That's gorgeous! I have a pic from when we rode that trail, but much later in the season so no wildflowers in bloom.

Kn.

Did he crash or was he ordered to do pushups for being a "bad boy"?

:scream:

Nice helmet.

For a real challenge, ride the line between the two wood ramps.

> Gerbil Cage! I saw them pulling a British guy out of this stunt on a stretcher.

Not the gerbil cage. This pic is the Zipper.

Kn.

Found on Seymour on Bridle Path, about 5 min ride time west of Empress Bypass.  Oblong piece about 14mm x 36mm and a bolt that fits through the hole 

I'm guessing part of a rear suspension for adjusting head angle or travel.

As all the coaches say, use your "cowboy legs". Open up your knees a bit more so that the sides of the saddle don't bash you during your rides. After a while, you'll find the right stance for you and it will become habit to ride that way.

July was the hottest on record.  Not here,  but globally.

Let's see how Dec/Jan average out.

Why are Dec/Jan more relevant than July?

It might snow.

I was floating a test to see if Shogun would trap himself into something like "because it's winter".  As if the global average doesn't include the entire southern hemisphere ...

The arctic is burning ....

I don't want to take away from the seriousness of all the fires in the Arctic, but couldn't we see most wildfires from space?

Unfortunate headline that has something of a clickbaity sense about it, but the real takeaway is just how much of the arctic is on fire, and how unprecedented the number and scope of arctic fires.

Is NBR the best source of information on atmospheric science?

Imagine just how lost you could get if instead of gathering evidence from proof based measurable repeatable experimentation by experts in their field you picked and chose anecdoctal evidence from yahoos on forums.

youll end up with trump and B Johnson

imagine looking at America's racist moron president in his shitty shapeless suit with that fucked up tangle of yellow bullshit on top of his big dumb pumpkin head, yammering incoherently like a low-wattage imbecile and thinking "oh yeah, my country should have one of these, too"

Back in grade school, teachers always used to encourage discussion by saying "there's no such thing as a stupid question"

My teachers were wrong.

Even though Islamic's have stated their goal is a world wide caliphate and will subvert the US (and Canadian) democracy via votes to install it?

Do you know what that entails (post Caliphate)?

Aren't christians doing the same thing?

You and I may both be hoping for something different from Mueller. You hope he could still be Trump's downfall and I'm semi hoping Mueller knows more about Epstein and he'll be between the proverbial rock and a bigger rock (if they question him on anything related to Epstein that is).

I highly doubt you give Trump enough credit for being smart enough to apply misdirection techniques. I do understand you think Trump's base is racist so he's playing to it but some people dont see a lot of racism in what he said and no, I havent read or heard the whole excerpt.

The only area where I respect Trump's intelligence is in manipulation.  He plays dumb people like Yo-Yo Ma on the Cello.  

His tweet was 100% racist.  Saying "go back to your country" is the most common racist trope there is.  It is right beside "Speak English".  It says "you are different, I don't like it, and I want you gone."

And, "I'm not a racist because I have a (minority race) accountant/doctor/lawyer".  See how racist I'm not?
