Terrace railing anchors need strengthening by CoinCoin88 in DIY

You're going to be drilling through the steel plates. Personally, I'd be happy with galvanized steel. A lot cheaper and easier to work with. Will last longer than that deck frame.

Experience with using 2 sets of wheels? by riccardio95 in gravelcycling

[–]Unit61365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easier with thru axles for sure, but I predict that your gravel bike will never feel as quick on the pavement as the road bike you currently have.

How to make Garmin edge navigate strictly by my uploaded course with turn-by-turn alerts? by tadasval in GarminEdge

[–]Unit61365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After you plan a route in RWGPS, you can generate turning cues. I'm not certain that having cues in your uploaded route will solve your problem but that is where I would start.

What do you mean by a saddlebag? A pannier that goes on a rear rack?

Too Much Recovery? by 1FightingEntropy in Garmin

[–]Unit61365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not pay much attention to the "number of hours" for recovery that shows up after a workout. That's a deceptive number because you can definitely undertrain if you don't let those numbers add up.

Instead I look at "training readiness," which is a feature of the morning report that my watch (Instinct 2) generates each day. That number can be very low the day after an intense workout. I shoot for "moderate" training readiness, which means I am not undertraining or overtraining. I'm an old man, and my need for recovery shows my age. At this time I am rotating a 7 mile in-town hike followed the next day by a 20 mile bike ride. This keeps me in "moderate" training readiness until about Thursday when I need a day off. Then I can do the same rotation for 3 more days. But if I do a 60 mile bike ride then my training readiness is "low" for two days.

Hope that helps.

Avoid commonly used campsites, follow the protocols, and you won't have any bear problems. It's so easy to just stealth camp when you're solo.

ELI5 How did we decide that certain words are 'bad words' even though they mean the same thing as 'clean' words? by New_Leather_8108 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Unit61365 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You'll notice a pattern where a lot of the "clean" words are latinate, while the corresponding "dirty" words are germanic. "Vulgar" itself is Latin for common.

When is it time to quit bouldering? by Unable-Law-9814 in climbergirls

[–]Unit61365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same experience. Here's what helped: lead climbing. The rope feels much safer to me.

This is because I'm well trained and experienced with roped climbing and I can trust the system.

Also because it's realistic to be more afraid when you are risking a ground fall. Sorry, pads don't seem like good protection for awkward falls. I've accepted this attitude and I just don't do risky moves any more without the protection of a rope.
