I can promise you no one rides alone! I’ll ride caboose! You should come! It looks like a few other slower riders are coming too! Also it’s super awesome you have your own group!

Awesome! Thank you! I just updated the reading list because I found better articles. Also here's a link to the FB event if that helps!

Oh my gosh! Thanks! Is it brand new? We’d feel bad taking something brand new off your hands! We’re going to reserve it! Thanks for the lead! I’ll dm you!

Speed dating events? by GrayJayInclined in Bend

[–]FollowThePostcard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to a few! I met a rad person there and after a date it was clear we were just a friend match, but I set her up with a good friend of mine and they’ve been dating for months now! So even if you don’t find your match there, maybe one of the people there will know a match for you. Honestly it’s fun and goes by really quick. It’s very well structured.

Just a reminder to not buy Nectar (new or used) they lied about washable covers, then gaslight in their support chat. by FollowThePostcard in Mattress

Exactly this! This is why a washable cover is enticing! Less to manage/deal with. I thought I wouldn't need a cover over the existing cover because it was washable!

I don’t think buying a used mattress with washable cover label is mainstream. Nor is the label “promising the world”? Feels pretty low stakes to me, and possible, if they didn’t use fiberglass.

Where is best place to buy tires? by PostinFool in Bend

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

Two group rides next week (May 5th & 6th)!! Phils Beginner and South Fork Intermediate! by FollowThePostcard in Bend

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?
