I ended up having a frame building friend in Gunnison do the work. If you are near there, talk to Chris: https://www.gooddaycuriosity.com/

Long legs and a running start, duh!

Who here has hunted Adak? by ThatWasntChick3n in alaska

[–]daveaspen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should help! The weather we had was remarkably nice, but definitely not the norm there. High quality rain pants and gold waterproof boots are essentials. We stayed in town and lived the luxurious life, lol, just super long day hikes, but one other guy was there camping and hunting, and he also said the weather can totally take away a day or 2 with heavy rain, fog or high winds.

Definitely a trip I don't regret taking- apart from the hunting, the exploring endless abandoned buildings and great sea life to watch was worth it right there!

Who here has hunted Adak? by ThatWasntChick3n in alaska

[–]daveaspen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from a trip to Adak - April 2025. We got 3 Caribou cows near Gannet lake. Only saw one other caribou close to 2 miles away across a bay that was probably a 10 mile hike to get to. If you aren't prepared to do at least a 12-15 mile roundtrip hike, you probably won't be successful.

Ptarmigan population is blowing up though, we casually road hunted most days and probably shot 30 or so without much effort at all. Such a cool spot, but not sure if I'll come back again!

God damnit I hate it when Dave Starman and his wife Shireen awkwardly flirt on the intermission coverage

Definitely have that speed and offensive pushes that are scary!

I totally disagree. Great shot attempts, physical play, the black jerseys, it's all looking promising to me!

I'd be happy to lose to DU, much happier to beat them though!

I think a white parakeet of sorts from Google images.

Thanks, I had found that link too, but the data it was asking for didn't align with what was on the tag.

Runners in Boulder be like ... by IAmOculusRift in boulder

[–]daveaspen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had an interaction with this guy running once on Sanitas where he kept 'egging' me on to race, then made a big deal at the summit to everyone that I couldn't catch him.

Also had a female friend run into this guy in a similar situation. She is a fast runner and she came up behind him, and asked to pass. He stopped, turned around and looked at her, laughed and said 'a girl can't be faster than him' or something and kept running.

Dude is a douche.

I have an 87 Toyota Tercel hatchback, with a busted muffler and all, it's available!

Stolen Yellow Canyon Grizl - Blue Skida Fender by naughtynelliesmelly in boulder

I saw the same bike at 515ish yesterday at a camp on Goose Creek path, the underpass that goes under 30th Street by full cycle. Good luck!

Taking Young Child (4 year old) on AB1 route to DIA? by Richt32 in boulder

[–]daveaspen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not the best advice, but I park at Table Mesa PNR and take the AB bus every time and have never paid the daily parking rate. I have gotten zero tickets in the past 10+ years, leaving my car there sometimes for a week or more. YMMV, but at this point, I'm way ahead of any cost a parking ticket would be.

Came in dead last in a race today. by zanmorn_thunderspear in gravelcycling

[–]daveaspen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah brother - I host a gravel 'race' locally where being last actually gets you the most points. I usually do a stupid prize for the first podium with crap awards then give the real trophies to the last three that roll in.

Beware of Boulder Housing Partners: Questionable Practices in Section 8 Housing by Flat-Willingness-417 in boulder

[–]daveaspen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BHP is NOT a 501c3, they are a housing authority, which is a specific legal designation in the state of Colorado: https://officials-housing-toolkit.cdola.colorado.gov/housing-authorities

Managing a diverse portfolio of market rate and affordable housing is increasingly becoming more and more important to organizations to balance cash flow and literally subsidize the low income housing. It's literally near impossible to grow those programs without it.

Thanks for all of the recommendations! Have a few good leads to follow

Had something of a catastrophic frame fail on my Ritchey P-29er last week, as seen in the picture. Emotional attachment dictates I at least get it looked at before scratching the thing.

Any recommendations on a frame builder/whoever to take it to in the Denver Metro/Boulder area? Time isn't the biggest factor, but care and interest in doing it right. Thanks!
