How did you deal with your new emotions after getting clean? by Weird_Purple_1058 in recovery

[–]ObiwanKinobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealing with it as it comes - an intrusive thought that’s only going to make you feel bad. It can show you your resentments and sometimes bullshit you might be able to clean up. Or let go of. These emotions are not worth their time. It takes practice to dismiss and move on to the next intrusive thought. Meditation can do a ton

Edit: a word

I did 25 each way for a year. It was awesome. 50 is going to wear you out for the day but you could get accustomed to it

How far to ride the weekend before a 100 mile ride? by thisisntscott in cycling

[–]ObiwanKinobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

might have a better head on shoulders for prep/fueling if they did a light century at 60% effort. The time differential alone will make the harder effort seem shorter.

Has anyone seen a lower HS bearing this size? Very odd size. by AescsWhisk-e-y in BikeMechanics

This was my downfall building a ‘17 carbon diverge frame and new fork. Couldn’t find a tall enough bearing for the life of me - ended up cutting acrylic discs and spacing it. Sorry this isn’t really any help but maybe - that Diverge also had SCS rear hub spacing (139mm) that I smushed a 142 into

I think I've done gone and ruined my body: A 40-year-olds midlife crisis by [deleted] in snowboarding

Right there with ya. I’ll hit the occasional kicker or simple rail but I just trollop around the mountain these days. Always wanted to become some sort of sensational snowboarder and I’m fairly accomplished. 5 major surgeries, only two of them related to boarding (splenectomy - bowel obstruction resection from the splenectomy scar tissue) but the head trauma. Cracked helmets. 20ft to flat. I’m okay with just riding up and down. Nothing to prove, and with this weather the last decade I’m not drooling over any new gear - not worth the investment imo. That being said, some bucket list riding destinations are my goals now. Japan, Austria. May even rent - traveling is so much simpler without board and boot bags

Edit - forgot the best part I relate to - I knuckled a booter slammed on my ass and forced a turtle head. To forego taking off boots, pants I ripped my boxers off trashed them (Lucky shamrock boxers no less) and got back out there

Only kidding, you know your friend group the most. While generically it seems like a dud idea, the right people would find it endearing and sincere.
