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.

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

I've been happy with WeatherBug for years.

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.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
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.

I am 54 and my goal was to semi-retire (drop to half time) at 50. Did not happen. Maybe before 60, depending on cost of daughter #2’s college. The people I know who are happiest have found a way to work 15-25 hours/week. That gives some structure and income, but opens up more time for cycling or volunteering or grandkids, etc.

My witch doctor joined a group intending to work "part time." But she quit after about 10 weeks because she was working full time.

After loosing a flock of beseeching emails, most of which weren't answered even though I know the recipients, I finally found an author for the chapter that my ******* colleague down the hall just refused to write after signing a goddamn contract with the publisher and agreeing to hand it in in July. The top people in this business have never failed to disappoint.

When I attended university in Dallas I always made sure to get the **** out of town when classes ended in May. Summer sessions were out of the question for BillyD.
