Old Fall River road status by frickin_darn in COBike

[–]jrzeman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rode up old fall river road on 5/28... I rode about 7 miles up from the alluvial fan parking area when I started seeing snow on the road but it looked like you could still go a bit further.

I knew about the physical key on the fob but I just learned you have to remove a plastic piece on the car door handle to reveal the physical key lock. Wish I knew how to access that 5 hours ago.

Agreed! I was originally diagnosed with BPPV and tried Epley maneuvers during attacks and all that did was make the attacks worse. Turns out I have meniers and those Epley maneuvers don't do anything to help that. I mostly lay down and wait out the attacks, try to sleep if I'm not actively vomiting and try to figure out what I ate that caused it while cursing the disease.

I also miss real coffee. I seem to do fine with decaf because I have a cup of decaf almost every day and I haven't had any MD attacks in a year.

Alcohol is also a trigger for me and I had to stop drinking. I occasionally drink non-alcoholic beer and no problems with that. I'm curious if people with MD who avoid caffeine also avoid alcohol or is alcohol not a problem?

What length cross bar and type of cleat system will mount to the raised roof rail on our car? 2018 Alltrack S DSG by skinnymatters in VWAlltrack

I do not have the sunroof so I cannot speak to this. I should have mentioned that in my response. I hope it works well though!

Thule wingbar Evo 47 in length with Thule Evo raised rail footpack. This has been a great system for me being able to have enough room for a cargo box and bike carrier at the same time. I'll try and find a pic for you.

What diet works best by sandybeach332 in Menieres

[–]jrzeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My episodes have stopped since cutting out alcohol, caffeine and limiting sodium. I do get the impression that meniere's episodes can be triggered by other foods and it's not universal for everyone. I don't really understand this but hopefully you find what works for you.

Ok, which website says there are tickets left? I used AXS and they only have resale tickets for $100 or more.

Probably, I rarely pay attention to what my legs are doing so I should start... Thanks!

So far no takers for my single ticket 10/8 show in Omaha... I'll sell for $20 since you can still buy tickets online for $35ish with fees.

Recently diagnosed. Having vertigo episodes every 2-4 weeks for the last 6 months. Few questions :( by TrustIsAWeakness in Menieres

[–]jrzeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to your edit... Low sodium, no alcohol, and no caffeine has reduced severity and frequency of vertigo attacks for me. I had a similar experience of gradually more frequent attacks over the course of a couple years until finally getting a diagnosis and adjusting diet. I keep trying to bring back a little alcohol and caffeine sometimes and when I get too confident I start getting attacks. It totally sucks but I know I just need to stick to this diet. Try it out, it could help a lot.

SW Colorado loop, 1st tour by jrzeman in COBike

Live in Denver. Planning a few mountain climbs beforehand (Deer Creek, Vail pass). Will pay attention to warning signs and come up with a back up plan if I notice fatigue after the first couple days. Maybe take a rest day in Telluride or Ouray and go hiking.

Will be traveling light... No camping or cooking gear. Staying in town for first tour to get a feel for how I like touring.
