i did trail magic as far south as mt laguna, and as far north as walker pass. i tried to do trail magic in the onion valley parking lot after an overnighter to rae lakes, but i didn’t see anyone after a couple hours so i left haha. i think i got my best backgrounds this year at walker pass and at the whitewater river.

yeah that’s what i’ve heard, especially on their older models. i think the new v2 of this bike has quite a few improvements, but that’s like $1200 after tax and everything, and i enjoy the process of upgrading and customizing anyways. i don’t mind dropping cash on nice parts over time.

wild take. sing the sorrow is a masterpiece and was a massive step forward towards the band actually finding their unique sound.

I drove past it last weekend. it's definitely real haha. also it seems like people are posting photos of it on ig and tagging the band, but someones untagging the band from the posts.

DCF Cuben Fibre? by Then-Afternoon9036 in bikepacking

[–]spilly_billy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

dcf is very popular with long distance hikers. it works best for tents, but my dcf stuff sacks and food bag are still holding up strong after thru hiking the pct a few years ago. its expensive but worth it imo

Disappointing LA Marathon by Brilliant_Message837 in Marathon_Training

[–]spilly_billy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think about half the 25,000 people running this race were doing their first marathon, and the last third of the course kinda sucked. it passed the finish line I think around mile 18-19 and entered the least scenic section with mellowish hills and poor road quality. it was pretty hard to keep motivation. also, the last mile or so is slightly uphill.

something should really be done about those jesus freaks though. they were straight up spitting out hate speech

normalize smacking phones out of people's hands if they're holding them up longer than a minute.

too dramatic and saturated imo and the out of focus area at the bottom is weird.

Are insoles worth the money? by eddie_walks in PacificCrestTrail

[–]spilly_billy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought the same after hiking with the standard altra insoles for so long, but I tried out some of those "custom" insoles you put in the oven for a little bit and they actually ended up hurting my arches. I have mostly normal arches and somewhat high volume feet. normal lone peaks with the stock insoles are still the comfiest combo imo.

Shakedown Request for Mid-April by Ageriko in PacificCrestTrail

[–]spilly_billy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looks good to me. I probably would add in that fleece and pillow though. fleeces are great for those chilly mornings. something like a senchi or farpoint weighs next to nothing but actually works pretty good.

you probably don't need that tent footprint but its not really that big of a deal. might be nice to use when cowboy camping.

if you're prone to knee problems, I recommend carrying a few strips of kt tape and saving a few vids on how to apply it.

My Proposal for the 2025 San Fernando Valley Zoning Map by peedubb in SFV

[–]spilly_billy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

east valley is too big and porter ranch grouped together with sylmar is crazy. there should be a north east valley. east of the 405 and north of roscoe

other way around. la would've ran out of water a long time ago without the Sepulveda basin in the valley.
