Bought it when I was 19 and sold it when I was 38. My ex didn't like it and I wanted a new truck, so off it went. It would be cool to have it now, but I say that about a lot of cars I sold.

I've watched several of their videos. They're mildly amusing.

I am not sure how in-sync our riding objectives will be, but I will be in Pasadena later this month and hope to get some riding in. I know you and big john are locals. Please feel free to share any tips or suggestions! One of my friends from SanFran plans to come visit us for a day or two and we plan to ride up Mt Baldy.

p.s. We are renting a place in "Bungalow Heaven" which looks pretty close to Altadena.

I figured. My hope is that whatever he has is so indolent that it won't become a significant issue for many years.

I thought about telling him that running is stupid, but I do my best not to editorialize with patients.

Early falling is classically associated with progressive supranuclear palsy and he’s the right age, but I guess he’s not falling yet.

I recommend this not only this weekend, but every ride thereafter.

I've never had a full-size pickup, and I don't see myself ever having one. After I'm done with my current Explorer ('17), I might go back to a smaller pickup like a Tacoma or Ranger.

In 1993 I worked at a GMC dealer and bought a new truck for $11.500. It had a V6, 5 speed, and 3.08 differential, so it got better than 20mpg hwy. With a 34 gallon tank it had a range of over 600 miles. When we moved to snow country I traded it in on a Subaru for the wife and I got the old Tercel p.o.s.

Just curious, how much does your fat bike weigh? Do people try to go all weight weenie on them or is it pointless?
