Uh, what's a snow fence?


Jus' kiddin'.

No. Lashes. That way I get my upper body workout at the same time. ;)

Before school is out or after it's back in is the way to go.

We took the Airstream on a similar trip but based out of Custer National Park. It was awesome. We were just talking about possibly going back this summer. It's an easy tow. But we should go someplace new.

We went after school let out and before it started again.

It's made by a company called Framed. From what I could find, it's this one, the BD, and 20% off the REI Diamond Back in the low end.

More accurately, it's sold by Framed. All three bikes might very well be made by the same folks.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Ain't that the truth?!

My dad and uncle loved SD, so it was a road trip destination for us as kids. I always got a kick out of SD promoting the heck out of Devil's Tower even though it's not in SD.

I see that some of their bikes, including some more expensive fatties (Alaska AL and CF), are built in the USA. I also see a built in the USA CF gravel bike coming soon... :innocent:

Of course, now this has me wondering about the difference between "built in the USA" and "made in the USA."

I toured in the Black Hills in 2015. Did a lop starting/ending in Rapid City:

Dropped my camera in a glass of wine the first night in Spearfish. Bought a new one the next morning but it wasn't charged when I rode up Spearfish Canyon. Was also in Wind Cave N.P. and Custer S.P. Rode Needles Highway and nearly all of the Mickelson Trail.

Morning has broken. The coffee is drunk(can't walk in a straight line), breakfast eaten. As soon as I'm off the throne I'm heading out for my annual GHD ride.

And born in the USA

One of the most enjoyable movies of all time.

Agreed

Did you see the Buffalo roundup at Custer? Really kind of cool.

No one even had the decency to comment on my bike in the Hot or Not thread*. :(

*Apart from some Addiction TROLLS.

Probably should take that as a compliment.

Nah - The Boss is pretty clear on that one.

I got gorilla glue on my index fingers and it's really annoying.

Last night, my boy comes out of the bathroom with a sheepish grin and kicking his feet happily. When I gave him a questioning look, he dances over to me and whispers in my ear, "they were right!"

"Huh? Who?" and then it dawned on me. "Red?" I asked.

"Yeah!" he laughs, "it was SO bright!"

When he was in the dumps with strep the other day, the doctor warned me that the antibiotics might make his poop look really red and that he didn't want us to worry that it was blood. I told the boy about the possible color change because color-changing poop seems like it would be the kind of thing that might cheer up a 5-yo boy. Both the doctor and I were right.

I seriously considered getting a new CX/gravel bike to replace the Fuji this year. Narrowed it down to two bikes.

T5 Gravel Flat Mount Disc | All Road | Titanium | Litespeed Bicycles | Litespeed Bicycles

No.22 also makes a gravel-specific geometry https://22bicycles.com/products/drifter

Budget priorities nixed that plan, hence the strategic Fuji upgrades.

Both nice looking. About how much does the LS go for?

Honestly, I've had so much fun on my Haanjo that I kind of want to my make a gravel bike the "better" of my bikes. I'd almost say that I could get by without a skinny tire roadie all together, but I do like the idea of having something a little lighter around and being able to keep it inside for the trainer in the winters. At the same time, I'd also like to be able to swap wheelsets between the bikes, which would mean discs all around. :foo:
