    Aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the NC mountains, late fall 2024

    Definitely true. I also think people play the odds game because the scale of the event is inconceivable, even when warned repeatedly.

    Yup I remember doing those circa late 60's to early 70s. We even did drills to duck under our little school desks!

    Aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the NC mountains, late fall 2024

    Good point. Aside from my phone set up with all kinds of weather and lightning alerts (yeah I'm weather app geek) and having a basement, otherwise I'm not too prepared. Oh I guess I do have 24K gallons of pool water I could use in an emergency. When I was a kid I remember my grandmother had a...

    That mangled, crushed car in his video tells a lot. Surreal.

    Aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the NC mountains, late fall 2024

    A mountain biker I like from YouTube lives in the Ashville area. He did a pretty good short report about the storm and his experience. From what I've seen on the news the scale of damage is hard to comprehend. Hope you're OK @MarzNC

    The Incredible Music Thread

    Any of you Mass/CT gang ever see these guys? Saw them last year at our local music fest and they were excellent! https://www.thewhiskeytreaty.com/live

    Today's Ride

    Saturday my wife and I took a fairly long ride with lots of up/down plus mud and roots. We had very limited time and had it not been for the Ebikes we couldn't have done it in the allocated time. We even had time to stop for 20 mins and enjoy the views. That second photo at the pond, that area...

    Seems to me the sking industry was never meant to be a commodity that was appropriate for investors looking for wall street maximized returns, especially quarter to quarter. It definitely has its growth limits. There's a majority of mountains, independent, that operate with a vision and...

    Today's Ride

    Nice. I'm really starting to understand how much of a game changer these are. Plus so much fun. Have fun with the demos! Last night's ride I climbed a rocky, rooty trail that I normally pushed my Stumpy up. I rode nearly double the miles in the same time. Still burned 1100 calories according...

    Today's Ride

    18.5 mile solo ride from my house today. Not much vert at just 850 ft. Used 27% battery and 98+% of the ride was in eco mode.

    The Fire and Rain and Smoke Thread

    The wildfire discussion just made me think of this video I watched that was captured from the helicopter rescue pilots viewpoint. It's pretty intense and captivating. Superb piloting with obstacle danger and close to bingo fuel. Job really well done!

    Summer Weather 2024

    Love this dry stretch. Seemed like a very damp summer in the ROC region so this is a nice change.

    Actually precovid. But our timing turned out to be ideal for covid 😁

    Today's Ride

    Yup that was our dilemma. Looking forward to 15+ mile rides with lots more vert. @raisingarizona agreed a bike is never a bad investment. We're on our 3rd bikes in 5 years. Getting into Mountain biking in late 2019 is one of the best decisions we ever made.

    Today's Ride

    Haha RA. You got my number 🤣 Well another ride last night, this time with my wife. Of course we had to get his and hers. 😁 Not too intense a ride but a few punchy climbs and the power beyond our legs was definitely nice. Covered a lot of distant for the time allotted. On the way home we have...
