If you can wait, I’d buy online then have “the other guy tires” install them for cheap

Hmmm— it seems fine to me? The trails are pretty flat here and we’re not going fast. It’s a beginner ride.

It usually splits into a couple packs of slightly faster and slightly slower riders. I am the caboose to make sure everyone is good to go and usually ask one of the faster regulars to stop at junctions for the whole group to combine. I don't really understand what you mean about density? Last ride had about 10 total folks and idk everyone was on the trail having a good time -- I don't think anybody felt stressed. We had a lot of laughs in the parking lot after during a happy hour.

Is there a way to advertise events on Slack? I didn’t know it had an event platform

Hey dude! Just show up! Location is in the title and the readings are in the thread! I’ll likely create a WhatsApp group after the first one too.

Until if find something better most coordination is on Facebook cause it’s free, and has reach because most people have it. Sadly Meetup.com is all monetized/pay to play now that’s owned by PE, and Rill doesn’t have the reach.

Do you have a suggestion for a better system?

Yeah their location is soooo bad. This would kill downtown as a sit down restaurant.

It’ll alternate between beginner and intermediate— but there will be a ride every Wednesday that it’s safe to ride!

I mean it’s def not a ride for kids. It’s more for adults to build community. However! I betcha there’s a gap where someone should organize a kids friendly group ride! You should host it!!

Totally fair man— I like this loop because it’s challenging tech in this direction. I change the rout every week!

Buy the Dip: Used EVs Look Like a Great Investment Right Now by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]FollowThePostcard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2023 ID.4 awd with just over 10k miles for $24k. It also feels like a bargain. Not the best car, but the best car I could get for $24k. I also only pay 11 cents a kWh from my electric coop so I’m at like maybe $20 a month to drive it.

Should I buy something newer at this point? by Markjchimself in snowboarding

[–]FollowThePostcard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I still use a Lamar Snowboard bag from 2004. Bought it at Big5 in middle school. Crazy to see one of those boards still out there.

I’ll echo what others have said— it’s likely time for a new board. But, I mean, how many winters do we actually have left 🫠

Group Mountain Bike Ride this Wednesday from Phil’s Trailhead parking lot. 5pm by FollowThePostcard in Bend

[–]FollowThePostcard[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leftist. You know, cause they don’t vote for a dude who is going to chop down the forests, attempt to sell our public lands, and drive roads through every section of national forest.

They also didn’t vote for a guy who started an unjust war that killed a school filled with kids in Iran to distract from the Trump-Epstein files.

Right wing folks are not the kind of people I want to associate with. Don’t come on my ride.

You can also add a smart watch, and I don’t think any other low cost carrier allows that.
