Do I win a prize in the superstition lottery?
The last few years I've got Dellegra, eye drops (a non-steroid one I take on the reg and a steroid one for when I get desperate) and a once a day nasal spray from the doctor. Seems to work ok. Very noticeable when I miss a dose.
Not counting this newest (if you accept that it is a guitar...), I still have more guitars than bikes.
Maybe 10-15 years ago I had more guitars than @bloaker has bikes. I think. A couple different santa cruzes, taylor, breedlove, martin, a redgate classical (w/rogers tuners), and some other odds and ends. I tried to marie kondo-ize all those--but this new one is an exception.
Nice ride! What's the other bike?Feeling the results of abuse from yesterday.

For a road bike the above profile may not look too bad. From an trail standpoint, it was brutal.
A 30x36 was not low enough for section and I was forced to hike-a-bike places exceeding 14%.
Pedal until you thighs/quads are destroyed. Push until your calves burn. repeat.
We broke into the snow line eventually and continued up.
The view from the top was great.

The top itself was cold. If it wasn't, I would have been dead. My body was burning up, so the cold was a nice balance.

I would do it again, but probably not in the summer time.

@jdd - I did know those tips, but it was a good reminder yesterday to hang the washing inside
I had a three way once... it was awkward.Leveled up my home mechanic game today: bought a three way hex wrench. Definitely better than the multi-tool
Yeah, I decided I'd just buy the tools I need rather than messing around. I've been watching a lot of those RJ the Bike Guy videos recently and I've noticed certain tools get used again and again so I'm looking at buying those when I can/need.I had a three way once... it was awkward.
Seriously - getting outfitted with the correct tools can make working on a bike a far better experience.
