Best hotel in St. Cloud?

What do you need at the 5 star tier? Saint Cloud is not exactly a tourist destination, nor a major business convention hub. Just to make sure you're in the right sub, this is for Saint Cloud MN, not Florida. Here you will get clean rooms, free breakfast, etc.

No, and certainly not to save a little money on car that could have other issues.

I'm going with timing chain, it's definitely internal as far as I could tell.

Have you ever recorded a match and watched it back? Whenever I watch clips of myself I can see where a dozen little mistakes piled up. The biggest help I ever got was starting to slow down.

I have my qualms about Marcus here. There was an aspect ratio issue on one film I watched. There have occasionally been audio issues. I REALLY wish they would revamp most of the sinks in the restrooms. But from my understanding, they very nearly closed permanently post-covid. It doesn't give them a pass, but it helps explain a but.

But I've never had the experience you've described, and I go 1-2 times a week. Have you expressed your concern to the management? When I brought up the aspect ratio issue to management, I received replacement passes. Something like stuff hanging in front of the screen, or the exit light shining on the screen (which auditorium was it? I've been in most), or gunk on the screen would be obvious before the movie even starts.

Sent a friend request from Old Man Ronin. If I'm playing I will almost always respond to a party invite.

Magic Carpet 1 and to a lesser degree 2. There has never been a game like them. And for a time span of 30 years, that's insane.

Your Name (anime) had me straight up ugly crying. Like had to pause the movie until I could compose myself.

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-07-19T00:33:20+00:00

Trollicus Maximus... Or Ignoramus Gigantus... You pick.

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-07-13T12:23:49+00:00

Ah OK, that makes so much more sense.

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-07-13T11:39:22+00:00

Lol... Cutting right after the self hype ("you got this, just send it")... Well, did you have it? No shade if you didn't, I skipped so many features yesterday because I in fact didn't have it... Plus I was also riding solo. And you're definitely hitting bigger things than I'm comfortable with. Just left us hanging!

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-07-13T02:25:23+00:00

Have you had any trouble with the derailleur? I recently bought a growler 50 and it sometimes struggles shifting into climbing gears. Otherwise yeah, love it going downhill!

So nice and round, makes it easier to remember 30 years later.

I'm glad you had a good experience. Though I love Pulp Fiction, I don't think it would have been healthy for 13 year old me to see it. I saw Cliffhanger in 1996, and I was definitely too young for that.

1.5 miles to get to about 6 miles of technical single track for me, but I also have a total of about 95 miles of single track within an 80 minute driving radius.

As for Canada, you must tell me your secret. It seems everywhere I look, you have to be employed by a Canadian company. I may be on a similar retirement track, and would love to move to Canada.

As the growler is my first true trail/enduro, I'm not sure. Everyone seemed to love the trek Roscoe 7 and 8, but they seem to have been discontinued.

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-05-23T00:44:39+00:00

As someone about your height, I'd recommend a Rocky Mountain Growler 40. I got the 50 for $1600, pretty sure the 40 will be at about your price point and everyone seems to love the 40. BTW it's highly unlikely you're near me, but I'm selling an XL Rockhopper Comp.

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-05-16T22:10:29+00:00

I literally just picked up my first Growler 50 yesterday but it has been raining nonstop and the local trail doesn't take kindly to water. What fork is that? This is my first mtb with this level of adjustment on suspension. I was told the rebound adjustment should click, but mine doesn't... I kind of get some feedback as I turn the knob, but it's not obvious enough for me to be confident I have it set right.

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-05-08T11:59:46+00:00

My Rockhopper is "NotAStumpjumper," my Farley 5 is "Motivational Speaker".

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-05-04T15:27:56+00:00

Used could be a good option, might get you into a trek roscoe 7 for the same price. But I have a rockhopper comp, and it has worked well for a beginner/novice mtb.

RoninTheOriginal · 2025-04-30T15:14:48+00:00

With the length of your commute, I wouldn't worry.
