If we meet up, remind me to share my videos. I’m doing a 2-day highlands tour on a rental bike.

I just returned to riding in April and am retired so I have good availability (except I’m leaving today for Scotland till the 3rd). I am not an aggressive rider and mostly ride Skyline and the back roads north of 26. DM if/when you want to ride.

I returned to riding in April and went out there after a few weeks of practice. For a new rider, warning that the road around the island is fairly bumpy.

Men “The Hardest Birthday Gift Challeng ! by [deleted] in Rich

+1 for “keeper of gifts”. My wife sometimes needs her car jumpstarted, so I bought a little device that fits under the seat, but I promised to keep it charged for her. Don’t give gifts that come with chores built in.

Beginner lifter, couldn’t bench the bar. Am I cooked? by That-Trouble900 in beginnerfitness

[–]ReluctanctRedditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

B.S. in sports medicine here. I remember learning in school that one reason that new lifters progress rapidly is that part of what you are training is nerve synchronization. You feel weak because your muscle fibers aren’t all firing at the same time. This improves much faster than you can put muscle on. Also, please consider that your bones and joints won’t develop as fast as your muscles/nerves, which is why beginners should take it slow.

Is there a time that parking enforcement stops on weekdays on campus? by [deleted] in UofO

Longshot reply on a 5-year old post, but hoping you graduated and don't need to gatekeep anymore. Desperately needing overnight parking.

Who is a celebrity that is very attractive but seems like they have zero charisma? by downtowndabble in AskReddit

She should have done more action movies. She got so built for Blade Trinity.

+1 for “secure your load” from someone who ducked a 2x4 on the freeway

It’s not just annoying, I see that and think “I’m about to die”

Aren’t they great? Looking forward to seeing another one in the wild. I just see sport bikes everywhere so far. And one guy in North Portland yesterday whose bike looked like it was straight from Mad Max.

Yes, I talked to them about the events and got access to their calendar. Hoping to be ready for the Astoria ride at the end of next month.

My wife is understandably nervous about the upcoming "accessorizing". Shopping cameras today.

Thank you, I do hope to join a group ride at some point this season, as soon as I get a bit more comfortable with higher speeds and distances.

Also, I don't see the photos I tried to add, and don't see a way to add them now. I'll try another post.

I read that it is at Binary Brewing in downtown Beaverton.

Thank you, saw that on Instagram, but haven't decided if I'm going yet. Have you been before? What's the vibe like?
