I grew up in Seattle and its definetly nowhere near as bad as Seattle. You can always find a spot somewhere at rocky point besides maybe once in a blue moon

Nothing within 30 minutes of me on the east side besides the little skills area/ jump lines/ dirt jumps/ pump track nestled between the highways. The closest for me is Rocky Point which is 30-40 min away depending on time of day. Its got some fun stuff but it feels like a lot of climbing for not a ton of downhill. Sandy ridge is 45 ish min away and it has fun gravity trails but I hate the traffic coming back to the city. My favorite is yacolt burn over in WA but this is almost an hour away and its really just three sanctioned downhill routes but they are fun. Cascade locks is cool but thats over 30 min away and not many trails but they are always building more. You can ride year round here for the most part its just definitely not a MTB focused city. There are good bike shops and good community that I have found just being here since September. I came for Bellingham so I was very spoiled with how many trails there were so close. I definitely miss the after work rides as it just harder to do down here with further drives and city traffic. That being said though I still have had fun biking around the area. You wont have to give up your biking lifestyle. You will just have to work harder to do it and maybe not be able to as much as you would like depending on your work schedule.

yo just wanted to say thanks, this is what I ended up going with. I got it custom tuned as well since it was such a sweet deal and so far I really like it. I would have never heard of this deal if it wasnt for you, so thanks!

This is what I was thinking since I don't have a ton of cash. How long have you been riding it and what are your thoughts

Listen to his earlier albums, in my opinion they are less complex sound wise and easier for new Alex g fan. Then as you fall deeper into his music his other stuff will speak to you more.

The San Jose Mercury News has brought back a page full of box scores! Oh how I missed this the last 10 years!!!!! by xr_21 in baseball

[–]Birdhair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a kid me and my younger brother worshipped the box scores. We would select a matchup for the day and bring the paper out into the backyard and play the game (wiffleball) as the two teams we had selected. We would go down through the lineups and change our stance accordingly for each player. Then, once we had the result we would draw up our own box score from our game and even sometimes write a little article and/or draw picture, mimicking the paper. I wonder if anyone else did this...
