22 Signs You're Addicted To Mountain Biking.

Scary...

Hmmm, I thought I was addicted, but I can only say "absolutely" to a few of the items on the list.

14, 15, 17 and 19 are pretty true for me. But I can see where nearly all of them are true for many on this site. You know who you are. You have more than one bike and you ride at night.

12 is a big no for me. I think the list is aimed at those who crave a social existence more than I do (Facebook, groups, meeting people, etc).

Thanks for posting, @Andy. It was fun to read.
 
Now I can browse without even getting off the couch!

When you drive and see fireroads or single track off in the distance, and u wonder, how can I hit that? where's the access? is it possible?
Long time ago, I went hiking in the Andes, the Inca trail for four days... a great experience but mtbking has killed that memory b/c now I think only if I had a mtbike back then!!!!
Just imagine: single track up and down, cloud forest mountain slopes, trails lined w/ hand cut stones!!!! every few miles are old ruins.... river crossings... hummingbirds big as a pigeon!
I'm addicted...
 
I was up in the Andes about an hour out of Cuzco and rolled up on a camp site with a couple of mountain bikes. Awesome dudes. While we were hiking around the salt ponds in Maras a mountain biker pulled up off the road that leads in and I thought that was pretty adventurous with no chase car that I could see and the salt ponds being in the middle of bumfrick nowhere.

Looks like a launch from Vandenberg multi-stage headed south perhaps testing missile defense

Excellent shot, first stage done and coasting, second stage leaping out of town with its nozzle plume spreading out pretty wide. It was a Space X flight and the first stage is heading down range to a barge landing, the upper stage was heading on towards a quasi polar orbit with 10 Irridium sats.

I want to see that barge landing stage 1 solid continued to burn for quite some time squirrel-ing around in circles... Then settled into a re-entry and burned very red.

Yeah I lucked out on the shot Pixel camera pretty awesome

Just saw this "SpaceX did not attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage of the rocket after launch, as it has done after launches from Cape Canaveral in Florida."
 
Interesting, they normally keep the first stage. If they did not, one would wonder why. They put a lot of $$$ into doing a flyback booster. I know this one has been flown back before. It takes a lot more Umph to make it into polar orbit, maybe they did not have enough margin to fly the booster back. It is a great shot, you did not have a lot of time to set up, and poof its gone
