The underpass connection of Four Mile Run to the MVT was flooded as of 7 am this morning.

By 8am, there was some water near the sharp 90 degree corner, a few puddles here and there, but no problem at all getting past.

I’ll add my two cents. I like https://www.infinitnutrition.us/

You can get custom blends put together based on your needs. I can create a blend with a weak flavor so that I can make a 600 calorie bottle if needed. (For longer stuff, it’s as much of an eating contest as it is a athletic endeavor).

Friends don’t let friends drink Heed or Perpetuem. Tastes like dish soap.

You’ve been warned!

You: Foot-slogging down the hill in Rosslyn, wearing shades, looking serious. Also, definitely Steve O.
Me: Lots of waving, verbally saying “HI STEVE” enthusiastically.
You: Still definitely Steve O, but unresponsive.

So yeah, just wanted to make sure you knew I said “Hi”, Steve O!

Poor Steve O….

Always be doing running races and participate in Bike to Work Day every year. Then you have a never ending supply!

My son spent a chunk of his own money to buy a new fixie to ride to school (Mom and Dad pitched in the rest, because N+1).

Had some nice father-son time doing the final assembly. The kid isn’t as much of a hipster as he looks, in case you’re wondering. :p

Where can I get a shirt like that??

Glad you made your way over here from our FB page. Check out that Comfort Map I was telling you about too!

Yes, but for people on the MVT going north, the paint starts on the latter part of a right turn where it’s pretty difficult not to lean. For folks coming across the TR bridge, there’s still the slightest bit of a curve there at the bottom of the hill, but it’s slight enough that you can keep your center of gravity over the bike if you pay attention to what you’re doing.

Don’t they believe this paint is supposed to have increased friction? It might be a slight improvement over wood with natural slime on it, I guess. I still don’t like it much, but seeing it probably would make some cyclists slow down.

The planking through here really just needs to be replaced. In the picture, you can see how bad it is. A slip on new wood might cause a rash or a little splinter, but the “splinters” you could get from that thing now could really do some damage. And, it’s a horrible ride–that part’s okay though; after all, it is Trollheim.

Lousy bridge conditions? Throw some paint on it! Lipstick on a pig.

My riding advice was directed towards Gillian who rides straight through that section. If you’re turning, you should slow down.

Last time around the paint NPS put down had anti-mildew agents in it. Not sure about the new stuff, but I suspect is something similar.

Signage warning folks of conditions would be helpful, but replacing the entire bridge with a different surface (like concrete!) would be the most effective in keeping people safe.
