Shit that annoys you

Unfortunately for you, they are out of what you need:. https://www.amazon.com/Passion-Lubes.../dp/B005MR3IVO

And when you're done with the lube, the drum can be used for body disposal. WTF? Shades of Jeffery Dahmer. *shudder*

[Gepeto]

...you weren't following the firm "old men 85% rule"?

So what is that rule? Never heard of it.

Only go at 85% of your ability. Like a good golf swing. Hard to implement - you would hope somewhat easier as we mature. Only FGB (full goose bozo) on that rare occasion.

After finely getting OG's crash... err slip and slide - it doesn't seem to apply.

eta: smooth recovery OG

The fucking fatbikers fucking up the skate ski track.

The fucking fatbikers fucking up the skate ski track.

They don’t have hours or separate trails?

[steff]

National Parks. There are separate trails but they ride the ski trails anyway. Pedaling past the "no biking" signs posted all over the place.
It wouldn't be so bad if they'd go a straight line and act right. But they swerve all over, hit the brakes, wipe out and rut the shit out of the track.

Dog shit on the track will show them

That won't help, it's their dogs shitting on the trails.

So far, this place can eat a giant bag of dicks.
I tried so fucking hard to make this work and every goddamn turn is more ignorant, redneck, shitty weather, racist, stupid, slow, food desert bullshit.
Fuck this fucking move.

Where in VA are you? Once you get out of the DC suburbs you are in The South. Charlottesville is kind of an island though.

Buying touring pants.

I've been really happy with my Dynafit Chugach but after 3 seasons they're getting beat. Off course they've been discontinued so I order the closest updated model in the same size. Turns outs the legs and waist are about 3" bigger than the old model which is odd considering they're advertised as the same fit and the sizing hasn't changed per Dynafit... Oh, well, I exchange the M for an S and get some really amused looks from my wife about my new tight-fitting ass-enhancing pants. For reference I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs (not exactly size S material) but the pants don't feel that tight, the fabric is stretchy anyway, and my wife is very prone to mockery. Haters will be hating, my tight new pants and I are going skiing. One switchback into it I realize it's not going to work out if I ever want children. Ten switchbacks in and I'm losing feeling in my legs, the fuckers are tight in the worst spots when moving around. They're stretchy in the same way lead is soft. Sure, it's technically a soft metal, but if you bang your head on it you're gonna get dizzy pretty quick. Twenty switchbacks in and I've shoveled copious amounts of snow into the now-unlined thigh vents. Talk about an updated model...

Later that day I miraculously locate a pair of the old Chugach pants in the right size and color on some unknown-to-me website. Seems unlikely they'd happen to have an old model in a popular size but hey, you never know. I email them to be on the safe side and get a response within 10 minutes, they have the pants in stock. Victory is mine! I buy the fuckers, get a confirmation email, followed not 2 minutes later by an email notifying me that I'm getting a refund because the pants are sold out. I went skiing with my old pants after that.

Sorry dude. It's not going to get better unless you can move to the Hook (C'ville.)

Do they rent bikes or serve liquor on the trails there?

We don’t seem to have much trouble here and we have the largest free system in the states.

I’m surprised how few fat bikes are actually out on any given day.

[steff]

They rent bikes, which I never realized until now would be rented by people who have no idea what to do. People with no idea about the difference between riding on soft or hard packed snow, temperature, etc... They head out on hard snow, day warms up, the stupid bike can't go anymore, so they walk back the easy way... on the ski trails.
No doubt booze is involved... gotta make 2mph biking fun somehow.

[Powder Ho]

The skunk that sprayed our dog decided to seek refuge in our garage.
He or she is now in a trap waiting to be released tomorrow.
Shout out to Kritter Gitters that trapped it in about 5 mins w/out another spraying.

One of my high school friends here in Aspen was a top level high school Nordic racer. Now he works for the local schools and is a Nordic coach. Instead of getting all butt hurt over bike tracks and footprints in the trail, he laughs at the local nords who whine about defects in the perfectly groomed trail. In Europe, he said it’s a free for all on the trails and the skiers adapt and overcome Little ruts and footprints. My experience has been the same. I think this is more about not being willing to share the trails and resources than it is about real trail damage. You are skiing on a 6’ ski, which will bridge over little grooves without a problem
