get back to work. don't you have some tailgate switches to order or something?

last year we were all hammering a long downhill. i was ahead of the ebikes but knew they were coming. i moved over and my handlebar hit a dead tree. i didn't realize the tree swayed and broke off on the way back. landed on my buddies neck as he went by at 25mph, and he went head on in to a tree. i thought he was dead. he was ok. they were like damn sleepy, trying to kill the man. that tree was like 20ft high and got him at the base of his neck

i'm surrounded by ebikes but i am holding out. we ride tonight at 7 , and when i ended up with 2 "acoustic" riders and 7 ebikes i stopped going every week. not feasible to ride together, i just started riding other times. well they figured it out , ebikes at 530 , and the rest of us at 7 as usual. maybe an ebike or 2 stays , but they ride our speed.

i do run the fattest tires i can, tubeless of course. my fat bike has studded tires, also tubeless. and a wren inverted fork that is pretty trick

my bronson is 150/150. i probably don't use all of it but is a cushy bitch. 27.5 is good in our knarly , rocky terrain, but 29er rolls better. i removed a token from my fox 36 to make it even more supple. i can rebuild it myself when the time comes, as well as the rear. 400 psi of nitrogen in those little rear shocks!

Haha, I still have some me coffee cake and a shitload of Girl Scout cookies , ice cream in the freezer . You would think I was fat but I’m not , lol

Pasta and sausage, salad and bread. She had eggplant meatballs, which I don’t eat

crockpot chicken marsala , egg noodles, peas, broccoli . more sour cream coffee cake

exactly. many benefits from mtb, just try to stay within the limits of your ability. the ski mountain environment made it easy to leave snowboarding. we have a bunch locally, one i can see from my job. they just get worse and worse. one just went private, 175k a person to be a member. going up to 200k and 10k a year. talking about enjoying the "rarified air" . that's what city folks must call non polluted air

i gave up snowboarding to avoid getting fucked up. yeah the bike can hurt you but you can get hurt many other ways that are not nearly as fun. i ride with a guy in his 80s. rubbing your tire on the climbs and downhills. jumping, wheelies, he does it all. he is from a club to our south, and when the other guys come i ask "where's frenchie?" . we left him home so he doesn't show us up

tonight i had potato chip crusted halibut with a white wine sauce, saffron rice, snap peas, red cabbage , carrots , a roll and butter. washed down with a brooklyn lager . couple girl scout tagalongs so far, but there is a sour cream coffee cake waiting.

my sled buddy is a roadie. cool, respectful one. i tease him when i see dickheads in the road and acting entitled. that crowd brings it on themselves. we are in the woods on private lands that we maintain. 90% of the guys i ride with have sleds, dirt bikes, quads, etc. , and 100% are all for it even if they don't have anything. the guys in the video on snow with gravel bikes is just stupid. go run your skinny tires on someone's cross country ski trails and see how they react

don't lump us in with those assholes. trying for a positive thread here

oh yeah. went to the kingdom, stayed at a sweet air bnb. big group of us. we had a good weekend. the bad part is i crashed both days. unlike me to do that but it was raining and leafy, i hit a root to catch air, landed in a criss cross of roots and ate shit bad. next day coming down a huge hill , flying , rolled my pedals back and put my weight back. hooked a little stump with my pedal. threw me through the bike. 2 in a row, i was dinged up pretty good. went in to town and it had awesome mtb vibe. had a beer and app at the tiki bar , was a good time. i think they lost some trails after we were there, but i have friends that go every year. i brought a whole "shell" and cut a bunch of ny strips for the grille. awesome from the local meat market. i made ny strips with blue cheese butter. twas killer!

joe dirt in the photo is actually from france. he is a fashion model as well as his wife. really cool down to earth people. i get ll bean catalog and there he is. not gonna leave her out

and did nothing for the black community in the process

preps you for sled season for sure

i'm rockin' a santa cruz bronson. my old ass needs a big , cushy ride. but that bitch rips

we had nearly 30 miles, and fucking people on foot during the pandemic got us kicked out of some of the best we had. the land owners told us not one mtb rider incident in 27 years . but the hikers were obnoxious. naked, shitting, garbage, telling land owners to go fuck themselves. in the one guys yard taking pictures with his lawn decor. then flip him off when he tells them to beat it. we lost some sweet shit. the one even tried the mtb only signs , and gave up. they were all sad to do it but we do not blame them. we still have killer riding

a few more. some of these guys are childhood friends. been riding with these guys since 1976. bmx, road, and in 1987 mountain. the four of us in 1982. we still all live within a few miles of each other. i'm #4 our halloween race. my buddy joe dirt

usually get out earlier than now but i'm about to start and i'll ride till Thanksgiving. even fat bike after that . we have our own trail system that we have built and maintained for 27 years. we have some good shit. https://www.facebook.com/571306546231350/videos/762044737873289 https://www.facebook.com/571306546231350/videos/2369004853403838 https://www.facebook.com/571306546231350/videos/127467312548787 https://www.facebook.com/571306546231350/videos/425424505204829 https://www.facebook.com/571306546231350/videos/664899328289278

damn sure not gonna be general motors

if someone is gonna do it it will be yota

my buddy is a tsa agent at the local airport. my other buddy thought it would be funny to mess with him. so e walks up to him acts strange and asks "you guys aren't gonna strip search me are ya?" . tsa guy said "mike if you don't get away from me they are gonna tackle you and you are gonna miss your flight" . he backed off

what kind of taxes in NH on these homes? upstate ny is getting fucked by taxes. depending where you live, average house can be 10k or more. nice house 15-20k a year. along with prices 3 times what they should be. nyc transplants bought everything we had.
