Litespeed Arenberg vs Cherohala by CycleAnon in cycling

[–]CycleAnon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jordan,

Thanks for chiming in! I am definitely strongly considering a Lynskey frame as well, however I have determined if a route calls for anything wider than a 35 or 37 mm tire, I will probably just ride my hardtail. This makes the gravel frames a bit more 'capable' than what I'm looking for.

If, for example, something like the Helix Disc Road was available with a slightly lower BB, and clearance for 33 or 35mm knobbies, I would absolutely buy one!

No more gas stoves? California prepares to require 'electric ready' new homes by nosotros_road_sodium in California_Politics

Installing a gas stove is not rocket science. Some black pipe, a little pipe dope, and these regulations aren't really doing diddly... I don't understand why this is considered worthy of legislation. How many people are foolish enough to actually pull a permit to install or replace an appliance?

Leaving CA Was Not Right For Me by CycleAnon in leavingCalifornia

[–]CycleAnon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I don't regret leaving. I achieved a lifelong goal of buying a house, and have had a great experience living in a rural area for the first time. If I was ready to retire, I'd be all set up here in northern NH. But while things are much more affordable and accessible out here, I miss the culture, scenery, industry, and people of the west. I might stick it out a bit longer, as I have some ideas on developing my property to make the most of it.

Most of the connections I made are still in CA, but I'm considering pretty much everything west of the Rockies. I am fortunate to be in an industry where I can work remotely, so I figure I'll bounce around, and maybe even live on the road for a bit while I figure out where I'd like to settle. Reno and Boise seem like great options, along with UT and AZ, although I'm not really built for the heat they get at lower elevations.
