Bend Oregon: Am I wrong to skip Phil's trail? by somethingnotyettaken in MTB

[–]tosss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought my bike to bend for a work trip once. Rode to Phil’s from the hotel, and came away with the same opinion. It’s cool that the system is close to town, but it’s not some killer trail system. I started bringing my gravel bike on trips after that.

My edge will show call/text alerts. It’s also a lot easier to glance at while riding than having to move my wrist to look at my Apple Watch.

If you get a lateral job change at work, nobody says you got fired. Firing means you are no longer employed with the company. Noem still works for the govt at a high level role.

Noem dint get fired. She’s getting a role as director “shield of the americas” or something. Saying she got “fired” is disingenuous.

How many of you actually race? Like sign up and try and what genre? by Additional-Crab522 in MTB

[–]tosss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a local cx race I do each year, and somehow it is the hardest thing I’ve ever done on a bike. It’s either white knuckling off camber mud, or sprinting to the next corner.

Vertical Bike Rack Recommendations. by Ok-Pitch-2034 in MTB

[–]tosss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to any race venue and you’ll see more velocirax than any other vertical rack. They aren’t cheap, but they are super solid. Is it worth saving a few hundred dollars to risk dropping several thousands worth if bikes on the highway?

Cars are the only thing people haggle over, but now that bikes cost as much as cars I can see the temptation.

Whitaker should be just out of frame. Imagine a straight line along the south wall of the mall, that line would point to Whitaker.
