    Going Long and Hard.

    I’d be careful at the intersection of Washington Rock and Mountain Blvd. Especially when there is sun glare like 5pm in late October. 🤕

    Day 2 : After ten hours of sleep I decided to toss my day two route as i could easily become stranded in the middle of nowhere without any cell service. And frankly even without ANY hike-a-bike would be at my limit. Winged a more direct route that took out 20 miles and the most rugged climbing...

    More PA bikepacking. Further west, four hour drive each way so I stuck with the 40 mile, 60 mile, 30 mile schedule. Reserved two State Forest remote campsites in advance. Parked across from the local PD in a sketchy town Renovo. Almost immediately things went to shit worst 1.5 mile Hike-a-Bike...

    thanks I may take you up on that reference if my second visit to neurologist does not work out. I will get the EGM test on my right foot ( left foot does already have severed nerve from being hit by car ) and potentially a biopsy as well to examine nerve cells for damage. For the past ten years...

    Struggling all summer with worse than usual foot pain. On multiple occasions had sports med or podiatrist diagnose me Morton’s Neuroma and advise to ease off rather than attempt surgery. Decided to see an MD specialist and he does not think the Neuromas are the problem. Idiopathic Peripheral...

    Dry January 2025 (The Sober Thread)

    It might feel a bit awkward but the biggest bang for the buck is to tell them _now_ that you don’t drink anymore and have been doing so for three years. Drinky folks are fine as long as you’re not asking them to cool it. Telling them a month from now is high risk and high stress.

    PA Bike packing take 2 : Came up with new routes in Bald Eagle State Forest and wisely pre-reserved the two campsites: Day 1 drive out plus 40 mile biking Day 2 60 mile biking Day 3 30 mile biking Got hammered by expected Day1 rains. Unexpected 90 minute hike-a-bike thru unrideable trail. 37...

    Campsite options on my chosen route were not placed well for me. I will likely do this again in the reverse direction so as not to do most of the suffering on the first ‘half day’. If I went UP the Rail Trail 45 miles to Tiadaghton and camped on the river. Then the following day did all the...
