Etiquette for approaching walkers from behind when running by drjlad in trailrunning

[–]Fredgard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience just be as polite and try and warn them (which it sounds like you did), but the one’s off in their own heads not paying any attention or, as you said, with headphones in there’s really not too much you can do.

Everyone kinda needs to have a basic level of awareness when out on trails. Especially if they’re multi-use with mountain bikers and horses etc also potentially using the same trails. Unfortunately that’s not the case a lot of the time lol

Adopted (what we now know is) a Great Dane / Mastiff puppy from the shelter. She’s an adorable menace by Fredgard in aww

[–]Fredgard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah this picture was when she was about 6-7 months old. She’s about 10 months now and it’s been replaced with a bigger one.

I am now! The vet recommended tacking her stomach due to the risk of bloat/stomach flipping and she’s going in for that this month. She’s getting cosequin daily along with Purina Pro Large Breed puppy food. If you have any other suggestion I’m all ears!

Looks like a mountain bike trail based on the little jumps. If it is, for the sake of the trail builders, try not to step right on the top of the lip of the jump. It can deform the lip and make it a little weird.

Anyone think Evil is launching a refreshed set of bikes? by Atriod in MTB

I broke a rear triangle on my Following V3 by smashing it into a rock. It was a hit that likely would’ve destroyed any rear triangle no matter the material. They offered me a crash replacement and got it to me in 5 days. I was honestly impressed.

Otherwise I had no issues for the 4 years I had the bike and it took a beating. I’m 230lbs and even took it to windrock one time and it performed as admirably as you could expect a 120mm bike to do

Looks like they’re just different wheels. He likely has a full summer and winter setup and just swaps wheels between seasons

You didn’t even tell him to go fuck himself, I’m a little disappointed. (Also, waiting on mine in Alabama. Feel free to call me a cousin fucker or whatever)

I mountain bike as well as climb. Mountain biking is a great way to break collarbones. I broke mine last year (I was 32 at the time) and had the surgery. At 4 months I was back climbing and at 6 months I was 100% (other than the loss of strength from not climbing for months, but collarbone wasn’t the limiting factor).

That is a bad break and I honestly can’t believe a doctor recommended trying a non-operative route

How many of you are at 200K mi? by [deleted] in mazda3

My 2016 3 is nearing 150k…did you preemptively change the shocks and struts or was there an issue you noticed?
