I dunno… we'd have to compare our stravars

I thought these guys could ride? They took the punter line at the beginning instead of the rock spine.

From the pic of the bottom of the shoe it looks like you've got the cleat as far back as it can go. Did you find that you were able to get the cleat in the position that you wanted?

Went up last night. It was awful. 6" of slush. It was hike-a-bike to Bobsled. The trail wasn't steep enough to get any momentum so it was almost 12 minutes of slip, slide push and try to pedal down. Couldn't wait to get outta there. The steeper trails would be a bit more slide-able but it would be an ugly slog up.

I ordered 2 Solarstorm X2 from lightmalls. They got here after 3 weeks and were already charged and ready to go when I opened the box. Stoked. I went for an hour ride and they were pretty awesome.

They weren't completely out of juice, but I thought I would charge them fully for the next ride. Plugged the batteries into the chargers and plugged the chargers into the wall. The LED on the chargers was green the whole time. Not red like others have said. I left them plugged in for about an hour. One battery charged up (3 green LEDs on the light when I plugged the light back into the battery). But the other battery appears to have lost its charge entirely. After removing the charger from the wall the battery doesn't even power the green LED on the charger. Has anyone else seen this? I'm hoping to try with a friends charger and see what happens, but I'm worried that the battery might be toast somehow.

What's the protocol for charging these batteries? Should they be run down completely before charging?

Update: Lightmalls sent the wrong chargers with the lights. The ones I received are 4.2V/1000mA chargers. My friend just got the same lights and his came with an 8.4/1000mA charger. Good things chargers can be found for cheap. Other than that: all good!

I haven't been able to make it out to the last 3 but am stoked to come out tonight. I'm having some trouble renewing my membership on nsmba.ca. Can I bring 40 bucks cash and renew at registration tonight?

New apple farm market on Londsale @ 20th for produce. Cheap cheap and really good!

We're planning a week long trip to Nelson and area in a couple of weeks. We'll move around a couple of times - thinking of camping up at Box Lake near New Denver for a couple of days (thanks Sharon - saw your report when I searched).

Any specific campground recommendations closer to Nelson? Was looking at Kokanee Creek provincial but it's 20 minutes out of Nelson (which may be good or bad, don't really know where the riding is)

Thanks!

Anyone else hit the tree in the gravity bowl in Delta watershed?

Years ago, rigid bike, narrow bars but most significantly no skillz… lost control coming up the other side, bike on one side of the tree and I ended up hanging onto the tree part way up.

I've got a couple old ones…

Grade 2, first morning on a brand new bike that I bought with my paper route money - first bike with gears - decided to take a look at the derailleur whilst riding down the street whilst shifting gears. I got to into watching the chain "magically" move up and down on the sprockets that I forgot to look where I was going - BAM! Into the back of a car. Bent the fork and frame. It still rode ok, but I had to lie to my dad everytime he asked me why the frame was bent.

Grade 9, first couple of weeks at a new high school. Biking home waiting for my friend to catchup, I decided it would be a good idea to see how much I could swerve back and forth on the sidewalk. Caught the handlebar on a hedge and went straightover the bars and skidded along on my face. Out cold for 5 minutes, lots of blood and missing skin. Next memory is quite a long time later as the nurse was cleaning me up.

That was just the beginning of unsmart things done

I've never been there but Google says:

The jumps must be in the trees as the Google sat. pic doesn't show them.

Yea… from the parking lot, go south east into the trees from the dog park area. There's a paved path that runs out to strathcona rd. You'll see the jumps on the left as you head that way

Got a lift up the hill last night… great deal for 5 bucks!
