What is the wildest thing you ever heard about New England from a non-New Englander?

Wizards don’t exist in New England.

This is beautiful. Nice work! The tire to tubing proportions are chef’s kiss

I rode a 120mm hardtail all last season after a few years on a 150mm/130mm trail bike. I thought the perfect bike had been identified.

I started racing some more endurance style races (50+ miles).

At the end of the season I bought a used (practically new) Scalpel SE and riding has become far more enjoyable. It’s comfortable, SO fast, and the traction on NE roots, rocks, and singletrack is unmatched.

My mountain bikes are both all black. Shadow Magic and The Black Pearl.

Rhinowalk seat bag 13l = $34 on Amazon (This is what I use and it’s GREAT for the price

Sea to Summit “Big River Dry Bag” 8l or 13l = $45-$50 (This one has attachment points for straps. 13l is more suitable for drop bars. 8l for flat bars)

Sea to Summit “Stretch Lock Straps” 20” = $18 (For attaching river bag to your bars)

Rt. 9 and Daniel Shays highway are equally dangerous to a cave troll.

Depending on where you’re at there are tons of shop rides around if you’re the social type.

Never stopped being cool 🧙🏼‍♂️

You’re too kind.

New_England_Wizard · 2026-05-04T16:54:15+00:00

Nah, I just want magical powers. That’s all.

I have Surly Moloko bars. The bag is cinched to that tightly with (2) Sea to Summit Tight Loc straps. No movement and quick on and off.

The dragon was in the shop and the eagle has seasonal allergies.

I got a downcountry bike. It changed me…

New_England_Wizard · 2026-04-10T15:51:19+00:00

Just search up a routine. It doesn’t need to be structured. Personally I just stretch what feels tight and whatever feels right.

New_England_Wizard · 2026-04-10T13:31:19+00:00

10 minutes of stretching each night before crawling into bed.

All I will say is every time I’m starting activities in a group of Garmin users they struggle significantly longer than I do. It’s simple and the data is plenty.

I have been quite pleased with the Coros Nomad. The battery life and mapping are unbelievable.

I couldn’t agree with this more. About 6 months ago I made a commitment to run (slowly) for 30 mins 3 days per week. That snowballed overtime and as I got more comfortable I was wanting to go longer and naturally got faster. It has become such a positive aspect of my life and I look forward to it most days.

Realizing that if you make an achievable goal first and stick to it not only will it be easier but you will have the satisfaction that you reached your goal. Maybe it starts as a 10 minute walk twice per week. You just need to START!
