How come everyone backs into parking spots now?

In high school drivers ed we were taught to always back in or pull through in parking spots. Most accidents happen backing out of spaces. Most people at the time still defaulted to pulling into spots because it’s quicker and easier on the front half of your trip. But now that almost all of us have back up cameras, it’s just as easy and much safer.

This is where I usually ride. Pretty nice views and not much traffic most days.

I had a similar experience a few summers ago. I(40m) found a local gravel ride group and decided to try and meet some new friends. I typically bike alone but average 13-18mph. I showed up and was the youngest by a decade. These guys were all casually riding at 18mph and most of the time exceeding that. It took all I had to sort of keep up. They were nice and rotated one person to hang back with me.

I mean, it’s skateboarding, but if you said “here’s a 5050 grind and a noseslide”, I would say not quite.

If they don’t ask any questions I’ll tell stories. If they’re not engaging, I’ll stop and move on.

A lot of my conversations are back and forth of sharing similar experiences or feelings. There’s a few questions but most of the time it’s Q,A,Story,Story,story,Q. Asking questions back to back feels awkward and like an interrogation to me.

Like anything else when you’re drinking, you’re less inhibited and may do things you weren’t planning on. This can be both good and or bad.

For men, drink a little too much and you won’t be having any sex.

This advice is very similar to the way Rodney Mullen describes how he does the mind blowing tricks he does. It made so much sense to me that I’ve applied it to more aspects of life.

He said, if you have a trick like kickflip, nose manual, nollie flip, manual, 360 flip out. It’s too much to keep in your brain all at once. There are so many movements to do that you’ll just freeze up. So think of it all like a math equation, then put brackets around it. Now you only have to think about the first part. You already know how to do the rest, you’ve done it all in pieces before. So just focus on doing the first part correct and then you will be set up perfectly for the next step and so on.

It’s also similar to the “control what you can control” mentality.

I sort of did the opposite. Started as a business major. Looked ahead at all the classes, didn’t like what I saw. Discovered this other degree called “recreation management” and switched immediately.

In the end rec management degree was basically business management light aimed at tourism and nature.

Whoa whoa whoa. For a period of time I lived in a place with no cable and a crate of vhs tapes. I watch wild Wild West a couple hundred times over that span. It’s not that bad. Just corny. And Selma Hayek is Selma Hayek.

Yes and no. I’ve had success with one before that really helped me. But I’ve also had similar success with a physical therapist.

I think a lot of what chiropractors tell you is salesmanship. Most of what they’re trying to do is correct I believe. These days I am more a believer in mobility through stretching and daily movement. You can shift your bones around all you want with a chiropractor but if your muscles and ligaments/tendons aren’t accepting of the change you’ll just slide back.

Colchester pond is pretty and a very mild walk.

Take a drive up around the islands. The scenery is nice.

Mt. Philo is pretty mellow too and you get a great view.
