EISPIRATEN

Thanks guys. Yeah I tried Taco Bell a few times. I remember the one in Lompoc. The temperature outside was great but the sun was beating down so hard it felt much harder, and I had a bit of a sunburn. I chugged down some tubular items to gimme enough fuel to hit Santa Barbara. Stopped to fill up wat...

I wrote a bit of a TR on this earlier as a rough draft and was thinking of how I was gonna do this. I've since thrown it out. I can't recall a lot of details because it was a long race, and often an exercise in sleep deprivation, so instead of the usual flow of a trip report like a sort of story I'm...

Dima, I'm saving your image for future torture.

Should I make one of these? Give me permission, daddieeeee.

That's pretty dope. Nice job. Feels good to stop. I know that feeling... friggin Prairie Fork is a true pain in the ass, and then you pop out near Mine Gulch and gotta walk south. At least the sun wasn't out for that first part on the way to Fish Fork. I am planning on something roughly similar, tho...

I have my own recent jury duty story, but will pass on it. Looks like I might have triggered something by indicating that I care about Baldy, and am willing to submit to some regulation. As I said, I am opposed to closures. But talk of 'individual rights' is a bit overdone. As soon as you wheel out...

Dima, yup.

You guys still read?

My ideas suck. I have friendly ideas which take a long time (generational), and unfriendly ideas which are super exciting and don't take time. I think education is key. In my special fun fantasy world in my head, public school is wildly different and kids are taken into the mountains for extended pe...

I saw a few of the fat claw ones the other night near Windy Gap. I'm used to the skinny ones, I dunno if they're the same and maybe the chicks have big grabbers and the dudes are skinny and go fast or some shit I'm not a scientist for fuck's sake stop asking me. Sexual dimorphism, yet another inequa...

I also very strongly disagree with limiting access to land. For one thing, I disagree with keeping experienced individuals such as myself from being on my lands as a free human being because others have either died, made mistakes, been rescued, injured, etc. That is my absolute and final answer, and...

Ah! Sorry i missed you. Yup i was trying to go fast!

Thanks for making it so I can actually upload photos!

I had a trip planned with a buddy but he was unable to make it this weekend, so I went to the list in my head for things to do. I wanted something challenging at a higher elevation to escape the heat, so I narrowed it down to riding up Mount Islip to descend the south ridge, or going up Baldy to hit...

Gracias, Sean. I was thinkin there had to be a spring or two around. I have taken water from the spring down near the top of prairie fork on the way into fish fork before, thats the closest one to where i was. I had considered descending into prairie fork and pushing to Mine Gulch, maybe as an overn...

I cannot upload most of my images for some reason. None of them are close to a megabyte in size (20mb limit per image), so I don't get it. Only one loads. Frustrating and disappointing. It just opens a box that says HTTP ERROR. nbb2.jpg The only image which will upload. I took some wonderful images ...

*blush* i do not deserve such kindness. Thanks guys. Dima, i dunno about good ones but im gonna try the mks bear trap style pedals, likely with the quick detach system. I have mks tour lites on my cannondale and i love em. Same bearings in the bear trap but a horseshoe style shape based on old sunto...

Dima can i put a big fucken keyboard into my iphone? Nah my pedals are flats with pins. Waiting until next paycheck to get the good ones.

Sean didja see the UAP whistleblower report from the guy recently?

And I'm tired of trying so im just gonna type. im also tired of the mental gymnastics of figuring out which damn words to capitalize in the friggin title like it matters anyway. im gonna forgo giving a rats ass about grammar on this one and just type this shit out. ARRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS and android...

According to the news his body was recovered. I'm curious where exactly he was found. Anyone have more information?

Damn kids these days take bluetooth to school etc etc

Sweet! Let's go ride unreasonable routes! I plan on something very challenging next weekend, possibly sunday monday. I have tuesdays off as well, usually, so it may continue to that point. It may be going up Baldy to Wrightwood to Windy Gap, down either Islip south ridge or the Hawkins down, plus c...

I work for a bike shop who has an account with Trek, so I was able to get an 1120 for a good deal. The 1120 is a lightweight rigid mountain bike with an aluminium frame and carbon fork, riding on 29 inch wheels that fits 3 inch wide tires, which means it can go over loose soil, sand, some snow, stuf...

Well in all fairness it's not a uniquely human trait. We fancy apes just do it 'big style' since we use tools and shit. That's my big winner question of life though, which comes first: human initiated extinction (or mass depopulation), or the whole let's go fuck Europa up or whatever. I do wanna see...

Will humans infect other celestial bodies before they wipe themselves out on Earth?

I cant wait!

47 days, all through the desert on foot. No nights though, oddly enough. I'm a bit scared for that reason.

You heard that right, damn it. I'm doing a presentation on Thursday May 18 at 7pm at the CalTech Beckman Auditorium on my bike tour through the Sierra and beyond. It'll be fun. Come heckle me and maybe throw vegetables, preferably not tomatoes cause I don't like them. I like tangerines a lot so perh...

I've been eyeballing this canyon recently. I didn't really think much of it back in the day cause it's so short, why bother giving it a try? It took on a new look with all the rain we got this winter, looking much more impressive from the 39 while on bike rides. I started throwing it out there that ...

Welcome aboard. Didnt know we were hard to find. I think thats kinda nice.

Oh man i cant believe you guys went hiking. Truly the most dangerous thing any human has ever done. Youre licky to be alive and the SAR teams are lucky as well cause #outsideisdangerous
