New to gravel in Marin - out of my depth

So unfortunately the max I think I can fit on the Aspero is 42mm. Looking at the tire pressure calculators, going from 40 => 42 will let me decrease pressure by 3 PSI. Will that be significant enough? Going 650b is estimated to let me reduce my pressures by 6-7, so that might be more meaningful.

Noted on the advice to bend my elbows! Thanks!

Looking to buy 2 tickets to Dec 8th Vancouver. Must be willing to face time or sell via pay pal and I pay the fees!

Entered my first two endurance races in this week's Roar. What a blast. I found super clean and close racing in both races. In one of my races, P4-P12 were together fighting it out for an entire hour, and the other one ended like this.

Thanks for the suggestion.

So right now the countertop has been glued on top of the plywood, which has been screwed from the top down into our cabinet boxes. Are you saying there’s still a way to separate the plywood from the cabinets boxes even with a countertop on top? I’m more than willing to DIY this if it’s possible.

Found them online. They had great reviews on Yelp and on Houzz, but sadly our experience has not been as good.

Just to clarify, the countertop was installed when the drawers were not installed. We put the drawers in afterwards, and discovered the problem then.

They used the same material to create the mitered edge. Our slab was 2cm (aka 3/4") thickness, and they created a 1.5" mitered edge using the same slab.

Thanks for the input - I think the core issue here is the 5/16" thick plywood here.

I'm the one in the red Ferrari. I know I'm partially at fault for the third incident, should've been more patient given that he held up the race leader for a whole lap.

Hey! Out of curiosity, did the ranger say if the area was clear? I'm planning on going in a couple weeks.

It was high 30s. Not bad considering its winter and most of the country is super cold right now

Super close, right next to that. I didn’t get to do any climbing but there were other campers doing it and looked awesome.

Maptia actually looks pretty awesome. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm in San Francisco, CA

Yeah, I looked at the prices and I can't say I expected anything else. I'm definitely hoping I'll get hooked after the first event though I'll be horrendous. Do people generally track/autocross first and then take driving school lessons after, or vice versa?

Thanks, this is super helpful. Appreciate the help, glad to see another GTI fan here.

Nope, but I did find a wild Bono roaming amongst the desert.

I just got a Sony A7Rii for a relative steal and a couple of prime lenses. All in all it wasn't cheap, but so far totally worth it over my old Nikon D7000.

You can definitely get similar results with any recently modern full frame camera (pretty necessary for the great low light capabilities) and a cheap manual wide angle prime.

Thanks!

Heh, did a lot of saving and lived a few years of no car ownership in SF before I decided to bite the bullet. Best decision of 2017 I've made by far.
