    That thing on the bottom left is my favorite. How many oz of fluids will you be hauling at most in a given time?

    My battery? My poor old phone won't last all day, even in airplane...

    There are two aid stations. I can get to the first with 84 oz (one Platypus) plus a bike bottle. At that point I'll camel up with 170 oz plus bike bottle to get to the next aid station (or water flow). The last ~third after that will be the hardest. High with lots of climbing and rough surface. But in that section is Star Lake, so more refilling as needed.

    The aid stations are, honestly, not necessary. There's a water fountain near the first one at Spooner Lake, and the next one has a flow nearby that I've used in this overall-dry section of TRT. Then Star Lake. I don't like being dependent, so even without the aid stations I'd be fine, as in like a normal big ride out there. PS: Kind of weird to bill a ride as self-supported when there are aid stations...


    It takes a lot of experience to recognize that. ;)

    A "Binger" is Basic, intuitive, necessary, gear, exfoliant, rectum. Kind of a shitty place to store your gear.

    A binger (as is Bing Crosby, not binge), is a small portion of cannabis. A single serving for one person. The term is also used to describe a pipe made for said usage.

    My 3 year old can officially pedal a bike, so stoked.

    It was all him, I bought the bike a while back but never pressed him to ride and only tried getting him on it a few times. Today we went to REI and bought him a new helmet and when we got home he immediately went for his pedal bike. I held his seat for a few yards then, boom.. kids riding.

    I’m still not privileged enough to post in the Classified Section, although I have items for sale there and have sold a few in the past as well. BTW, the stroller is sold.

    Alright!!! @Faust29 was my 10,000 like and I'm now finally elevated to the extraordinary level of iMTB Rockstah. :thumbsup:

    I'd like to thank all my adoring fans for the honor, and can hope I continue to supply the wit and humor needed to continue this success. Without all of you I would not have achieved this.

    I will now take a virtual bow....and see myself out.
