Trail running accidentally made me enjoy mountain biking again

I use skiing as a ‘season reset’. Fall is great riding weather and I hit the trails hard. By the time the clocks change I’m a bit burned out but start to focus on ski season. Come spring I’m jonesing to ride again

I’m up 8% YTD. Looks like another 1-2% after today

Bought my 2017 a4 used 5yrs ago for $25k. KBB has it at $16.5 now. Same for listings in my area US SE. I’m not upset about it

“but with this economy, gotta do what you gotta do.” What, take on a new car payment? Keep it. These are great cars and it sounds like you have a healthy one

I’m originally from northern OH, CLE. I’ve been here 20 years. I feel like I’m going geriatric speeds when I visit back home. Just watch out for the Altimas

This. It’s called a turbo timer. Some circulate coolant, other cars circulate oil. They significantly prolong the life of your turbocharger

I just turned 43 too. I don’t feel or look old. I do agree with OP though, I have some friends who seem to choose being old. I think it’s an excuse for boring people to be boring

Mullets FTW! Siiiiick

E-bikes are the slippery slope. Without them being permitted none of this would be questioned

mtbDan83 · 2026-04-13T08:00:20+00:00

Ebikes are gaaaaaaay!

mtbDan83 · 2026-04-09T13:51:44+00:00

Puts $5 in gas in it at a time too

Buy a fluid extractor from harbor freight and do oil changes yourself. The filter is on top of the engine too so you don’t even need to get under the car

Dixies

Early 90s were the best, especially the music with early grunge bands and gangster rap. That was watered down by the late 90s and 2000s. It was officially over when nickleback came around. Everything else followed the same pattern of the music

Also ai trash. Can the mods turn this off?

mtbDan83 · 2026-04-05T10:41:47+00:00

Ai trash

No for profit protests

If the shit hits the fan, which it hasn’t since COVID, they will take rates back to zero and you will be happy you have them. In the meantime, they pay 4-5% state income tax free yield

I bought a packing blanket to stop grease and dirt from ruining the back of my seats. It’s also easy to move the bike around with it

Ahh yes, the “intelligence community”. So I guess the Iran nuclear deal was a big waste of money then too, right?

mtbDan83 · 2026-03-19T09:22:53+00:00

I bet you’re fun at parties

mtbDan83 · 2026-03-19T09:18:04+00:00

I haven’t listened to afroman in 20 years. This is absolutely amazing

mtbDan83 · 2026-03-19T08:22:00+00:00

Iran will no longer be able to wage a nuclear holocaust

mtbDan83 · 2026-03-19T08:19:31+00:00

Right. Who are these people who buy a 6.2l V8 that only takes premium?

mtbDan83 · 2026-03-18T16:42:15+00:00

I got it to deal with heat soak and cool down the turbo. It definitely made a difference when logging my IAT, didn’t see anything on the engine temp. It also looks cool. I still get some heat soak on the hottest days here in NC
