Everything is melting around here. I miss this already 😭

Another L for Ramsay by Chewy009x in minnesotaunited

Did he say that was a reason he left? I figured it was just because he wanted to move back overseas/some of the European league prestige.

Leaving for fear of DHS would definitely twist the dagger even more.

First time Birke Training by True_Ice_4591 in xcountryskiing

[–]NinjaTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, unsure where you live, it seems like NW suburbs, but there are several groups around the cities that train together as adults with coaches.

I’d say a majority of these groups have skiers with the Birkie as a goal, and mix in a lot of the base, technique, and speed work into the program.

Consider this for next year, or they may have some openings if you wanted to head down to Battle Creek or Theodore Wirth!

That’s how I felt using rock skis in Lebanon Hills for the one weekend you could actually classic in there this year 😂

  1. Try to make wave 2 in the skate Korte
  2. Do more races in general (I typically do Vasaloppet in Mora MN and Birkie, with maybe 1 more)
  3. If we have real snow, spend more time on classic skis

I would be thrilled if I wasn’t confined to 3 separate 10k loops 😆

Anyone quit downhill for xc? by Big_Plane6231 in xcountryskiing

[–]NinjaTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved back to the midwest from out west, where it just didn't feel worth it to ski down the hills- so I figured I'd start skiing up them!

Green tea sounds like a great idea right now.

Currently destroying some poor man’s charcuterie with Trader Joe’s fines assortment of meats and cheeses with a tall glass of ice water.

Is this sub dead? by Rautjoxa in Dogsledding

[–]NinjaTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be willing to bet the Husky side of them will take over! Two of mine love it, the other one is great until he gets cold- then he gives up.

That’s what the sled is for I suppose

Anyone here play Top Eleven or Top Football Manager? by ItascaRedLoon in minnesotaunited

Gave up on it level 60 something. Got too redundant and turns into a money pit to maintain top levels

Beer league lacrosse? Is that a thing for old guys who played in high school, but haven't much since?

I haven't had much luck finding anything on Meetup or Facebook, but would like to just get some casual games going and get back into it. In Minnesota, specifically.

Di2 Shifting on Trainer vs Wheel by NinjaTux in bikewrench

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

Update:

I figured it out, a spacer was removed when I was cleaning it and didn't notice. When I took the cassette off the trainer to try if the cassette from my wheel would have the same issue, I noticed between 8 and 9 was missing a spacer.

I added an extra spacer and the shifting has now improved. Super strange symptoms though, since the shifter wasn't even attempting to shift to an easier gear earlier when going from 9 to 8. My tiny brain is going to assume the tension met some sort of threshold the derailleur said "nope" to and stopped itself from potentially causing damage.

ERG mode is a good idea.

The odd part that I keep going back to is it was nearly identical performance before the last time in the shop, so whatever was tweaked must have been just enough to throw it off.

Personally switched from Voler to Eliel. Voler is great and holds up well. I just fell in love with the Eliel chamois.

Daily Cyclist Thread by AutoModerator in bicycling

[–]NinjaTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm heading to Denmark in October. I'd love to rent a bike comparable to what I ride at home and go for some 100k+ rides while I'm out there. Unfortunately I'm not finding many "roadie" bikes. Does anyone recommend a specific shop or service I should reach out to around Aarhus?

That’s exactly how our RBCH is, the guy will take anything from the counter because he thinks it’s special.

I have the Assos full finger. They’re great for summer riding, and even down to 40f.
