East Coast Roll Call 6.0 Get Your Stoke On!

[Vt-Freeheel]

The cold front passed the MRV about an hour ago. We missed the major thunderstorm onslaught, the Kingdom, not so much. Currently 72.2` and crystal clear air.

This just in...there's a Barney episode about Switzerland. And it looks like the skier is either on pins or x-c. Not sure what brand that board is. Looks like a Toys R Us special.

You know this place is hurting when people are bringing up barney

[ex-powderbroker]

finally got around to watching some of Further the other day. Winter camping doesn't ever look more enticing than in July!



Anyone do anything stoke-worthy over the weekend? I'm about to check into Gimp Central with some stupid self induced IT band issues from obsessively bouldering, so if you have any other snow related flicks from the past few years i'm all about the suggestions.

Sunday riding in Denny with low 70's and no humidity was bliss.

Lots of mossy fun




A forest find = tasty pizza and ravioli



With teh humids back last nights post work 2 hour tour was a sweaty drip fest. Good thing was 2 rides in without having to hose the bike off.

Is it Ullrfest yet? Fuck this season. It's either a total washout or a goddam sauna.

I'm ready for the cold again and it seriously cannot come soon enough.

[mobygrape]

I'm thinking of winter too. I can't even fully enjoy summer activities due to an injury, which should be fully healed by fall.

Bring it on!

nice bike ride stoke vt-free!

twas a splendid ne weekend. worked sat. sunday was a sweet 2 hour surf sesh from 6-8am followed by doggie walk to the beach from the house followed by a gorgeous 2.5 hour road bike ride on a mix of country dirt and paved roads with a good effort up mt a from the south berwick side and a cool down along the coast followed by beers (too many) with drew who whizzed up from boston to help with some house stuff and bbq with the best burgers around. summer has been so sweet on da coast.

I learned that I can't ride a paddleboard in waves.

[Skirotica]

a bunch of lymies, but don't hold it against them.

Ha, ha... classic!



First time always shaky, but do it a little more and you'll be doing handstands...

Summer is sweet on the coast for sure. The lady ran a half marathon in Portland last weekend, so we killed two birds with one stone and towed the cruising boat along. Launched her on the Sheepscot river and spent most of last week exploring. Nice and cool with lots of swimming and taking in the wildlife and scenery. We ate some fried clams too.

Light winds on the Sheepscot.



A lovely gunkhole and our cruising boat tied up for the night.



Beal Island on the Sasanoa. Crazy currents in this area.



One of many sweet sunsets from our island campsite.

hahaha! the perfect still from that vid!

your feet are too far apart...little closer. jump from knees to standing in one motion and look ahead (down the fall line two turns ahead ) and you'll be cruising in no time.

what bike Rog?

Seriously.... Ullrfest could be the most exciting thing in the world to me right now, after smashing some deep tree lines at Magic.

I'm in retard mode, browsing reviews of skis for hours on end. Incredibly epic waste of time. It's amazing how aroused I get just thinking about a new set of boards. Stepped into my boots and clicked into the CRJs and Gots in my bedroom. Supposed to hit 50 tonight... might sleep outside and soak up the refreshment.

[icelanticskier]

I think you guys need to branch out and find other things to amuse yerselves with. summer things. it's everywhere. being stoked for the December WROD, the January thaw, with some pow thrown in here/there must be maddening...........

love summer!!!!

Lows in the 30s at saranac lake. August turns!

BD- you ever SUP on the Concord River? [/invitingmyself]

Never SUPed the Concord River, but often canoe and kayak. Water is a little sketchy and I don't own a SUP board, but let me know if you ever want to kayak or canoe.

For some reason, I'm itching to kayak around the Charles in Boston... which I hear is now safe enough to swim in.


Skirotica, you need to master Sit Down Paddling first, then Stand Up...

If you decide to go for a dip in the charles, watch out for the dreaded Charles River White Fish

I use to teach sailing on the charles back in the day and would see those things go floating by all the time. What kind of grimy person is throwing their rubbers into the river?

[Vt-Freeheel]

I think Rogs' new bike makes my knees hurt, I also need to get to the Maine coast this fall and eat some tasty clams.

The sup caption contest seems to be going well so far , I'll have to put some thought into it.

I guess DoWork worked some magic and it felt like fall on last nights ride. 55` and barely broke a sweat, I imagine all of the riding in teh muggies helped.
Backyard ride was great except that the pussy riders are out again and tore out a hole in a rock wall crossing that has been a completely doable challenge for 16 years. The worst part of it is they created a channel too narrow to pedal through without clipping your feat so I ad to get off. People deteching the trails is one of the reasons I stopped building trails , if you can't ride it, learn or go away.[/endrant]


Backyard last night

[akokskis]

Wow, what a morning - even got into the mid 40°s here in the banana belt, where it sure as hell has felt hotter than evah this summer (when it hasn't been raining !)

So here's a bit of to celebrate the cold
