Did I show you guys my new eMTB yet? I think it may be about the lightest one on the market, particularly after I switched out the 2.4" Maxxis DHR tires for 2.1" Maxxis Aspens (which I also have on my Santa Cruz Blur). It's the most fun you can have this side of .... well, you know.

As my new romantic relationship has shown me, there are multiple ways to get dirty.

I like it.

I don't really mind dingy white tape though, especially if it's cotton. Makes a bike feel well-used and comfortable.

Do you still bicycle ride? Or have you concluded a Peloton is a safer way to exercise these days?

falling off a peloton is probably less bad than a bicycle at the speeds I run. Fast speeds like 21.3 mph.:lol: His body is prolly more brittle than mine since he's 60+ and I am a ute.

When I got my hair cut in late June, the girl had just moved from Boston and was saying how hot it was. She was not pleased when I told her the real heat didn't start until July.

There's usually a week or so when I wish the rjones28 homestead was air conditioned.

It's good to still have goals at your age.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a weather app on your phone?

The latest Wunderground app update is terrible.

Very interested in good radar as well as push notifications for severe alerts.

Agree. Their website is still ok, but the updated app sucks donkeys.

I've been happy with WeatherBug for years.

We had a fantastic Wednesday ride today. Roads were mostly wet so the bike is dirty, but we had sunshine and a fairly cohesive group of ten riders, with temps a seasonably mild mid-40s.

Well once you've worked for 30 years that concept becomes clearer. :lol:

The difference is extreme cold will cost you some toes or fingers, perhaps. Extreme heat will kill you. Cold is much more manageable than heat in terms of survival.

Now if we're just talking about comfort it's a different story, there are more enjoyable activities available in warm weather than cold weather.

Regarding climate, I've lived all my 37 years in Texas and I basically hate summer. I don't mind cold weather and have been happy when work trips to the Northeast coincide with fall/winter. I would love to move there, but my wife can't do cold at all.

Her dad's pushing on fifty years of working and seems to have no intention of letting up.
