There are plenty of good network scanning tools out there, as soon as I check in I run one to see what is on the network. Some smart people can mask them on the network with VLANs, etc so they can be harder to find, but most of the places we’ve stYed have novices setting up their network.

on iOS my favorite simple one is Fing.

Appreciate the tip! I use AngryIP to scan the usual /24 gener-o networks then do a quick http/s check. There’s usually nothing juicy. Most the places have default passwords on their routers so I go in and put blocks to porn sites and leave them 🙂 

Trying to upload a few more pics but outta space. I’ll have to look into hosting them elsewhere

Out of curiosity, what do you look for in an Air B&B?

Sounds like you guys are really making memories. Super cool!

Here are some things we look for:
 

Does it have a garage and do we have access to it(bike storage and staging for loading)

Parking(current place was built in 1865 and the driveway is so narrow we cannot open our doors all the way due to the neighbor bushes and location of the house)

Minimal stairs (they get old fast with kids and at 10k ft, ha)

Bed(we prefer firm)

Curtains in the bedrooms (black out ones preferred)

Space for my work setup and space for the kids to do school and play

Fenced in yard

WiFi

Keyless entry

Walkability (parks, coffee, restaurants)

We ask if there are security cameras and if so the locations. There can't be any in the house

2 months and 4k miles in now and we have a good rhythm for packing and what to look for in an AirBnB. 

I’ve ridden my bike less than I thought I would due to all the driving around to visit other places and family hikes and even some moto riding with friends here. Our kids love it here and they enjoy the hiking, wildlife and parks. My son is obsessed with trucks and every day he sees sweet rigs driving around and says “truck!” and points which gives me vehicle envy. We’ve seen a few Earthroamers and they are impressive in person. 

We are in Colorado Springs now and will stay on the front range until the end of our stay here in CO. We’re headed to Ft. Collins next for Thanksgiving week then will be in Boulder for 2 months. After that we’re considering AZ(Sedona/Flagstaff/Prescott). 
 

yo, seth that is awesome! high fives all around

Some pics from an overnight trip to Telluride. Wish I was able ride more but it worked out as the smoke rolled; we needed to head back 

We're in Pagosa Springs then headed to Frisco for a month then Colorado Springs for 6 weeks and then with friends in Ft Collins for a week for Thanksgiving. December will likely be in Boulder but we have not booked a place yet. We also haven't decided where to go after New Years. West of the Rockies might be a challenge in winter and we don't want to have to carry winter clothes/gear for too long. 

Only my oldest daughter(6) and I ride. My wife can't because we have a 3yo and 1yo who cant ride. They go in the massive double stroller.. Tires are good. I got new ones before we left that were higher load rated, lower profile and wider(235/60/18 to 255/55/18). No tire squirm and I can carve up these mountain roads on my fresh all seasons, ha

Trip is going well so far. The Pilot could use some heavier springs in the rear for this highway dips at 80MPH 🙂 MPG was awesome and the avg for our 1200mi so far is 20.4.

It was my oldests birthday the day before we left so I got her a new ride. This Vitus bike is great. She loves it and the hand brakes were no issue for her. She switched from a coaster brake bike and 14” wheels. We’re working on shifting which she almost has done.

my Saris rack was missing a bolt. I got on to the site and see Cindy 🙂

ROCKSHOX MONARCH PLUS BASIC SERVICE KIT

P/N 11.4115.129.010

this is for an older Monarch. new and unopened

I would use the CO2 to seat the tire. I don't know if tires have gotten better but in the last few years but I haven't had to use an air compressor to seat a tire. A floor pump does just fine. I normally seat the tire, remove the valve stem core and add my sealant and reinflate

Found the perfect rack https://www.saris.com/product/superclamp-ex-2-cargo

Remote working and space for the kids to learn and play is key for us. No lumbering around in an RV or Sprinter. I do wish our Pilot was 4WD but it’ll do. We are minimalist and there’s a Wally World nearly everywhere. Just no HEB’s 😞 

A molle panel is something I need to look into. My 4runner had one for the rear side window. I need to select me essential car tools and bike tools and figure how I’ll pack/store then. I was thinking I would pass on the floor pump and use CO2 or my pump from my waist pack 

Posted on FB. I will be someone flexible on the price and have extras I will throw in for anyone on here. 

The size is medium but its really a large. My 6'3 250lb friend was on it Bentonville for a week and it was fine apart from needing the rear spokes tensioned

We have copies of all the kids birth certificates in our family iCould. That was a good reco. The bikes will get locked up with a cable lock while on the road. 

The Yakima Skybox will hold all clothes, shoes, coats and a stroller. We don't need to pack much in the way of clothes or food and we'll be using vacuum storage bags to save space. The Pilot will be a great vehicle as it's the one we have and it's been good on all our other trips. 

We've sold our home and will traveling with our 3 kids(6yo,3yo,1yo) for an undetermined amount of time. I have a list already of what I need to take for working, riding and getting out with all the kids. We will be staying at AirBnB's so a lot of the basics will be covered. What are some necessary items yall travel with if you're going to be away for awhile? Hoping to get some ideas for things I haven't considered

Our vehicle is a Honda Pilot with a Yakima Skybox 21 and a 4 bike rack(which I need to purchase still). First major stop is CO, then UT and who knows

Free Harbor Freight parts bins. There is a wall mount that goes with these as well. Pick up is in Pflugerville 45/130 area

My first every mountain bike on the day I brought it home - 10/1/06. Purchased from Ozone RIP 

I have a wheel box if anyone needs it for shipping. Located in Plugerville. PM if you want it

kids skills area off  Sam Walton Blvd. My 5yo had a lot of fun and got to ride most of All American and some of the new wooden roller features in "phase 2"

 Good choice on the vibracores. Any plans to check out buffalo trails in ponca?

Newp. Wasnt even on my radar. My favorites on this trip where Tunnel Vision in Bella Vista and Fitzgerald Mountain. Lots of new stuff in Bentonville and I'm always so jealous when visiting(was here in Nov, then 3 weeks ago, again last week and leaving tomorrow)

My wife and I were up here visiting my family and then had 6 days with our friends and their kids. Spent a lot of time playing tour guide and drinking too much

nonboost. i ended up seeing the 350 vibrocore's on crc earlier and pulled the trigger. i had the Hub shop here in town true my SRAM rear wheel and today on Fitzgerald Mountain / Best Trail Ever I got a stick in the spokes. hurray

Sorry no experience with the Oozy but I second Chief my XM481 have been bulletproof.  Sorry for the tangent but are things in Bentonville pretty open?  I've been thinking about making another trip up there but if the restaurants and shops are still shut down I'll probably wait a while longer. 

Peddler's pub is take out only and the Amazeum museum is closed(i have young kids). Every restaurant we went to required a mask entering, going to your table and then going to the bathroom. I have been into The Hub bike shop a few times and their hours are normal. I've been up here twice this month and would say it seems mostly normal. 

I've got two wheelsets and both require tensioning and true'ing every couple months. One set is Stan's Flow and the other SRAM Roam 40. (i'm currently in Bentonville and having one of the wheels tensioned/true'd...)

I saw Jenson has the Oozy 350 wheelset for under 400 and the engagement looks good on their hub. Just curious if anyone has abused them locally and how they've held up? I was considering having a wheelset built but for under 400 that Oozy wheelset looks guud especially if I can get 2 years of casing jumps and plowing rock gardens out of them.

If you can, I would move her to a bike without a coaster. Get her using handbrakes. I know we all loved our epic coaster brake skids as kids, but the improvement in braking is so huge and it really helps teach proper bike handling. IMHO.

Yeah, I'm torn on that. It would be better for her but I dont want to make it harder for her starting off on the bigger bike. Her personality is such that she'll want to quit and then not be interested for awhile. I'm thinking I'll have to get her two bikes. Let her build confidence on the bigger wheels and familiar coaster brake then get a bike she can ride "trails" on with me.
