    Bike thefts and 1up

    This is Texas, have have these assholes not been shot?
    I dont think you were on Mojo when he was doing his thing. He broke into homes and took bikes. People were in the houses.
    The videos of him breaking in and stealing bikes were both amazing and very very scary.
    He was eventually caught but if I recall is now out of prison.

    Devils advocate here...
    Regardless of what reason a person feels it is OK to ride muddy trail , one chain on one trail that has more than one legit entrance is not gonna stop people. If the chain is up where it was installed but you can instead ride up the paved path and hang a left at the trail there, then folks will do that.

    Not to mention all the other tons of ways to enter any of the trails at BC

    Cedar fever!

    I think for most people it's not a huge issue. However, if I did that and ignore it, I end up with a upper respiratory infection and then bronchitis.

    Typically I get hit really hard at the beginning of the cedar season and if I don't get it under control then the next few months are a living hell of barely sleeping and staying inside.

    Most years it's not that bad, but years like this when we have record highs are just shit.

    Today was the first time I was able to get through gumdrop without clipping a pedal, putting my foot down, or tumbling into the creek.  #goals 
    Dude.. if you rode down Gumdrop and did a no dab across that bridge all the way down .. that's pretty awesome

    Yep that was a pleasant surprise running into you guys. Ended up having to use my phone to find my way back after we separated. 
    Dont worry .. if I had gotten back to the truck and still saw your car there ..I would have launched a search for you

    I have a theory that if you’re born here and never leave you are naturally immune for life. Everyone I know who struggles with this isn’t truly native to Austin even if they’ve lived here almost their entire life. If the cedar count is insanely high it just effects me the same way breathing dusty air does. Maybe a little bit of dry throat and I have to blow my nose a few times just from the shear amount of junk in the air.

    Agreed. Been here since '72 when I was 2.
    For me .. I think the reactions to something like pollens is natural. It can suck sometimes . It is my body's reaction naturally that helps me more that swallowing pills. I expect my eyes to get irritated. I expect the scratchy throat or snot nose. That's how the body reacts to something like pollen. When I'd did take a pill to dry my runny nose for example I feel so much worse. I just roll with it and rarely have bad issues.
    Blow my nose.. cough up junk a bit
    Meds make me feel cloudy and worse off.

    I am skeptical of the medical industry and think the so called allergy doctors stumbled on a gold mine and sell snake oil to people in the name of managing allergies.

    Day was amazing, but brought out so many. I had 3 near collisions on 1/4 notch on blind corners I decided today was a day to head home before something bad happened. I was even looking out for it and still had close calls.  
    Days this good mean you ride where the new bikes with reflectors arent. Glad you made it out unscathed
