  • Quote from Drybones: “Most of what I know about physics was learned at a young age, still learning though, that last MTB crash was a lesson to remember, cracked ribs have finally healed. ” Deceleration Formula Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration.

    Quote from StalkingTortoise: “Quote from LIhikers: “Kathy told me the other day that she doesn't want to hike the next section in Maine if I can't get time off this summer. She didn't want to get our hiking on the AT out of sync with each other. That makes a certain sense I guess. I guess we'll plan a short section in case I can get a little time off from this new job. Otherwise we'll do a number of weekend trips locally. ” That's the deal I have with my 'Trail Husband': Our sections only count …
