I’ve raced my whole life and you have to start somewhere. You are a beginner signed up in the beginner class. Take a deep breath and remember it’s about having fun and building on your skills. After you watch some other riders hit some of their harder obstacles you may find a line that you could manage. Just don’t ride outside your abilities. There’s no pay check or sponsorship at the end of the race, don’t risk injury and time off your bike.

This strain was great, I picked up a 1/2 oz of their gelato also, I feel like that one’s a little more terpy but both are fire.

I have a pax plus and a volcano vape, dry herb is great! I actually 3d printed a flower mill that works decent. A decent mill is on my list

It’s makes it easy to remove the stems. I also like it for a chunky grind

Being a celiac and a foodie, I cook 90 percent of my food from scratch, including smoked and fried wings. Although I also work full time and have other life responsibilities. so sometimes it’s nice to have an easy air fryer meal rather than having to order takeout out and risk cross contamination. At this point in my life the few extra dollars on a bag of chicken is not breaking the bank after the thousands I’ve spent on GF food over the years. I don’t disagree that it would be better if I made them myself, but there’s a time investment in prep, cook and cleaning.

Ah I didn’t know these were replacing those, I really liked the chipotle bbq ones

I like it

I got my 23 onyx for my wife on Valentine’s Day with 36k miles. I’m really happy with it so far.

This was my first gram of RSO, I just got a few grams from another brand that is very dark

Big reds “summer time in phoenix” is one of my favorite sauces

This is the Pax plus, I bought it about 2 years ago. The battery life is decent on this one. I was checking out the flow on the pax website, my wife’s biggest problem with mine is the air resistance in the draw

I really like it, it’s very consistent on temps and flavor. It will fully bake all the flower and leave no green In the chamber. I haven’t tried it, but you can also smoke concentrates out of it with an insert for the chamber.

Typical it’s the first 300-500lbs just to make sure the system is clear. Wheat is an allergen but it’s not treated the same as a peanut butter allergen.

I previously worked at General Mills in a cereal plant. Personally I would not risk it if it’s not labeled. More than likely they’re running the cereal through the same line as cinnamon toast crunch. Since it’s not an allergen change there would be no reason to deep clean the equipment between cereals and they would just dispose of the first few hundred lbs as an offal tote before running bagged cereal. The only time limes got a deep clean was for an allergen change (IE peanut butter) and for planned down time. General Mills will put gluten free on anything they can because it makes people think it’s healthy and sells more boxes, if this was gluten free it would be labeled as such

I used to work on a product line, this looks like either a weight that they would use to calibrate the scale or what they would use to test the metal detector, typically the metal detector test piece would be much smaller because you would want to detect and reject small metal chunks or screws etc. What we would use the test or metal detector was a piece of metal about the size of a ball bearing that was embedded in a colorful trunk of plastic.

I actually had this happen last month with a Shimano mtb cassette. I figured it was just rei clearing out old inventory for less than the brands minimum sale price

Target near me had 2 on the shelf yesterday

5’ 9” on a large Intense Spider T and a large Fezzari Wire Peak. I had to switch out the dropper posts from 175mm to 125mm. The past few times I’ve been to bike festivals I have been placed on a large with Niner, Rocky Mountain and a few others

I’ve had no issues with vapes, extracts, or flower. You need to be careful with edibles. I typically stick to ones that are labeled GF. If you’re going to a dispensary, the bud tender should be pretty knowledgeable on which products you need to avoid. I always double check the ingredients before I check out. another thing to watch out for is some of the topical’s can have gluten in them

I went to Disneyland a few times just due to proximity. There are plenty of safe options. I recommend doing a little research ahead of time to see what your options are as some items are much better than others and they can change seasonally. I have a sister who is also celiac who spent a lot of time in Disney world. It looks like there is a lot more options in Disney world.

I would 100% look at used bikes on market place, I spent a few months looking at new bikes in the 3k range to find you are going to get an ok spec aluminum bike or an entry level spec carbon bike. I decided to go used and after a few weeks of looking I found a great deal on a 23 Intense Sniper T for $1650 that had pretty much everything I wanted on it. The great thing about a decent used bike is the original owner takes the biggest hit on depreciation so if you decide to sell it and upgrade you’ll likely get most of your money back. There’s nothing wrong with polygon but I’ve seen a few of them sitting on market place for a while with a fairly low price. With how cheap the used bike market is right now it’s hard to justify buying a new bike

A few years ago I was in a pretty nasty motorcycle accident, I had a few surgeries on my knee and had to stop biking for a while when I was dealing when I was dealing with recovery. When I tried getting back on the bike I was in pain for days after riding. I went to a pain specialist and they gave me stem cell shots in my knee joint. It wasn’t an over night fix. But after a few years of not riding I got an e-bike which helped me take some pressure off my knee. After a year with the ebike I’m back on my analog bike hammering climbs with out pain. My knee is in no way perfect but I think the stem cell shots helped get me back to where I am and may be worth looking in to. The e-bike is also nice to switch back and fourth with the analog bike so I get more trail time.

That’s about how I look at 4:20 also

I’m 3 miles from the trails and in summer I’m done riding before the kids wake up. The terrain is definitely rough on the bikes. I have gouges and rock chips all over

It will get easier as you build you endurance and muscle, it may also be helpful to get a smaller front chainring. I just switched from a 34t to a 30t and it made a world of difference on the bigger climbs

I have found that if I use coconut oil, it comes out very moist and stays moist longer
