Bought slightly used Trek Marlin on advice from a friend. Hope to go biking on a closed road that's about 20 miles long.

Also plan to buy fogger typed riot pepper spray and an Alien Gear chest rig. Dogs are a serious problem where I live.

Open carry is fine though and growing in popularity.

I have found that an air horn works just as well, if not better, and you don’t end up eating a bunch of OC spray.

Yep Foggers on a bike running from a dog will contaminate the user for sure. Possibly worse than the dog.

Short Salt Lake City ride

Complete with some altitude sclera syndrome. The zombie eye will go away in a day or so.

Big achievement today for me. Got this bike in 2016 and today 10,000 miles. Basically 5 miles per day.

I started riding again a couple years ago using my 90’s era single speed beach cruiser. That thing was a thigh burner.

Felt like I’d died and gone to heaven the first time I rode my Trek mountain bike. 10 miles is easy on that bike.

I’m getting serious and back on it after tax season. Haven’t had blood in my pee for over 2 months. Looks like I’m healed up.

Spoke too soon. More last week.

Started walking a mile a day, will get up to 3-5. Maybe that will help when I get on the bike.

Mine were too big for a box when I bought ‘em at 7 and 6. Oldest is a genetic freak; won the Army 10 miler amateur category his first year running it. Youngest doesn’t train but wins every swim or bike event she enters as a 25-29 age grouper.

Me, I’m just glad to be able to put miles on the body.

I have a 2020 Cannondale CX Quick. Is there a way to put 29" wheel and tire on a hybrid. The reason why is that I was tboned by a drunk driver and not have 7 bulging disc and 3 herniated ones also. I want to try and see if the added cushion will help me. I was going to get a mountain bike. But looking up to see the road really hurts my neck. That's where 4 bulging disc are.

Is it a 700c (standard road) wheel?

If so any 29" will fit, so long as it fits within the frame. Leave bit of room for mud and rocks to pass through

From the Belton Stamped a couple weeks ago. Not sure how well I like strava yet.

 

[Hoji]

Changed route a little bit. I really want to see the falls in daylight but work schedule leaves me wiped out at end of the day. Still pretty cool at 0400

 

[candcallen]

No barrels.

Found a dam this morning as well
