I guess technically it was just last week (work has my brain thinking it’s been longer), so no not that super cold. They sure know how to rub it in that I couldn’t go that one week…. I’ll throw my hat in if you need another commitment.

A bunch of our club guys were out in the Snowies two weeks ago - great conditions there as well. This is what I get from them…

FFS really? I suppose I’ll get lumped into this bullshit just for quoting now.

Hell no.

They’d rather chew off their own fingers than admit anything.

I think it was the mid-2000’s when a bunch of guys who were riding big snows out there and making vids (VHS) of their adventures and selling them. Would make me curious to know if those guys are still riding. Last couple years now would be pretty epic!

Awesome! Crazy how they are in a wet cycle again… keep those reservoirs filling up!

Exhibit A posted daily. Remember, we need more land scapers!!

Sad story but I seriously cannot figure out why people put themselves in these situations. 169 is a major Highway, even with 55mph speed limits there are plenty of places where a distracted driver could wander into the shoulder if only for a brief moment. Biking or running, that road is not a place for “pedestrians” IMO. I won’t put my trust in other people in that situation.

As @sleepybrew pointed out, It simply boils down to paying attention and disposing of distractions. You can avoid 99.99% of everything including tickets if you are just paying attention 100% of the time.

“I didn’t approach life as a victim…” words so many people can’t comprehend.

So hurry up and pass a bill to fix Biden’s 3+ year debacle in policy, got it. At least you can admit that now.

This is one example of if he had done NOTHING it would have been better. Now they (Because it’s clearly not Biden) get to try and look like they fixed a problem that they only exacerbated.

I know your not supposed to look past the foreground, but like in this pic, they must have said “WTF” at some point!!

He got off easy after a lifetime of being an asshole. Too bad first responders became his ultimate target… "I feel like all of this could've been avoided," she said. "Just the negligence in the court system, they failed my children.” Court records: Burnsville shooting suspect was 'emotionally,' 'physically abusive' to mothers of his children Two orders for protection filed against the man accused of fatally shooting three first responders and injuring a fourth in Burnsville on Sunday detail a pattern of abuse, according to two mothers of his children. The first was a handwritten petition for an order for protection against Shannon Gooden in 2017. In it, the woman requested protection from Gooden for herself and their shared child after an incident where she said he "head-butted {her} face," causing a concussion and black eye before. She also said he threw her down the stairs. She went on to write that Gooden had been "emotionally and physically abusive from the very beginning" and that police were called during their fights "a few times." Then in 2020, Noemi Torres - another mother of three kids shared with Gooden - also said that he caused her to fall down the stairs by side-swiping her foot after an argument during which she said he also "grabbed a knife and cut my clothes." She wrote, "I am and have been very afraid of him for a long time." That petition was ultimately dismissed, the judge citing a lack of proof. Three and a half years later, Torres told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that her kids were in that Burnsville home when investigators say their dad shot and killed three first responders before taking his own life. "I feel like all of this could've been avoided," she said. "Just the negligence in the court system, they failed my children." Torres also added: "They're not good. At all. You know, my daughter is constantly thinking about that moment in time that she is forever gonna have in her life. The way she was telling me she was sitting on the bed, you know, she walked over his body, after he took his life, and she just balled crying." "My kids feel for the families of the lost victims as well, you know. I think we're all just in mourning right now," said Torres. The 2017 petition was also dismissed when the petitioner didn't show up in court. A couple of years later, the woman in that case actually wrote a letter in support of Gooden when he petitioned to get his gun rights back in 2020. The judge ultimately found her allegations of abuse important enough to cite them when he denied Gooden's petition, upholding the lifetime ban against him from owning a gun . That ban against Gooden dates back to a 2007 assault conviction. 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS also obtained that criminal complaint in which a verbal argument with male family members of a woman who suspected Gooden was behind "harassing phone calls...made to her cellphone" culminated in Gooden and one of the other men "squaring off to fight." That's when the investigator said, Gooden pulled what witnesses described as a 7-inch knife out of his pocket and threatened to stab the other man. The complaint also said Gooden threw rocks at the family's car as they drove away, breaking the rear-view window, before he fled the scene. Under state law, that lifetime ban exists as a public protection against people convicted of crimes which are, according to lawmakers, "indications of future dangerousness."

Yup! Enough to put 5-6 miles on the two sleds that have been sitting…an itch scratcher!

My 29yo daughter just home from Cuba!
