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

Yeah. It's a brutal injury. Not looking forward to trying to get to sleep tonight.

 

800mg ibuprofens are your friend. Broke 4 ribs then raced a 18mi xc race 2 days later. Then nearly offed myself after getting the hiccups 2 days after that

 

When bike life is life

 

In a lazy boy if you can man easier to get up, I tried sleeping in a bed and getting out was murder.

 

And no frame-only? Cmon, I’d love a new firebird, but building my own ride is a must.
And PF brackets are fine if they’re on a good frame and installed right. Threaded are just so much easier to install and service yourself.

Went for a ride today in an area I haven’t ridden since early spring. One of the great things about Utah is that you can just drop a bit in elevation when the snow starts up.

 

Can't imagine racing.....or the hiccups.

I burped yesterday and nearly went blind. Ha

 

Turns out laying flat is the most painful position.

My wife made me a 6 pillow wedge shaped thing that I could lay on half-sitting and half-laying. Surprisingly comfortable.

 

Sneezing will put you in a coma!

I second the lazy boy suggestion. I'm just getting over a cracked rib and slept in a chair for two weeks.

And most of us worry about going over the bars in tech. Cake walk for this dude.

 

Trying to keep up with evenslower and backcountryj resulted in my brakes giving up. Thanks for waiting for me fellas. Awesome ride today.

 

Great time man. Must do it again. So much goodness up there. I ended having to pull the cord on P3. John was all about it but I just didn’t have the legs.

 

My foot and hand gave up way before that

Thanks for coming North. It was a fun ride.

 

Yep, great day to be on trail boys. Let’s do it again. Maybe a Stanley or Bull/Jake tour for backcountryj is on tap for next time.

 

Yeah, just a few bubbles

 

you are living my dream!!!!! so jealous

 

Dreamy...hope you heal up - bummer to hear that happened so quickly

What is an oxbow lake?

 

An old part of a river that gets cut off from the main flow of a river due to sediment buildup.

 

That is naturally occurring? Interesting

 

Yep.

This particular river (Boyne River in Manitoba) is pretty winding. Some spots will, over time, become blocked and the river will find a more direct route.

My "neighbour's" property to the north has sits almost entirely on an island formed by an oxbow.

We've only had this property since the spring. Were in the middle of a serious drought so there is very little water in the oxbow but when water is high it will flood and reconnect with the river though we heard it's pretty rare.

 

and what could make me even more jealous about this! Oh yeah...it's in Canada. Should have known
