    Well, they'll just have to suck it up.

    Yes You Need Snow Tires

    I've had snow tires on dedicated rims for 30 years. Way back when, I had a few sidewall blowouts when I tried to swap tires off and on rims.

    Bring the Stoke

    Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. No stoke whatsoever. The Ho is all ready for the UCI mountain bike World Cup. Official training starts tomorrow. Today, I saw 2 cyclists with World Champion rainbow jerseys out on the road.

    How much are they paying the person devising these gobbledygook phrases.

    The Double Chair Podcast is Live

    I'm looking at the LP Film Festival web site, and it's not in the schedule. Perhaps the schedule is still incomplete. It's in Burlington on 1 November but, I'd prefer not to drive that far.

    I tried to read that whole investing.com piece, I really did. It made my head hurt. WTF is "ancillary capture?"

    Are these guys on Strava? I'd love to know their max speed.

    The Double Chair Podcast is Live

    @Harvey which movie is in LP on 10/31? Queen of the Catskills is playing in Burlington on 11/1. Those were all really cool BTW.

    Protect The Adirondacks

    Perhaps? I don't know how often an ORDA compliance person leaves the office, I don't know what the scope of the job is. I really can't answer that question. The big hill ski jump snafu isn't stopping the Flaming Leaves Festival, FWIW. My own experience with compliance persons is in the...

    Protect The Adirondacks

    Apparently ORDA had a compliance person who moved on in 2024 and wasn't replaced. Doesn't need to be a lawyer. Does have to make sure ORDA complies with the law. There are already trail maps, what more do they want? I feel you... do you have a brick wall I can bang my head against?

    People over here still remember those 2 guys escaping from Dannemora.

    Adirondack Fugitive

    Times Union reporting that the guy was caught. Article seems to imply that he was found in Brighton. https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/anthony-bechand-suspect-cohoes-killing-found-21068806.php EDIT: One of my friends is a swim instructor at ADK Medical Fitness. A member told her the...

    Protect The Adirondacks

    I don't know the exact date that ORDA got the downhill MTB race, but it had to be well in advance. Plenty of time to submit an application to DEC/APA/whoever. So, crappy planning on ORDA's part. The good thing is, after 2024 MTB races, Backslope Trail Building restored Mt van Ho's trails so...

    Recent report said the guy's truck had bloodstains that may indicate an injury to his left side.

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    I would dearly love a manual Alltrack. I think manual transmission is superior in snow.

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    My guy likes the vehicle. It's just that he took a different route than usual from Syracuse, and no EV chargers. Since VW wagons and Audi A4 wagons are no longer brought to this country, I was thinking that this might be a good replacement for the current wagon.

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    The keyboard player in my band owns one of those Ford Mustang EVs. Last night, we had a gig in Bloomingdale (NY). He was driving back from central NY, took a different route than usual. Dang near ran outta juice. The charging locator app pointed him to one charging station that was...

    Protect The Adirondacks

    As one of the commenters in the article said, Whiteface has been altered for decades. I don't know when ORDA was awarded the downhill race. Seems to me, however, that they had plenty of time to file an amendment to Whiteface's UMP. ORDA filed an amendment a year ago to build new mountain bike...
