Hello!

I've been slowly realizing that on my 15+ mile rides and especially races my fueling has been poor. I looked into a few different electrolyte water additives and went with Hummingbird Fuels.

I have to admit the fact that each packet has 60g of sugar has me anxious. Even mixed with a full bottle of water that feels like a ton, and I'm admittedly a novice when it comes to fueling during rides.

Does anyone have thoughts/recommendations on this supplement or if there's a better option? Thanks!

Hello,

I have had an issue since the most recent update that is driving me crazy. Every time I receive a notification, the screen will turn on and will not allow me to turn it off until I dismiss the notification.

Clicking the physical power button turns the screen off for a second, but it comes right back on repeatedly until the notification is gone. I have checked all my notification/display settings, notably the "wake on notification" setting is off. Tap to wake is off.

Everything is as it was before the update, but now my phone is constantly turning on in my pocket and deleting apps/making calls/moving folders since the screen is on.

Hello!

I recently came across an Instagram ad for a 50 mile gravel race in Richmond IL. It looked great and so I signed up. However, the more I look into the race itself the more the lack of details/previous year info/etc is concerning me.

Is this a legitimate event?

I recently purchased a Salsa Journeyer Cues from REI. The bicycle was shipped to my local store and assembled/quality inspected by their bike shop.

I've never had a bicycle with disc brakes before, and noticed that the area where it's mounted to the frame in the front has this area that's not covered by the paint. I haven't noticed any issues with the bike whatsoever, it rides like a dream.

But I am worried about this area, especially as I cycle year-round in the snow and rain. Is this anything to get addressed by REI?

Hello,

My partner and I live on the 1st (ground) floor of a 3 story townhouse in Chicago. Overall our specific unit is very old but manageable.

However, while resetting our breakers we discovered that the basement is shockingly disgusting and riddled with mold/rodent feces/mildew/evidence of standing water.

Our landlord is notorious for doing the absolute bare minimum, and only when bugged repeatedly. My partner is immunocompromised and we are terrified of what the state of the basement could be bringing up to our unit.

What recourse do we have? Do we need to move? Does our landlord have any obligation considering it's not technically the unit we live in?

Thank you!

It's so frustrating. I ONLY want the screen to turn on when I press the physical power button. That's it. But it frequently turns the screen on in my pocket and opens apps, calls people, and messes with the settings.

It seems worse after exercise, when I'm sweating. Any ideas? It's driving me nuts😡😡
