Mornin!

1. Doggo with reconstructed knee is supposed to be resting. Clearly she is not on board with this idea, as she has lept the barriers we put up on two occasions to relax on the couch. Hoping her stubbornness doesn't impact her recovery.

2. Had lunch with my wife's 95 year old friend yesterday. It was great to see her, but also sad to see shes going downhill. I suppose that's what happens at that age, but shes the absolute sweetest thing so that makes it tougher to watch.

3. Bro wants me to sign up for the Ninja MTB skills clinic. Any of y'all ever done something like that? Worth my time and money?

The only MTB coaching you need.

1. Send it
2. If you eat shit get up and try again

Those riding clinics are the rage up here. Newcomers on dentist bikes wanting to ride like their buddies who have been at it for 20+ years. What you get is a bunch of broken bodys and bruised egos.

I’m lapping Bittersweet off of American Eagle in the gondola because comfortable. Might have to find a new run: finally couldn’t find fresh tracks all the way down, only for most of it. FairPlay was still mostly virgin.
If snow is good get far skier's right and ski black bear trees. Go!

I love taking Haley and other neighborhood kids out for rides because of that shit. I'm intrigued to see where she is at on her bike this spring after a whole winter of Devo for skiing. The overlap is so much, especially when it comes to comfort with speed.

This thing has BRAKES? Whhhhaaaatt?!
"Haley - use the front brake too!" "Haley - slow down please" "Haley - only go as fast as you can see ahead"

"Daddy, you're going to slow" "Why do I have to walk this section?"

Last nights hockey game was a total bust. Portland has been crushing it all season, except for Everett. :rofl: They have beaten Portland 3 times now this season. Scored 28 seconds into the game. 6-2 final, it was bad. Still fun, but I have a hard time paying $12 for an IPA I don't like.

It is popular out here too. I don't understand it, but to be fair I don't understand most things people do.

For real? Would be a shame to see Turner go, though a visit to their website shows a greatly diminished product lineup. Was it the emergence of plastic bikes that did them in?
i should disclaimer that yea, that's only my perception. i don't have any solid info. their lineup has dwindled drastically, 3 mtbs, a cross/gravel bike, and a road bike. they haven't offered a DH bike in how many years? not saying i wanna see them go away, but this sure isn't their heydey.

There is a DW link 5 spot on eBay I am trying to talk myself out of.
