    OMG. I was laughing SO hard girl!!!! I needed that because I really don’t feel like going outside to learn how to test my alternator in this humidity. Well, considering it all - I think I’m going to get the catoma self-supporting bug tent w/included (vented) tarp, & side access. A steal at $99 milsurp. 30” wide I think. No see um net. I had hesitated because of its spring loaded design & 13sq.” flat footprint when folded. A bit unwieldy to pack in my minimal bag. I can leave the tarp at home & use my poncho. Just over 1lb or so that way. Not perfect but rings a lot of bells. Happy trails!

    What I really like about cycling is that you can do it by yourself, with a partner, or even in a group with other cycling enthusiasms, a great way to meet new friends, even allies, just like motorcyclists do. I was never a fan of the big city life, instead, I like rural areas, mountains, and the wilderness.

    😳 I can somehow relate to your situation, I lost love of my life in 2022 after 15 wonderful years, grief is devastating and it needs time, it was extremely traumatic and at the end of 2022 I developed DPDR (depersonalisation/derealisation) which feels like you are in a neverending nightmare. Cycling everyday for few hours saved my life, after a year and a half in constant dpdr state I can say I am feelin‘ better evry day and go out cycling alone as much as I can, no matter if it‘s -15 degree celsius or rain, just go somewhere, it helps Hope you‘re feelin‘ better now👍🏻✌🏻🌞

    @lateworm4132 2 місяці тому

    price is like $3 more than a comparable size of Maxxis Ardent race. Negligible difference. I'm curious how road noise compares to other MTB tires. This seems relevant to me because if I was choosing a tire for maybe a drop bar MTB or an MTB-based 'longer days' rig, I'd be comparing to MTB tires, not gravel or road tires. I might give Ultradynamico the benefit of the doubt until I've had a chance to experience them myself

    Hey! Great reveiw! But I noticed that the tires you have are not the "Race" compound, they are the "JFF", you can tell by the fact that they have a little triangle after the word "Rosé" on the sidewall. The "Race" are marked with a dot, the "JFF" are marked with a triangle and Ultradynamico's third compound, the "Robusto", is marked with a rhombus.

    Enjoying my first vid from your channel. Love the realness of your cycling and approach to the bike. I did the bullhorns and found them to be super helpful when I needed to push hard on the pedals for a hard climb. Agree that it’s a lower position, so maybe not something you want to take on a long ride.

    Have you tried putting the cup inside the pot first, fill it with the spork, lighter and stove, then put your fuel canister in with the plastic cap on thecfuel valve upside down? Then uour cloth then the lid on top? Prevents rusting in your pot. I have almost the same setup and it nests well this way.
