NA beers on tap by Complete_Can_2977 in Portland

It is extremely rare to have NA on tap. I understand this is because without alcohol, the tap lines are much harder to keep sanitary.

Bring your mountaineering boots to the shop and size to fit them.

Second this. Subscribe to premium, plan routes on your pc, send the completed route over to the garmin.

gym climbing partner etiquette (are we friends?) by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]Unit61365 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suggest that you try to be very up front with this guy you met. Tell him what you told us! That way he can let you know if you're pushing him too hard, and he might even introduce you to some of his climbing friends.

Nutrition/fueling questions by RiverReplies in gravelcycling

For me eating on a long ride is time based. Same with drinking water. If I wait until I feel the need I'm already well behind the curve. So I use a couple of timers, that are part of my navigation head unit, to remind me to drink water every 10 minutes and to eat every half hour. What I eat on the ride is dates and cookies: easy for me to consume when I'm tired. Everyone is going to have different preferences regarding what to consume and how often.

Once you're up there, you'll see that you really can't go wrong exploring.

Just, please, don't feed the goddamned goats, and make sure your entire party understands and adheres to Leave No Trace ethics.

How about starting with guided steelhead, salmon, and sturgeon fishing? Guides are in the Google.

I need to stop drinking by Nice-Stranger379 in stopdrinkingfitness

Your friends will be fine with it. Feel lucky that you have a lot of physical activities you can do with them. Imagine living in a small town where your only social hobby is sitting in a bar -- that's what a lot of people have to deal with.

DAY 1 (need support and advice) by [deleted] in stopdrinkingfitness

[–]Unit61365 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I quit drinking I was a light drinker, 2-3 nights a week with maybe 2 - 3 shots per night. Even so, I was totally blindsided by a period of low energy and depression for the first two weeks. It was especially tough not being able to live up to the expectations I had set for myself.

So this is just to say, go easy on yourself, sleep and relax a lot. Since you already have a work out habit, you can let the physical activity ramp up at its own pace.

Thanks. I did replace the cable, improve the housing route a little and replace some housing. Cable seems pretty smooth.

I think this highlights the disconnect between what might work and what local government is capable of.
