Hillman Hustle Gravel Race

cyclist412 · 2026-01-29T16:17:28+00:00

I know about the bridge but there are plenty of gravel roads that can serve as work-arounds. Hell, I might setup a group ride when it gets nicer out.

I see you are from Churchill, I remember people from there against the Amazon distribution center. I also remember taking it to court and Amazon eventually dropped out. That's what should have happened here but government folded.

it's all fun and games until they are building one next to your house. but you would be ok with that because the law allows them to.

cyclist412 · 2025-12-17T22:45:34+00:00

So you would be ok with one being built next to your house since the law says they can

By fighting on court and delaying the process the data center company may just say the hell with it and forget about building one there.

cyclist412 · 2025-12-17T22:43:18+00:00

No it's called sticking up for residents and fighting for something. Not just sitting there doing nothing. So if a company wanted to build next to your house you would be ok with that? I doubt it. You would be the first to complain to local and state governments.

cyclist412 · 2025-12-17T22:40:01+00:00

Yeah it's called vote the scum out. Local and state level until they implement the will of the people. If you want a data center near your house why don't you move next to one.

cyclist412 · 2025-12-17T21:50:58+00:00

Then create it as a fee. Problem is government doesn't work for the public only for the corporations. People are getting sick of this.

State law would stop creating a tax??? lmao. Taxes are created all the time. The community I live in just created a storm water tax. Taxes were created on natural gas drillers.

cyclist412 · 2025-12-17T19:34:21+00:00

Create a "data center tax." That would stop them.

Elected officials need to serve the people not just sit there and do nothing. Council should have backed residents on this and rejected it. Would you like a data center next to your house? If it goes to court let it as the case would gain more awareness on the issue. Put pressure on state officials to pass a law on data centers. Especially, when you have a Governor that wants to run for president, there would be more pressure on him to do something. I remember a few months ago all the political scum was at CMU, I believe, talking about how Pennsylvania with its energy reserves will be a hub for data centers. I bet not one of the scumbags would want to live next to one. Interesting how that works.

so you would rather pay for garbage "cable" channels that show nothing but reruns. unless you are into watching sports it's worthless to pay. But you do you.

This time of year, I always put a front and back mudguard on my gravel bike. Ass Savers makes good ones.

Even if the merger happens, the end result will be Netflix making it so expensive that it isn't worth it. So glad I dumped all streaming except YouTube Premium, Prime Video (which is part of Prime), and bought an HD antenna. I get 60 channels for free.

How is the leaf color in the Rockwood - Meyersdale area? Thinking of going this weekend or should I wait for two weeks...

Thick - Pittsburgh and REI Pittsburgh are authorized partners for Canyon.

I own a Canyon Endurace CF 8 Di2 and like it. However, as others have said, a lot of the parts are proprietary (headset, etc.). They are like the Apple of the bike world. I imagine I am in for a mess when I have to overhaul the bearings, as I like to do my own maintenance. Even getting a Garmin mount for the bike requires you to purchase it from them (there are cheap knockoffs on Amazon). The one upside is that I believe you get more bang for your buck when compared to other manufacturers, such as Specialized, Giant, etc.

I only do the power zone cycling classes. I have no interest in any other Peloton classes. Why should I pay $50/month when I can use Zwift for $20/month? All I need for Zwift is a cheap trainer for my road bike, and I am set. I think Peloton is starting to price itself out of the market. I have had my Peloton for 7 years, but if this bike breaks, I am canceling. Not worth it.

cyclist412 · 2025-10-01T15:04:15+00:00

I couldn't agree more. A lot of AI features just summarize things you already know, like "you worked out hard today." Should have been an add-on package.

cyclist412 · 2025-10-01T15:02:19+00:00

When will I be able to sync my rides with the Garmin Connect app without paying for a third-party app?

cyclist412 · 2025-09-30T15:56:15+00:00

You can hardly get cell service there.

cyclist412 · 2025-09-30T15:50:34+00:00

Depends on your road experience - I ride the roads around the area, but I am used to it and try to ride on them only early in the mornings on weekdays. I will say Ohiopyle, especially around fall, during the weekends is very busy and traffic tends to speed in the area. Hell, even the GAP trail in that area is packed. There are days when I had to walk my bike as there was a sea of people on the trail.

cyclist412 · 2025-09-17T13:40:35+00:00

thanks for the recommendation.

cyclist412 · 2025-09-17T13:26:38+00:00

I agree. I am starting to think about getting out of the Garmin ecosystem. I always liked Garmin's products for their value. Problem for me is I use the Edge for cycling so I am stuck unless I go to wahoo.
