Dude, I remember the first time I was let back on a bike. Physical therapist chased me around the parking lot like he was my dad teaching me to ride. It was awesome. Good for you! Keep going!
once the transaction is complete, please forward to my address. I will pm you the details.
I don’t see a dog in this photo…
if that jacket is green, I have exactly the same one.
I would have said buy Patagonia with their life time warranty and repair program. I just got my 2nd jacket upgrade for free as the waterproofing on the seams did not work anymore. I did pay 50 to upgrade to a Goretex model.
Yeah, that's pretty much it. Except it was my wife and kids. I'm going to try to bring them to school today. Could be one of the last times of the year as they're calling for a slush storm tomorrow....
Be safe. My first time back of after my back surgery was really slow and really short. I think I rode around the block and it was at "ride with your 4 y/o" pace. I'm pretty sure that was when I started slowing down. The "land mine" incident which @Nick can attest to was a hellacious crash was when I started largely staying on the ground when I ride. Same since I blew up my shoulder two years ago. My go-fast pace and urge is just... gone. Just assume a big throttle back going forward.
I'm with this guy ^^
It *really* sucks when you're just moseying along and suddenly get thrown to the ground for no apparent reason. I think it's because I'm old.Hence why I'm slow
I think I missed what happened to you? (sorry).I'm with this guy ^^

I recently saw a FB video of a certain Colorado ride and the lack of the riders' commitment to climbing that tech section was ... disappointing.Hence why I'm slow

Yeah - my crash was also a fluke - I was slowly cruising on a high country ride back in late September, and suddenly I was going over the bars. The only thing I can think of is that I clipped a pedal? Not sure, though...
I don't FB on my work computer or phone, will share later. It is a M.H.'s video, IIRC.

How about, no?
wasn't really, honestly
GODDAMMIT. I was JRA.
That climb is tougher than it appears in that video. And that Joe dude is SMOOTH and skilled as all shit. Esp since he had heart surgery not too long ago.wasn't really, honestly
Bunch of granny gear spinning people including @Full Trucker or a fine facsimile thereof get hung up on a ledge. Some try the high/right line. One dude spins up that line.
oh I think I know where you're talking about. the challenge there is the steps are just about 1 wheelbase apart. it does take some finessing to clean.wasn't really, honestly

I haven't ridden that much, but I've never made it up. The ledge that caught @Full Trucker was the one that always stymied me. Joe just made it look sooooooo smooth and easy. I kinda want to study his line and try it some time. Kinda.
His key to success is commitment. Run, Forrest, run!I haven't ridden that much, but I've never made it up. The ledge that caught @Full Trucker was the one that always stymied me. Joe just made it look sooooooo smooth and easy. I kinda want to study his line and try it some time. Kinda.
What you're saying is that it used to be gnarlier? Not sure I ever rode it prior to "improvements"...
Looks like you already did
I gave her back.
