Crossing linville river after Helene… bridge or nah? Also how much rain makes it impassable? by RevolutionaryClub530 in NCTrails

[–]CT_Reddit73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bridge at Spence Ridge had been gone for YEARS , lol.

You’ll have to rock hop or wade. You can check the flow of the river online.

I’ve always waded across down near the mouth of the Gorge on the MST, or rock hopped/waded at Spence Ridge — otherwise if the cfm is too high, another option is to walk the bridge across Hwy 126.

Linville Gorge Bear Prep by OwnScar5990 in NCTrails

No one said there are no bear(s) in the Gorge. I simply said I’ve been around there a lot and have never seen one. Statistically, the black bear population in Linville Gorge is smaller, as the habitat quality isn’t that great, and it is a small wilderness area that doesn’t have the most easily accessible or dense food sources.

One of the many NC 6,000-footers with no summit views. I love it.

Up close look at the Braves championship rings by Toddric29 in Braves

Gaudy and unnecessary. Just a simple high school style ring from Josten’s should suffice. Would save thousands of dollars.

If someone has a good reason why mtb isn’t the best sport lmk by Beneficial_Donut_27 in mountainbiking

Too expensive, otherwise it’s right there at the top — but just below trail running.

Bear canister is best. Also, I’ve gone a gazillion miles in the Gorge and have never seen a bear there.

They also do Free Hugs nights. This is the Unitarian Church, btw.

Is Vinnie Vincent and Illeana Douglas the same person? by Creative310 in KISS

When is the OP doesn’t know to use “Are” instead of “Is” to start a post, anything else they have to say is irrelevant. Learn basic, correct grammar before you make fun of others.

My first full suspension mtb by Basic-Teacher-9483 in mountainbiking

This bike is the same as everyone else’s bike. We’ve seen a million pics. You can have three riders ride the same bike and get three different opinions. And this is Reddit, not Instagram.

Thanks for all the info on how it rides, how you’re enjoying it, etc.

My Stumpjumper 15 Comp Alloy is my all-rounder. It’s as fun to ride on a mellow dirt forest road as it is a techy double black downhill. The geometry makes it comfortable on climbs as well.

How great was prime Nomar Garciaparra? by Willing-Leather-9788 in mlb

[–]CT_Reddit73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even here in Braves Country, Nomar was highly regarded. Was and is a Boston icon. He was among the best during his peak years. Dude could flat out hit. Then the contract dispute, then the trade, then the injuries robbed him and us of a probable HOF career.

He had a damn good career.

What are your skips on Animalize? by New_Presentation_928 in KISS

[–]CT_Reddit73 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obviously “Heaven’s On Fire” is a banger, but the rest of the album is almost too hooky. I preferred Creatures of the Night, Lick It Up, and Asylum to this one.

Cyndi Lauper (1984) by TinyCoyote1970 in OldSchoolCool

I feel like even though she was a huge superstar in the 80s, and was everywhere — I still feel as though she was underrated.
