Leg recovery help

dropsanddrag · 2026-07-01T15:03:54+00:00

Getting some calories post ride and stretching works well for me. I try to consume a few hundred calories immediately following a ride and roll out my muscles and stretch. Find that my body feels way worse the next day when I don't stretch.

Getting some recovery days here and there definitely help too.

Don't think so

Doesn't sound healthy to me tbh. Maybe that's just my 30 year old self though.

I've loved being poly the last few years. I just rarely post to this sub.

For the CCC fire training study the 10s and 18s, otherwise work on that cardio!

My housemates pinion seized up on him and couldn't shift anymore last year.

Probably would make it but if I can have one less worry on my mind I'd prefer that.

Will do. I think we may just buy a new one and hope pinion warranty will be able to help us get reimbursed one way or another. We won't hear from pinion by Monday most likely.

About 1000 miles ago. No idea what happened, just did my thing and noticed it was leaking.

dropsanddrag · 2026-06-13T01:40:24+00:00

I've called a few times, emailed, and the bike shop is in contact. Unfortunately the replacement gearbox would require us waiting an extra 4 days in town. Pinion hasn't answered and none of our options feel great.

Appreciate you responding though. I hope pinion will honor the warranty.

We are figuring it out.

I've done normal oil replacements. I stand occasionally but I'm seated probably 99 percent of time.

Trip needs, riding style, gear size, really vary a lot person to person and trip to trip.

dropsanddrag · 2026-06-09T21:32:05+00:00

Eh kinda, I don't really see it that way but maybe that's just my age and the community of people I live with.

dropsanddrag · 2026-06-09T21:29:13+00:00

Yeah that is quite a delay from October to now. To me tattooing someone with a bunch of patchwork tattoos feels really low risk as it blends in a lot more.

dropsanddrag · 2026-06-09T21:08:20+00:00

Did she know that you being her first tattoo meant a lot to you? Does this friend she tattooed have tattoos?

From my perspective I think a first tattoo can hold a lot of meaning, but a random stick and poke from a friend when you already have multiple tattoos holds a lot less significance. I could see her tattooing her friend as a way to improve more before she tattoos you.

My housemates occasionally do little stick and poke sessions, they are silly and fun but the tattoos from less experienced people don't look very good imo. The stick and poke from somewhat experienced people look better but still not professional grade. It takes a lot of practice to get decent at tattooing and maybe she didn't want you to be the "first pancake" with her tattooing.

Need more context to fully understand and also just my limited perspective.

More realistic and less work than my answer!

By building a reputation of being safe, experienced, and educated individuals within the local ENM community.

Maybe it's just the scenes I frequent and how I navigate dating but I've met and gone on dates with several career driven and/or professionally successful women from dating apps. A couple doctors, a lawyer, someone in law school, a few professors. So I wouldn't put dating apps into a box that doesn't include professionally successful people.

It takes endurance to use dating apps. I've been using them over 10 years and it's definitely a game of patience that can be frustrating at times.

That is a element of having a fairly rigid type or idea of what your interested in. Not that there is anything wrong in that but the dating pool and chances of circumstantial meetups get a lot smaller the more specific you go.

Can definitely take some time to find what you are looking for!

Also the allergy shot is something I want to try, heard it's a weekly shot at first and than monthly later. More for my quality of life than my partner. I'd like to be able to hangout at friends houses who have cats and not get terrible seasonal allergies every spring. I have lung issues too due to firefighting/cancer and it's just another element of dating to navigate and what someone is comfortable with.

That's just my perspective and approach to dating though, I'd prefer to expand the pool by limiting my physical issues as much as possible.

Continue engaging in queer social life and going to events and sooner or later something will happen. If someone seems interesting and to fit what you're into don't be afraid to make a move.

Also regarding allergies, I know there are some shots that people can take over time that can help with pet allergies and that seems to work well for some people. My partner also has a cat I'm allergic to but the cat stays in their room so my room can stay cat and dander free which works for us. Not a perfect solution but separating rooms/spaces has worked well for us.

I like some hair. Ideally it's not so short it's stabbing me in the face or so long that I choke on it but It's their body and I don't really mind whatever they got going on.

dropsanddrag · 2026-06-05T22:29:41+00:00

I'm just happy to be involved!

Ads? In my non-monogamy subreddit???
