I was stoopid at one point a long time ago also. Didn't have the right gear and would burn holes thru my jeans at the knee. The transition back to dirt was so nice and then the final commitment to mtb was the best! ...but I still seem to break myself
Took the MSF course and started riding for the first time this fall (roads, not dirt, yet). What a way to commute to work! Hopefully I can find a bike I can afford this winter.
What I think I look like:

Next summer I will be able to commute to work in my kayak. REALLY looking forward to that!
That upstream paddle to get home is gonna be a bitch after a long day of work.Quote:

Saw the biggest snapping turtle possibly anywhere ever in that section though, so no noodling for me ;) Never sitting at that damn bridge light again though... I might give a finger for that haha
Hiked up Madonna to lick mansfield's taint this morning. Some nice coverage up high on a few slopes, coulda used my gators hiking thru some of the deeper stuff.

Going to be tough with this warm front. Man, if only it were 10 degrees colder on MTW
Thursday Showers likely, mainly after 5pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 40. Very windy, with a west wind 35 to 40 mph increasing to 45 to 50 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 65 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Thursday Night Rain. Low around 35. Strong and damaging winds, with a southwest wind 45 to 55 mph increasing to 60 to 70 mph. Winds could gust as high as 90 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.
Friday Rain, mainly before 1pm. High near 42. Strong and damaging winds, with a southwest wind around 90 mph, with gusts as high as 110 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Friday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 26. Strong and damaging winds.
I believe they're water constrained this week, not cold constrained. Sunday River, Bull Branch and the ground nearby are all wicked dry, and their's no Denver water board for the COO to trade his soul for water too. Shelly's shot from yesterday shows very little progress around the base area.Quote:

ya i was shocked to see them trying to blow down low with the heatwave and hot rain on the way. press the reset on george so it looks. gonna try to hit the riv on the sunday or monday the 17th/18th of nov for the 1st gym day. unless there's good surf, of course. surf should be fun this weekend.

Free skiing at Bretton Woods today. One trail off the quad. Went up there for about an hour this morning and it was decent enough, plenty of snow and no walking or downloading. Not sure how late they're running the lift but if anyone has the afternoon off it might be worth rallying up there.
what a waste of gas.Quote:

Way late to the party . . .
One more month until I am cleared for full activity. My grade 2 mcl tear last january turned out to be a completely torn mcl and acl, small meniscus tear, and a tibial plateau fracture. major misdiagnosis to say the least. crushing pt in the meantime. looking forward to the season.
Shit.... That's insane. Heal strong, man. Hope to see you out there.Quote:
