I have three gravel bikes. I might have a problem.

Great concert and album

Just a few drops of water and you have a wipe. I can assure you my poop will be much healthier than RG and Dr Mickin's gross canned bean poop.

Or just buy fresh ones. No water or salt added.

Good luck @jsharr. You'll feel a big weight lifted off your shoulders once you get through the difficult part. Life will improve.

Did you live through the depression?

Anything for science. I will say the TP was nice and soft. The trowel worked great. The entire device is light and compact. Beats packing out your poop.

Umm, nuh uh. Even the picture looks gross compared to fresh.

I guess I could ride back and dig up my poop to find out.

This^^ Who eats canned green beans when fresh or even frozen are better?

For bikepacking, I use this.

I see a lot of them here. A friend of mine has one with a Subaru engine in it. I told him I'm going to live in it if I can't find a place.

For most gravel 700 x 35-40 is fine. If you were riding more rugged roads or bikepacking then 650b x 2 or larger are nice. It's a nice option for some bikes, but not necessary for everyone.

A friend asked me to check in on my mom. I call her every week or every other week or when we have time. We both pour a Manhattan and share stories. Someone said they called and she didn't answer so I should check in. I figured they called her her cell and it wasn't on and things were good. Sure enough, she said she plugged in her cell and noticed a bunch of missed calls. She said people get pissed at her for not having it on all the time. They said what if something happened to me, how would she know? Her reply was, what could I do? He is thousands of miles away, I couldn't do anything. Does it matter if I find out immediately or tomorrow? We agreed this was the best approach. Take care of yourself and if something goes wrong, oh well. She's 80. Still delivers Meals on Wheels even though she could be receiving them. There are two organizations that provide the service. She thinks one is doing it wrong and she has ideas how to fix it. I happen to agree, but I'll let her deal with fixing it. I told her I was shopping for a van to live in so I could work remotely, visit her more often, and help deliver meals on wheels. She said I was nuts. My mom knows how to figure shit out. She's thinking about taking a college course on short stories. I told her to enroll. She'll be late to class, not read the story, and still know more than anyone in the room.

Love it! Anything backroad/offroad is always fun. It's more about exploring and enjoying.

Today. Three rides in the park over the last four days.

Do you still have the photo of the office floor cleaning?

Murakami is a great writer. I think he has three or four books that reference the Beatles. Drive My Car was made into a movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Wood_(novel)

My favorite. Great book too.

Does Trek claim to make bikes in the US? I don't think so.

E-bikes are everywhere in Jackson. I drove by the Middle School and there were 100-200. I think the town bought a bunch for staff to use. I've ridden a bunch. You get what you pay for. For riding around town or commuting, the Cannondale Neo Treadwell is pretty nice and light for the price. The Mahle system is pretty light. Some of the bikes are in the 26-36 lb range. A lot of the inexpensive e-bikes are junk. I wonder about how they will hold up in the long term.

You don't really believe an e-bike for less than a grand is made or assembled in the US?

Wasn't he in Towering Inferno with Newman and McQueen?

Didn't they get his Heisman Trophy?
