It's officially Fall in two days but between the 90+ degree temps and all of the fires it might as well be July. Back to the MTB-ing... and on that note, I put this together recently. Tried to do something a little different, showing how riding can fill some of that void during the off season.

Who's going to be at DOMY tonight at Squaw Creek? 7:00 or 9:00? Is it easy to sneak in booze? (compared to Jones Higher premier)

Take a look at the time lapse video from the mid station gonjola at heavenly's web page. Pretty cool shot of the stars and then the smoke pillowing into the basin. Rode up to the top of Armstrong pass this afternoon in clear air and by the time I got back to my truck it was pretty smokey.
Stevens and red lake peak look much better in white. From last week.

Sorry for the smoked-out triathletes, especially the ones who were counting on one last chance to qualify for Hawaii.
Was at Squaw for matchstick last night. Didn't try to sneak in any booze, but got plenty of smoke. I thought it was the most stoked I've ever been after a ski movie. Hands down. There were so many different examples of ways to have fun on skis and also a real solid approach to the ways that engaging in risk brings meaning to one's life.
Now chance of snow showers in Fx for late next week...

Movie was good last night. Good thing the Ironlung Man was cancelled. More restaurant options in Reno:
Chinese and Sushi: Cafe 168 on Virginia behind the Black Bear Diner across from the Century Theater.
Mexican: Tacos El Rey on West McCarren in the Safeway Lot.
Pizza: True NY Pizza in Sparks. The real deal for east coast pizza.Click. Point. Chute.

True. Unless you actually enjoy eating the good shit. Other than the fact that it is mosty crap, the pizza in cali is outstanding.

I don't think that Phil was trying to start a deep dish vs thin crust battle. They're different beasts. They have about as much in common as either has with a meatball sub.
I will say that Front Street Station in Tahoe City is the closest to NY style I've found in Tahoe, but I haven't tried Phil's suggestion in Sparks.not counting days 2016-17

We have a day scheduled to hit the trails with our staff from work on Wednesday. I know Mt. Rose wilderness and Donner are terrible with all the smoke. I'm guessing Desolation isn't great with the smoke settling in the basin. Does anyone know if Carson Pass is clear?

Hadn't had good Mexican since I moved out here, I know better to order it now when I go back there, besides there are so many better options, why would I.
Deepdish is cake with sauce, its not pizza.
Maybe I was. When you come down this way we will get some real pizza.Click. Point. Chute.

Internet bravery. Go to Lakeshore Drive in Chicago and say that to someone's face. And I suppose you don't like Ragu either. (Back when I worked for a pizzeria in Detroit, owned by an Italian immigrant, when he ran out of the spaghetti sauce his wife made he would send me to the grocery store for Ragu.)

It's not as bad in the morning and it's better the farther south you go. It was pretty much socked in here in Kings Beach by 3pm. More southwest wind tomorrow tho, so the areas downwind from the firei.e. Truckee/north lake will probably be as bad or worse and the areas south will probably be better.
From today:

Why would I go to Chicago ( or Detroit) for italian food? Because they have sections like the North End of Boston and Little Italy like New York? You are basing pizza based upon the ability to make a National chain like Pizzaria Uno and Dominos.. ..chains. I come from the east coast..thats where the real food comes from. Your view shows anyone can post on the internet, if they are brave..or no basis of knowledge.

While I can't vouch for the house or anyone associated with it, the house I stay at is just a few houses down the same road. It's a really great location and cool to be right by the river.
I'm sure you've already seen and approve of this Phil, but it must be posted in any thread with such debates.

the pizza argument is old but I'll bite... you can call chicago style pizza crap pie (or cake) and i'd still choose it over something referred to as new york style pizza.
more importantly, significant precip moving into northern CA this coming week. the season is changing (slowly).

If you ever find yourself in Boston this is one of many. Fuck even the local grocery store chain makes acceptable pizza these days.
True NY is solid, expensive because they can be.
I'll eat most style pizza, replace most with ANY if I'm drunk enough.

Now that hurts. I would NEVER willingly eat pizza at a chain. (Unless I was in a hurry, hungry, with an empty fridge and too lazy to go out and I ordered a pizza delivered from Pizza Guys, or my next door neighbor invited to us out to pizza and took us to Round Table.) (This is what happens when RF starts the new thread too soon.)

Logging back into TGR after a long time off. Good to see this thread up and running. Hoping for a good winter this year for sure. Been out on the road bike a lot this summer.
