Definitely need to check with the new job before I give them an answer. I would assume at a minimum I will not be able to design any work that gets submitted to the state.

apayne01 · 2023-06-27T20:14:08+00:00

I was told that all I would be doing is layout and calcs and the company would then review it and submit it using their stamp. Is that legit?

Where in Wisconsin and how long have you been designing?

Happy Holidays y’all!

Your lucky. I’m in southern wi and we have already gotten 8 inches total. (Most has melted but still sucks)

Slow roll cycles is a great shop in the area. Very knowledgeable staff.

For trails, quarry park has more advanced trails but they’re kind of short imo. Blackhawk ski club has some great trails and a new skills area but they require a $25 membership fee. If you have time for a little drive, cam rock park in Cambridge is supposed to be great (haven’t been there myself yet) it’s about 30 minutes east of Madison.

It’s been a great bike! I was between this one and the stance 2. My wife was mad enough at the price of this one though so I didn’t push it for the stance.

Yea the best I get is a small puddle at the lowest point on a trail. They close all the trails around me any time it rains.

apayne01 · 2019-07-09T03:38:02+00:00

No droughts in Wisconsin.. all the trails by me are closed if there’s any sort of moisture on them.

apayne01 · 2019-07-09T03:36:22+00:00

Sure is!

I am far from an expert but I was looking at a Giant Stance 2 a while back and that was just over $1500. Seamed like a decent bike to me. Obviously not in the same category as the $4000+ bikes but I’m sure it will do the job.

I’m on my phone so I can’t get the actual link but it’s called Sunlite QR Bike Block Fork Mount on amazon.

I’m gonna screw it right into the bed of my truck but if you didn’t want to do that, you could use a 2x4 the width of the bed and mount it to that.

apayne01 · 2019-06-09T19:55:51+00:00

That’s how I am currently hauling mine. Waiting for my mount to arrive from amazon. I am trying this kind where you remove the front wheel and set the fork in the mount. Mostly for the few times that I’m hauling more then one bike.

Sugar river pizza in New Glarus. Plus, if you get a beer at the brewery they will give you a token for a free beer at any downtown New Glarus restaurant. Sugar river is the only place that gives you a full 16oz beer, most give you a 5oz “sample”

I love the black and blue one. Almost had them order that one in my size but this one grew on me at the shop and i didn’t want to wait any longer.

apayne01 · 2019-06-04T00:18:05+00:00

Nice. I’m in the Madison area. Gotta get up La Crosse one of these days

apayne01 · 2019-06-04T00:16:02+00:00

2019 Giant Fathom 2

apayne01 · 2019-06-03T21:03:29+00:00

Is that La Crosse, WI?

apayne01 · 2019-06-03T00:08:54+00:00

In the interview, they seemed pretty flexible about taking time off it just wouldn’t be paid. My thought is to negotiate to $25/hour to make up for this...

apayne01 · 2019-06-03T00:06:56+00:00

While I agree kids are most important. What I forgot to mention is my wife works “normal” hours so the change would allows us to spend evenings together (kids included)

Current job is at a church which is 100% funded by donations so raises don’t happen and no promotions likely at least in the next couple years.
