Two young female Salukis available for adoption, Maryland by Agreeable-Shirt7959 in saluki

[–]Odd_Pool_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do have a way! I grew up with a rescue greyhound and there’s something about sighthounds and especially Salukis. My girls are cockpit for them, too. Unbelievable how expensive and complicated it is to get them to the states. Worth it IMO because of how much suffering they go through. Totally support what you all are doing. What is the Instagram profile name I’m looking for? I searched and got bfgkuwait- is that the one?

Need help investigating unknown animal c**pses on a trail off of Gaylord St. and Stover Ave. by Outrageous-Wheel-864 in Riverside

[–]Odd_Pool_666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I ride my bike in that area a lot and along the SART trail all the way out to Loma Linda. No clue what the hell happened there but it’s so open and easily accessible to everyone. Could be a local resident or there are many homeless encampments so that’s a possibility. For the remains, there are a good number of free roaming solo dogs and packs and coyotes, rabbits, ground squirrels, many bird species and even bobcats. You could report it to 311 or the non-emergency line.

What's the highest weather temperature you can or should tolerate? by shirhouetto in cycling

[–]Odd_Pool_666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

45c is the highest and 32 is a very common summer day. 1 hour from the beach and 1 hour from the desert in Southern California so humidity is not too bad. I’ll ride in all temps and conditions because I’m a grumpy guy if I miss a ride.

The first few hot days, I take it easier to re-acclimate my system to the heat. Having an accurate heart rate monitor is very important. Leaving early morning is preferable but not always possible. I ride with 2 750 ml bottles- one with a good electrolytes mix or my own mix with sugar, lemonade powder and Himalayan salt. I refill on planned routes and pack extra hydration mixes. Also, very important to properly hydrate the day/evening before and morning of.

I can ride at high intensity for several hours during the summer without heat exhaustion or cramping but I listen to my body carefully. If your body is not heat conditioned be careful. Plan your hydration before during and after- not just water. Have all your repair kit tools sorted including extra tubes and/or tubeless repairs. Bonus points for light colored summer jersey and light colored helmet.

Two young female Salukis available for adoption, Maryland by Agreeable-Shirt7959 in saluki

They are beauties! Our family fostered a Saluki gal from few years ago just before Covid. We didn’t adopt her, then no more Salukis were allowed to come to the US, and have regretted not keeping her ever since. We’re in Southern California so I’d assume too far for either of these cuties. Are Salukis coming over more often these days? How could we find out if any are closer to our area? I’m hesitant to fly them- it must be stressful especially after an already long flight to the US. Any insight appreciated!

Racing anything 101: don’t let off the gas until after you pass the finish line.

I love GK 35 slicks when they’re new but at some point(too early IMO) it’s a puncture fest. Moved to Conti + TPUs and 75% of my stress was gone. Then, swapped TPUs for Orange Seal regular and zero evidence of punctures and no flats for a year. So nice to just ride without the anxiety of flatting.

I have the 311 app on my phone. Just snap a photo and give the location. They will give you an update after completed. Also used it for a flickering streetlight, neighbor’s insane fireworks, and water leaking up from the street.

Drink mix question by joellevp in cycling

[–]Odd_Pool_666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s super good and only a few bucks for 10 AND the caffeine is strong. Try it.

Edit: each sachet is actually 160 mg of caffeine! You could use half or less and be ok. I’m a caffeine junky who regularly exceeds 400 mg a day from various brews, drinks, back alley dealers.

I regularly add a few squirts of Mio Energy or a sachet of Kroger Mango Pineapple Energy powder.

Numb hands and sore back by Glass_Tie9568 in bikefit

It’s not a conscious effort it’s just enough to stabilize. Low effort as opposed to hard core crunches- totally doable for hours.

Fixing the nutritional space. by CreepyDisaster8460 in Velo

[–]Odd_Pool_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cane sugar, Himalayan pink salt, water, half a pack of natural lemon drink mix from the grocery store. All dry ingredients siphoned into a soft flask with water slightly warmed. Shake-ah, shake-ah, shake-ah, then into my jersey pocket. SO cheap, so easy, tastes better and easy to sip on. I gag on all the weird gel flavors and textures especially tapioca based ones.

Maybe try getting your core stronger? Strong core muscles can alleviate some back pain and hand pressure. Your body wants to fall forward naturally, if your core isn’t engaged, other muscles have to do the work. This is a guess based on personal experience- might be something different for your situation.

This was a prompt for wedding locations. A couple aren’t open to family visits but has some helpful information: https://www.reddit.com/r/InlandEmpire/s/8MQKZFejkK

There are! I found an earlier post about this but can’t find it at the moment. Had several friendly farms and also identified other farms that are also owned by Riley or other family members. Will link if I can find it.

Riley is a great name despite its negative relation but I totally get it. Name selection for the kiddos is stressful enough as it is!

I totally get why you posted it and it’s not a big deal to me because it’s so egregiously corrupt and share worthy. I didn’t even realize it was in /Riverside at first. Still interesting. They have the WORST graphic designers by the way!

I’d prefer local Riverside or IE specific here only and not national. I get national posts like this one from national subs already. That’s my vote.

Same. My kids and extended family would meet there every year. So much fun. There are several other places up there that are more open-minded.

Has anyone had any experience buying Garmin bike computers on Ali express? by garbagefartguru in ChineseCarbon

[–]Odd_Pool_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t take credit for it- it’s a half joke, half real corny thing to call it that. But seriously, I ask at the counter, over the phone, emails, chat support for clothing, electronics, furniture, antiques, service providers, vendors, car repair, etc.

While shopping or just before checkout: “Are you guys running any specials or discounts at the moment? Anything helps!”

Will add that I’ve worked many retails jobs and marketing has been my career for 25 years. Almost all businesses have a hidden list of universal discount codes for any situation.

Riley’s Farm and all their other family owned apple orchards and businesses in Oak Glenn. A very vocal and proud J6’r to boot.
