Just found out that the beta iOS 18 device will only send satellite messages to another iPhone that is also running iOS 18 so that is a bridge too far for this summer California trip. There is no way I want both of our phones on beta software with 3 days on the road each way.
I knew ahead of time what had happened so I stayed up north in Bella Vista and road B40 and Tunnel Vision. But I didd get chance to cruise into town and check out the carnage. Its very notable for sure. Trees are down in large swaths all along the Razorback Byway. It remindded me strongly of our icepokalypse from 1.5 yrs ago. Except that a chunk of their downed trees where big mature ones, and ours were more massive amounts of limb breakage.
All that said, they community has been fast at work to bring things back (from what I hear). The fun areas of SP1 are open and ppl where out on it. The Byway was pretty much open (except for a big washout near BV and then a dead end due to construction near museum). But overall the area is rebounding and I heard that there were regular crews making big strides each weekend (not unlike our icepokalypse period).
But there's enough open to be worth taking a trip up to if anyone is wondering. And my report was from over a week ago.
Cheers,

I moved my SRAM AXS GX over to the new bike. Once I found AXS I was sold. Put my favorite 740mm carbon bars on. *Probably* going to move my XT brakes over also. I'm not a SRAM brake fan.
In the interest of not creating a zillion threads for tattoos, etc. Why not have a single body modification. We can start with some virus content. I got this 3 years ago, obviously.
Check out these two guys for valid COVID info.

I know we've only met via this board, but I'm so sorry to hear this. Seriously, if you need anything, please let us know. Even just a home-cooked meal ( if you trust us) :). We'll be praying for ya!
Soft muddy trails even with the afternoon sunshine.
I'd give it a day or two and the hero dirt will appear! Our Wednesday group ride is cancelled but we will do an urban ride from the shop instead.
