Anyone that spends that much time on a bike in the cold, mud, and snow deserves some recognition, at least in my book! I love being outside and on the bike, just not when it's cold.
On the upside, my trainer time this winter has definitely helped my fitness level. I made it to the summit of South Mountain two minutes faster than my previous PR. I was all excited about that and then read about your day...totally put my day to shame.

Ya'll gotta watch it though. Lighting the fuse and blowing up every weekend is an injury waiting to happen. Ask my how I know...

yes, i definitely do not recommend completely destroying yourself every weekend. it took me a long time to figure out a level that i can ride and not just want to absolutely die by the end of the day

Yeah, pretty ****ing blessed to live here. This spot feels like you're secluded from everyone on the edge of the world, looking across some vast expanse towards civilization... but it's only about a 45 minute ride from my apartment.

i certainly make the best of what i have, which isnt much since im not supposed to be riding in most of the places i ride. but i have a problem with authority, so **** that ****.
its really my visit to SF @ 15y/o that is just burned in my mind, im pretty confident that ill end up living somewhere in CA at some point of my life

I haven't been in ages, but I agree that the Bay Area - and central/northern CA more generally - is incredibly pretty (though I'm sure living in SF proper is every bit as annoying as living in NYC).

im running a 36 ring with an 11-34 cassette and it's perfect for my riding. I will be going to the sunrace 11-40 or 11-42 cassette soon- just to give me the lower end I might need for bike packing. the cazaderos are ok...but I miss my nanos. I'm waiting on a pair to arrive. I won't be keeping these. they're too squirmy on the road.

i have the sunrace 11-40 on the fatbike, the jumps are nice and even. my only issue is my chainring is too low for most of what ive been doing but for legit singletrack its great
ive never had a bike with gears that low before, a week ago i did the hardest climb in the area and i think i still had 3 or 4 more cogs i didnt need
ive heard caz front/gordo rear is a great combo for mostly dirt/gravel
