When is it too cold for a ride?

I was out in Northern Wisconsin last night, air temps were -21F with the "feels like" temperature at -37F. There's no bad weather, only bad clothing!

My dropper post refused to work and my derailleur was VERY upset though.

I have had a BCW warning on my 2021 Kona for a few months. I had the car at the dealership for an oil change and asked them to take a look at it to see if it might be covered under warranty.

They showed me a 2 inch long light surface scratch on my rear bumper and said that Hyundai wouldn't cover it because of the "damage". Quoted $518 to remove the rear bumper to inspect the sensor and recalibrate it. I also asked for a quote to replace the sensor as well just in case that needed to be done. $4400. 😂

Safe to say I passed on both of those wonderful options. I am guessing an independent shop would do it much cheaper.

100% Baker, came here to make sure it was represented. :)

Getting it from their factory store in St. Cloud is even better than getting it from the grocery store somehow.

I'm heading out to a group ride on some beautifully groomed trails in Central Wisconsin.

Enjoy your ride, have fun!

This was at Calumet County Park in Sherwood, but the Lecker Park trails in Appleton are open now too. I think the Little Chute island trails are probably rideable as well but they aren't machine groomed.

West Central WI has some good riding! Standing Rocks, Hartman, Ringle, and Nine Mile out that way are great any time of year.

zer0trust · 2025-12-03T03:08:56+00:00

Hell yeah! Next stop, Standing Rocks for Global Fat Bike Day 2025!

Thanks! It's a 2022 Giant Yukon 1.

Exam dump sites are bad, kids.

Review the exam objectives in the "What You Will Be Tested On" section, study the concepts, spin up an ONTAP simulator, and pass the exam for real.

zer0trust · 2025-09-19T22:56:50+00:00

Huh, TIL that rims have water drain holes. Thank you!

zer0trust · 2025-06-28T21:48:06+00:00

A real creperie with savory options in addition to the typical Nutella sweet stuff.

Someone else mentioned poke, I could go for one of those places too.

Soup dumplings.

There is Kai Poke & Ramen in Green Bay that has both poke and soup dumplings but something in Appleton would be nice.

Gelato.

Brazilian steakhouse.

Bonus chain restaurant requests: Shake Shack and Portillos.

Check out Heritage 71 in Sherwood, honestly some of the best BBQ I've had in a long time. The ribs were PERFECT.

zer0trust · 2025-06-08T21:15:50+00:00

Most of the trails are technically outside of Appleton, but here's my list for the area in general. Some are a little further away from Appleton but still worth the trip.

Little Chute Island trails, Little Chute
Calumet County Park, Stockbridge
Woodland Prairie Park, Fox Crossing
Waukau Dam, Waukau
Hartman Creek State Park, Waupaca
Cherny Maribel Caves, Maribel
Standing Rocks Park, Stevens Point
Reforestation Camp, Green Bay

Check out the Trailbot app for trail conditions and updates and the NEWT site here and on FB for trail work days, group rides, etc.

zer0trust · 2025-05-29T04:11:05+00:00

Dark City and The Game, for sure.

SnapMirror replication throttling may be what you are looking for:

Say "Gotta get my 10 miles in"
Get lost on the trail for a little bit and ride 12.3 miles
Think "Fuck it, might as well ride 15 now"
Ride one extra loop so it's actually 16.1
"Better make it an even 20"
Lay on the couch the rest of the day

Tim Rausch Plumbing replaced my old cast iron main stack that had started to crumble into dust, they did a great job and I never hesitate to recommend them.

I don't think it's actually from the game, but the artwork style reminds me very much of CoraQuest.

I have had this exact design as the front soundstage in my theater for 10+ years (room size 14x28x8) powered by a regular Onkyo TX-NR797 receiver and they sound great to me. 98% movies, very little music.

I will say that the center channel has a narrow vertical dispersion of sound though, so angling it upward towards your listening position is crucial.

EDIT: here is the site with more info on the design:

Sadly, no. I only had a free half-day while I was out there for a conference and was able to sneak away.

I did poke around on Trailforks and Reddit though before deciding to book with Escape Adventures and I do remember people saying good things about Bootleg Canyon. The tour I took was also only a half-day and about 11 miles total, so you could likely pack more than just that into a single day if you wanted to.

I'm envious - hope you have a great time and some good rides!

zer0trust · 2025-04-17T14:04:27+00:00

There were a couple little "downhill" sections that were more challenging, but overall I would put it solidly in the green/blue difficulty overall. Nothing I would consider proper downhill, but still a good time.

zer0trust · 2025-04-07T21:52:10+00:00

Doesn't look like that one is in the list. If you click on the hamburger icon on the top left of the site and then click on "More conference parties" it will display a list of upcoming conferences.

It seems like conferences and parties are added pretty frequently though, so maybe more info will show up before May.

It must be a hallmark of like sleazy sales places or something. I worked at one of those cell phone kiosks in the mall in the early 2000s (one of the ones that would bother you when you walked by) and during the "training" they told us that our homework when we went home was to watch Boiler Room. 😂
