All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Yeah I had an MRI, the orthopedic doctor wasn’t too concerned about the arthritis. He was more concerned about the AC sprain. PT definitely seems to be helping. Once I can bear more weight on it I will probably increase the strength training and start yoga again

 

Not sure where you're moving around here, but the U has a great ortho center with lots of sports medicine focused folks.

 

SLC. For sure, when I compressed my back the only place that actually helped was the U’s sports med center. Everyone told me I had to fuse 3 vertebrae. The head doc at the U said PT, time, and change my habits. It’s been almost 10 years now and pain is nominal.

 

True. We've got a 2006 and it's kind of a piece of shit. I think the newer ones are reliable though

Head gasket replacement, alternator, fuel tank level sensor, chronic check engine light, etc

 

It’s motor longevity that mainly disappoints. Good for x-miles but not the 4x-miles of a taco.

 

This is more important than a lot of people realize. If you're athletic, or active, you need to find a Dr or PT that shares that, or at the least understands and works with that. So many Drs and PTs are used to just dealing with "normal" people, that their solution to pain with activity is to cease the activity - problem solved. lol

going to someone that's not satisfied with just stopping the pain, someone who wants to stop the pain AND allow you to perform whatever sport you want is key. If they're not working with that mentality, go elsewhere.

You're in Colorado, right?

 

I could definitely look for a house in the west outskirts of Colorado Springs. It’s nice here, and maybe a 5-10 mile drive to most anywhere in Co Springs. This is where we’re staying for 8 days.

 

Beautiful area in the spring and summer but man most of those houses never see rays of sunshine in the winter. It is a solid sheet of ice everywhere in the canyon unless you are on the north side of 24.

 

I agree, it’s very beautiful. My fiancé said she could live here after vet school. Which she’s applying for 5 different ones. I tried to talk her into Ft. Collins, but she didn’t take stats 2 in college which is required for their vet program.

this photo was taken above the house in raw no editing with the mavic air 2s

 

Ft Collins is a nice town and I'd tell her to register for Stats 2 ASAP! lol

K-State has a great Vet school but terrible mountain biking.

Did she apply to Auburn?

 

wife has a Forester...it is a great combo to have...Forester for "less aggressive" jaunts and carrying light loads...Taco for truck stuff

 

Anyone looking for some 27.5 wheels? These are Stans S1 Flow wheels off of my 2020 Transition Scout. Boost spacing, 6 bolt for discs, tubeless ready, valves and xd driver included. Asking $250 or best offer. Has signs of use in the form of tiny nicks. Used them for a couple of months until I upgraded to some I9s. Will ship at buyers cost.



Edit: pending sale to @mrtonyd

 

happy truck this past weekend!!



and the trails were HERO!!! We did a lot of riding, and my legs are still feeling it

 

let me see if I get the list correct.

Auburn, Lincoln Memorial in TN, Midwestern in Glendale AZ, MS State, and there’s one on St. George Island.

 

looks like youre more in green mountain falls/cascade. i live in manitou right now, like a 3 minute walk from sunwater spa if you're familiar. my new place is just south of downtown close to bristol brewing. couldnt find anything on the west end in my price range (under 400k), though i was only seriously looking for about a month or two.

 

yes! interested! they would go on my 2019 patrol, so they should work no problem. been looking for a replacement rear, but if i could get that set for $250 i would be stoked.

im in colorado springs, not sure if youre in colorado, but i would be willing to drive up to 3 hours for them. otherwise ill pay shipping

 

I live in the springs as well!

 

May God be with you through those four years. If y'all make it through that together then you're meant to be

Why are we all the same...

 

I used my cargo divider as a bed rail for a fork mount so I can keep my trifold tonneau cover installed:



Carriage bolts slide in the rails. This is the RockyMounts Hot Rod and I'm sure most fork mounts would work just as well.

 

Congrats on the new house!
