The first time I met him was at one of the cc.com events up icicle creek, you might have met him! Kelly did a great job with the article. Rest easy Johnny ❤️
You know he looked pretty familiar! But there were a number of people I met but forgot because it was Ropeup and we were all having a good time.

I don’t think I ever met this guy, maybe some of you did…

Glad to hear about the boners.

Aside from just the history and information on this site. I’ve worked to keep this site on because it is not driven by algorithms you mention. This is a community for people to connect over a common interest, and refuge from the mind-control apparatus that social media has become. No AI, or at least we try to clean it…you never know these days. This place is an alternative to all that in my eyes. Hopefully we can keep it that way. We need some whippersnappers who understand all this and can take the reins someday.
as for spray I’ve had a lot of fun here. There have been some really funny people come through here. It hadn’t been all good, but what you’d expect for a free for all. I miss some (most)of the people, others not so much.
In the battle for attention this site will lose against the current psych-ops enterprises. But who knows what the future holds or which way the wind will blow next.get off my lawn.

I'm certainly a little more protective about where I expend my declining energy these days. Fighting on the internet is not as fun as it was in the early 2000s. Those were the glory days of spray.
Now I spend my time trying to how to recover from training injuries.
Spray now
Spray in the 2000's
Maybe just go do stuff without training. Then the injuries are easier to talk about at cocktail parties.

I agree things have changed. So have I. And I've aged. I find solace and joy finding less travelled paths and enjoying that solitude while it still lasts.
I have been remiss in posting TRs here. I should though. I had a horrible turnaround on Chaval last summer, and that tale might amuse some, in a Schadenfreude kind of way. I did have the mountain to myself. (well, me and my son did). I need to go back before the masses/IG crowd discover it
You’ve been getting after it, as I see from Strava!

He sold the brewery a long time ago.
Yeah I think it might even been around when I had the last ropeup. I seem to remember that he was talking about it being the last time he could give us beer.
that is a beautiful area out there I drove through and camped in the Wallowas a few years ago.
Check out this video:

Fuck cancer. I still have one of those kegs he got me for ropeup. It was going to be a PITA to return so he just told me to keep it. Unfortunately there is no beer in it.

Rage on keyboard warrior. 😅

I tried to get to it too @eeelip but those links don't resolve for me in any browser. I wonder its because you're logged in?
I also just tried searching for it on the alltrails website and it doesn't even come up.

Still have these! Will they be yours?

Never head of these guys till a week ago. Kind of sounds like SDRE, if that is your bag.

I remember i used to want to jump on all these threads and argue endlessly. I'm so burnt out after the last decade or more. I don't really care anymore.
Same brother. I mean I care, but I don't see any fruit in conversations like this here or anywhere on the Internet. I would prefer to talk about positive things that we have in common. Like being in the mountains, adventure cycling, or floating the Yukon, or that kind of thing.

This a geology professor that I follow on Youtube.

Maybe we all just to take a bunch of ketamine and it will all make sense.

Earlier this year it was about the park people screwing the RAMROD folks out of their ride, which has been done for many years. The folks in the cycling community are pretty connected and have a pretty loud voice.

This was a topic worthy of discussion. Your dismissive reply makes such a discussion much less likely.
What the hell are you on about?

Now THIS actually aged pretty well.
I know I was just thinking about this post! 😂. Was even thinking of dredging it up myself. Still a fan of a few things: SpaceX and the scientists and engineers there. Also how Tesla helped make EVs mainstream. The solar power stuff is awesome too, but over priced and not especially innovative. Starlink has been awesome for some select use cases, but I really don’t like the pollution of the night sky.
The man himself though, he is unfortunately a huge disappointment as a human being, even if you set aside his political affiliations. Turned out to be a real turd.
I accept the shame of being naive about who he really is.

No sledding in the park!!!??!! This is fascism!

Maybe this was already shared here, here it is again if so. I love this YouTube channel.
