A huge congratulations to George @georgehotz and the Comma team on successful release of their new Comma Three devkit as well as a stellar first CommaCon.

Mother Nature had it in for us. Friday morning (3am) we were emergency evacuated from our campsite due to a wildfire just a few miles away. Without any of our gear and unable to return to our camp, our group twiddled thumbs hoping there would be containment on the fire soon. Fortunately, firefighters got the situation under control and we returned to camp that evening, preparing for Whitney the next day. The hike up Whitney was beautiful. No clouds, no wind, and blue skies. It was gorgeous. Everything above 14,000ft was a bit of an ass kicking with the thin air. Coming down the mountain on Sunday, there was more smoke, but this time from a different location than the Friday wildfire. Turns out another lightning storm had caused a new wildfire, this time extremely close to the Whitney portal. We were emergency evacuated yet again… two times in three days. I feel extremely fortunate for the opportunity to hike Whitney. I know a lot of permits were cancelled this weekend. Anyways, it was a great trip with some great people. Glad we made it out safe.

People that read my previous post know I recently recovered my mountain bike that was stolen from my garage on Sunday. What I didn’t mention is that I had my commuter bike stolen back in January. After a couple months of searching, I eventually gave up and accepted I was never going to get my trek back. But after having recent luck recovering my MTN bike, I decided to do a quick online search for my trek and THERE IT WAS. The seller was a reputable person who bought the bike at a swap meet. (bike flipping is common). I’d like to thank @tempepolice and the detectives I worked with in recovering my bike. I’m beyond ecstatic that after four months, I’ve been reunited with my baby. Seriously, this bike has been everywhere with me and I was heartbroken when it was gone. On that note, please help the bicycle community out by doing a few simple things. 1. Register your bike with local police department. That way they can track ownership If you get yours stolen 2. If purchasing used, type in the serial number into a bikeindex.org or some other registry to make sure it’s not stolen 3. If you see something suspicious (homeless person on a $2000 specialized, put out a post on the local Fb bike group of model, location, and time Oh man, this has been a great week. Thank the gods

I had my mountain bike stolen out of my garage today. It felt so defeating. I was really bummed. My trek was stolen from my patio a few months back and now my cannondale? What kind of luck is this? Stolen in broad daylight on a Sunday afternoon (I left my garage door open for a few minutes and came back to it being gone). Anyways, I am extremely grateful that I found the scumbag that took that bike earlier this evening. He was caught like a deer in headlights. I’m not typically a confrontational person, but oh man. I was livid. It felt so satisfying to find my bike and take it back. Moral of the story: Theft is a crime of oppurtunity. While you can’t guarantee things won’t get stolen, taking proper precautions can certainly help reduce the risk. Don’t make my mistake of forgetting to close the garage door. Otherwise, your 💲 on wheels can disappear in less than 60 seconds. I’m just happy to have my baby back 💖
