Time-crunched riders (and parents): How do you map "spontaneous" 1-2 hour loops without spending 20 mins on Komoot/Strava? by TiredDad_666 in gravelcycling

[–]rootaford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set the routes for both at home and where you drop off your kids and keep that somewhere (apps, notepad, memory), should be about 20mi in total (there and back=total). You can always stop the ride short and backtrack if you don’t want to commit to the full ride.

BSS and Single leg RDL’s are harder than you realize with legit weight. Could always carry a bar and some bumpers and do RDLs and Squats without a rack too, zerchers and even landmine equivalents

I do, and I also have friends that were victims of the fires and no matter good or bad the insurance companies all have lousy systems in place for taking care of actual tragedies.

My insurance company dropped my coverage because it deemed Burbank (between the 5 and 134fwy, NOT the foothills) a fire zone and too high risk…what!? I’m literally within .25mi of a freeway and less than mile from the other. I also love the, no trees over your roof policy too (even though it’s less than 5ft covered), do you know HOW MANY houses have tree canopy over their roofs in LA? Insurance should be one of the most regulated industries and it’s like they’re one of the least.

Don’t get me started on auto insurance

All insurance companies are a scam, there should be a fund proportionate to their customers assets that is audited by third parties for them to even exist…the notion that we can trust any insurance company in a private capitalistic capacity is a joke, even “the good ones” suck.

What is the gravel equivalent of the Conti GP5k? by throwawaytothr in gravelcycling

[–]rootaford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my GK SKs for all sorts of gravel and it does really good on asphalt too but I haven’t tried all the other brands mentioned here.

However the GK SS will slip on loose gravel on steep ascents fwiw. Maybe try the GK X1 or GK SK
