Quality of life

Thanks for posting that. This story reminds me of Everett Ruess, who disappeared at age 19 in Southern Utah during the depression. Ruess's writings, like those of this young man, reveal a keen mind...

Advil is ibuprofen - an anti-inflammatory. Sometimes on longer rides I take 1 or 2 tablets (200-400 mg) at the half-way point. It helps me finish without some of the soreness I sometimes get.

I also have a Y2K Trek 520, with 700x35 tires on both ends (Bontragger Select Invert). The back fender fits comfortably, but not enough clearance on the front for a fender. Like Michel, I'm going to...

Yes - Hwy 6

Crack heads, and I-80

Well yeah, crack heads are part of the reason. But mainly because there is no trail under I-80, and 400 South is a major artery with a bike lane :D . From the trail its about 1 1/2 miles to Redwood...
