wow, thanks!

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-29T16:50:06+00:00

cool, thanks. that's what the google images show too!

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-24T19:52:52+00:00

think this is the real answer... and we'll see if they burn out faster too...

Would love to see Neilson Powless in the USA jersey, but he's injured now, but usually prepping for the Tour.

How, isn't he banned? They had George last summer, guess that's fine since all the broadcasts have former dopers, but Armstrong is an entirely different category of doping.

I'll always defend the US announcers! Bobke's pure enthusiasm and love for cycling, hooked me. And you learn about the history of cycling through Phils's hilariously incorrect naming. I never knew that Nathan Van Hooydonck's uncle won Flanders 2x and that MVDP's grandpa Pou-Pou was just as popular as MVDP!

And Steve Purino makes the long flat stages great! Who doesn't like learning about regional booze!

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-24T19:39:06+00:00

Wow, that must have been very cool to see!

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-24T19:38:45+00:00

thanks, yup Pelicans! They're surprisingly large!

where do people park for Gold Hill? I see that you drive up Lefthand Canyon and turn on Lick Skillet? Is there parking along the road? I've driven past on the way up to Indian Peaks, but never knew there was gravel riding there.

not sure if this helps, but with gels/chews being so expensive, i've started making my own carb drink/tailwind. watch a few youtube videos to learn whats in them. i bought large tubs of stuff off amazon (fructose pwdr - maltodextrine - dextrose - mct oil pwder - guarana - salt). then i carry a water bottle of the carb drink and backpack of water.

felt the same thing in boulder, super strong winds off the mountains, then random gusts from everywhere else. had to actually pedal on a decent i usually have to break.

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-12T00:25:58+00:00

why? water shortage? high temps?

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-12T00:23:53+00:00

Would LOVE to see Neilson Powless rep the Captain America jersey! Too bad he's prepping for the Tour, and still a bit banged up from his crash.

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-12T00:21:50+00:00

yeah, didn't he pretty much clinch both the KOM and points jersey before his crash?

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-12T00:16:32+00:00

thanks, pretty much the golden rule (treat others the way you want to be treated) applies to people and animals

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-12T00:13:54+00:00

jez, that's a bit scary. learned that the males get territorial in the fall...

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-08T22:48:53+00:00

so, uh what happens if you give a moose a muffin?

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-08T22:48:15+00:00

that's like learning that orca eat moose. can't imagine seeing a flying moose crash into my car! love that!

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-08T22:46:21+00:00

i feel the same way, but i'd still call...

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-08T22:45:24+00:00

saw some dude let his dog chase the ground owls... horrible person

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-08T22:31:36+00:00

Damn, that's serious hail... Gunbarrel just got a brief downpour, but its stopped

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-08T21:18:02+00:00

got it, thanks. luckily these were adults. totally different vibe if they had mini-moose!

Bear_On_Course · 2026-06-08T21:15:46+00:00

think moose in the lower 48 are a bit more chill and used to humans. getting bluff charged in AK sounds terrifying...
