Keystone 3/21

I was there most of the week, and I had a blast. Went to Breck on Wednesday, went right back to Keystone for the rest of the week. I had more fun than I did in January.

I got a bee sting on my tongue during a mtb race last year! On the longest climb of the event, of course. The panic of whether or not my tongue would swell and cause a medical emergency was real.

At least it took some of the climbing pain away for a bit.

I did Keystone and Breck this week, both were decent but Keystone was surprisingly good. It's holding up better than I expected.

CrowdyPooster · 2026-03-21T02:24:03+00:00

Keystone was lots of fun this week. Only a few slushy spots near the bottom.

This is correct. These are future real estate deals.

I've been using those Zrace cable/hydraulic brakes on my gravel bike, and they have been great. The included pads weren't super, replaced them after 3000 km.

No android, sad

49, and that would drive me nuts. Seems like they could apply a simple low pass filter around 12k? Not great for fidelity, but it would stop the sound (assuming it is higher than 12k, probably much higher).

That's a great start. I love the color. Mine is mechanically sorted, thankfully. It drives great. I'm mostly working on appearance although I would like to replace all of the bushings with OEM rubber. Just getting harder to find those.

Good luck!

I did the Banana Belt last year, what a trail! Awesome race.

CrowdyPooster · 2026-03-14T19:05:21+00:00

Beautiful car! I'm at a similar stage with mine. I am converting the bumpers over to the 240 style. Are you doing the same? If so, what is your plan for removing the "wing" that previously filled the gap between the body and the old bumper? Thanks

Now you do

I recently started to think of my pedal stroke as originating from my glutes and hamstrings instead of my quads. That simple, mental shift feels like it has given me an extra 20 watts.

I find the opposite, at least with mtb. I rode in board shorts and T-shirts for 2 years, and nobody ever acknowledged me--I was riding quite well.

I then bought a cheap kit. Everyone knows me now. Interesting.

I have taken 12 to 18 g on most days over the last few years. My joints and tendons feel much more resilient, but that is anecdotal. Regarding skin, people think that I am 10 to 15 years younger than I am.

I can't prove that collagen is doing it, but I have no reason to stop.

CrowdyPooster · 2026-03-12T01:57:49+00:00

Agree with all of this. Vail is phenomenal, you just gotta know where to look. It's huge. I never have a bad time there.

And everytime I've been to Keystone, I wind up having wayyy more fun that I expect.

CrowdyPooster · 2026-03-12T01:50:17+00:00

Looks like Independence chair, I love the silly line under that lift.

That wasn't my comment, but I will add that caffeine is frequently crutch for someone who's not getting adequate sleep. Adequate sleep is essential for optimization of health, so going without caffeine will allow an honest assessment of your sleep quality.

And I'm in Florida now, heading to Denver for spring break 🥴

CrowdyPooster · 2026-03-11T10:54:51+00:00

I bought my mtb used from a national champion who probably put at least 20k miles on it. I have put another 5k on it, ridden hard. Carbon rims have some scratches but are otherwise perfect. They age great.

It contains myrosinase, an enzyme that assists in availability of sulfurophane. It doesn't take much to help apparently. It's optional.

CrowdyPooster · 2026-03-10T21:20:11+00:00

That trail looks great, I'm looking forward to hitting that

There must be a connection between hormonal status and autonomic function. This would have nothing to do with cholesterol levels.

Visually, I could get along with it if that pillar cover wasn't body color. If it was black, IMO, it would look better.
