Awesome TR, congrats!

Anyone need to get married in Montana in the coming months and I'll do my best to be there.

I used to run Spec tires all the time, and the sale will get me back on some. Fast Trak is a good tire, both F/R. I don't know the differences between the 5 and 7 designations. Get the Control...

Bump as that's one hellofadeal

Have you chased all of the Route Badges down yet? That could be a different option for motivation. Ride your own pace, start with the shorter or lower climbing versions. You'll get a bunch of xp and...

Empower is the custodian. Maybe due to pulling at age 58? I meet all the rules for taking it out "early", so no penalties are involved. Maybe something they have in place for others that might get...

My first year of pulling from my 401k for retirement and the tax problem is the opposite of many.

The 401k company takes 20% Fed from each withdrawal, and you can't reduce that %. I can change...

I found that on Tapatalk, if I mark the entire forum as Read (3 dots, upper corner), then it goes to the most recent posts again.

Similarly, if I mark all as Read from a laptop, the Tapatalk will...

Depending on the type of riding you seek, Missoula is surprisingly dry in the lower mountains. Plenty of xc trails to work on fitness.

We used a Brush Hog to mow the trail network in the Midwest, I was amazed at the capability it had. It might be worth checking out. $4-5k new many years ago. Used might be hard to find, but they are...

Any reliable free streams? I'm not finding one

Cool little spin near Newport, Oregon. Used Strava to find some trails above the city water facility. Then along the waterfront and along the jetty....

Oregon Coast, last visited on our honeymoon. 34yrs in...

Nice! I took this year off, but I am looking forward to road trips next year.

Just to add to the Financial Complaints conversation. I worked for the stagecoach, and we had a Complaints group and an Executive Complaints group that handled any escalated Complaints. Resolution...

It's not Monday here yet Gaijin. Get on the bus!

I had this test when I was going through heart scare tests. I don't know my number, but the cardiologist said I don't have to worry about heart problems, so that was good.

I got laid off around...

I want my payout via VenPal.

Are there any Promaster drivers utilizing a brush guard on the front? There are not too many options or there. But if you have one you like, I'm open to options

Same.

In again, let's win both! Imagine the news story about that one...

Thanks for the organizing, I'm in

An app that helps you find good weather for driving based vacations.

Example: I'm ready to head out in the next two weeks to camp. Happy to drive 10hrs from my house. What direction should I go?...

Do you remember where you got it? I can't find one with Googling.

I missed getting this from FB marketplace. I've Googled and can't find it online. Would have made a good storage spot on top without being as wide as a normal ski box (which I'd have trouble fitting...

Thanks for the additional context and info. My summer goal is to get this all down on paper, as well as experiment on trips with my van. I'm not worried about current needs, but want to learn and...

When the music stops and the chairs are full, will someone let me know if the Broncos will be worth watching again.

I was researching capacity recently and found this video. Based on comments and # of views, I think it is all good info.

Thanks guys for the input. And agree Apex, outside storage or adequate venting will be reviewed.

Schralph, I pulled the trigger....so what size propane tank are you using? I'd like to use something small, like a 5lb'er, but I don't want to be refilling too often. Mostly normal camping season...

I'm checking in after finishing week 3. The long, steady state intervals were hard. 20min at 85% of FTP, then 10min at 75%, repeat 3x. This was after doing 6x of 2min versions earlier. I took a big...

Proportionally compare the wife's w2 from 2022 to 2023 to see if the new w4 form caused there to be less out of her checks.

Missoula news reported of a Utah Man, 64, died in an avalanche near Lost Trail. I believe it was Tuesday. Other sources report him from Park City. I couldn't find an avalanche report yet.

I was also skeptical about London, but I had a good time. We stayed near St Paul's cathedral, which made for good walla on that end of town. St Paul was a good tour, climbing the stairs for good...

Thanks guys, I agree that the warranty and potential Les Schwab roadside service wins out.

This might be the best thread for this question. Guy selling rims and tires for promaster (odd lug spacing so somewhat rare). He says he paid $3200 total and wants $1500 firm. I'm seeing the same...

Renewed as well, hope to meet up with several of you next year.

My go-to for leg injuries or exhaustion is to get my butt within 6-8" of the wall and place my legs straight up the wall. Maximum elevation. Many times, I can feel the blood thumping and moving down...

And sometimes how you apply the filters gets different results. The above link was 3,hatch, manual or unknown.

This link is 3, hatch, AWD and unknown Trans (I didn't look thru results, but 4...

I find cars.com good for searching with specifics. Only 1 manual AWD that I found. Houston.

Bean and Jamal, thanks for the tips. First week of the Gran Fondo plan completed, felt pretty good. I found that spinning near 90rpm seemed to really help stay in the power target range. Oddly, it...

I got the Indy pass last season and skipped this season. Got a pre-sale email to get me back in the fold. $279 for the 2 day blacked out pass, $379 for the no blackout version.

Thinking of...

Saving this here for myself, I found the FB post of the guy that printed one of the Tour Divide route....

I was always told that high cadence will get the most out of your aerobic capacity, and low cadence will work the muscles more. So, we were taught to spin as much as possible until tired and then...

I'll have to play with that. A 3D of the local MTB terrain would be cool. I've also seen a simple 3D line of a hiking trip done as a momento. That would be neat for bikepacking trips.

They really frown on printing a gun in a public library.

Bump - going to the public library for my first lesson and 3D print. A part for the van. I'm looking for the bear spray holder for a bike and anything else that might be good for bikepacking or...

We have some in our large, main living room windows. Battery powered, maybe 12 AAs. This last me a year with daily use. No problems in 4yrs. They do make some with a tiny solar panel to charge...

Nice job! Username checks out

Zwift workouts - getting into them for the first time. I've used my own (old) plans in the past, but decided to try the pre-planned workouts. Gran Fondo plan, which is 8 weeks long - maybe 4hrs a...
