Man, the kids must be wrecked with all of the activity over the extended weekend - almost 8am and they're still sleeping.

Oh I disagree. I just wish something would give me an excuse to put a set of KO2s on the GX. Not to mention, the feeling of attacking 6" of fresh-fallen snow with new Blizzaks...

I've gone to the top of Evans in short sleeves. It's important to do it early, as the world is different at 14,000 feet. Clouds and weather tends to roll in every afternoon, and it can soon go from 50+ degrees, to under 30, in a heartbeat.

I once went to the top (in auto) and it was cold in August.

And I haven't ridden Conti on the bike in... probably 7 years. They're good tires, but there's no way to meet or exceed the hype that some BFers project upon them. I've been happy trying out a variety of offerings from other manufacturers and most don't seem to have a problem putting out a pretty damn competent product.

From what I have been reading about them, as in the creators, they are very receptive to feed back.

I think think that there's an inverse relationship. The older you get the more acceptable it is to revel in your glory days. That or, as you just get older, you just don't give a ****.

More worthwhile than posting about it here, probably.

I think I peaked as a metalhead when I was in the pit when I saw Meshuggah and they played "Bleed". Absolutely exhilarating and terrifying.
