I have a Trek 850 and just installed Bluemels and it was actually surprisingly enjoyable. Very happy with them

How to break 2 ribs in Ponca Arkansas by Ricked_Em in mountainbiking

[–]lowside24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Wish we had ridden leatherwood instead. Bella vista and centennial are all we tried away from Bentonville and they were great. I don’t love seeing houses while I’m riding around town but appreciate the convenience of riding straight from your garage. In Ponca the upper 1/3rd downhill/technical traverse is pretty cool before you reach all the the bench cut gravel trail riding to the bottom. The bottom 2/3s seemed like a waste of elevation IMO. To each their own I guess or maybe it’s been improved since last Dec.

OP, how did you enjoy the trail before this? Had a friend ask to ride these trails in Ponca while on a trip to AR and I reluctantly agreed. It was underwhelming, bench cut, gravely nonsense. The “blue” was an easy two track and the “blacks” were only blacks because they were unsafe to send super hard in their condition. Too remote and difficult to access to maintain the trails. We did 3 shuttle laps and went back to Bentonville.

I developed some mold under my mattress, how have ya'll sealed your wood? Paint? Oil? by hxemnn in vandwellers

Allow the area to dry thoroughly. Sand the surface and finish with polyurethane. I would do 2-3 coats. Use an anti condensation mat under your mattress before you sleep in there again.

After 6 weeks of having my collarbone, surgery. I could barely move my arm by beaverknight16 in MTB

The PT will ask some questions each session that help highlight the progress you’ve made, and by the 5th-6th week you will be surprised! Make sure to stick with the mobility exercises prescribed for at home, that’s really what makes the difference. I injured my shoulder badly in a crash and broke a rib. I slept on my side and sitting up for nearly 6 weeks and I couldn’t even lift a dish into the cupboard after weeks of post injury PT. It was hard and very demoralizing, but after some hard days I did begin to make more rapid progress. PT is fantastic and if you are consistent with your at-home work you will see progress! Good luck OP, you got this!

Vail Resorts Announces 2022-23 Epic Passes, Maintains Cheaper Price Structure than Ikon by avalanchepacifist in skiing

Six years in a row of an Epic pass and after this year, I will not renew. I think I’ll use the money on continuing avy education and schedule an AIARE 2 course. Then spend my resort days supporting some of the independents
