medium forever!!!!

And yes I beat Lance in men's open at Juan Pelota. It's in the results!

(not really tho, he hauled ass but bailed due to knee injurt or something. I'll take it! Ha)
