Trouble is that TORSK and I have history with this stuff. We once competed in a 10 day MTB stage race across the Australia outback, have ridden 305km in a single ride and have also destroyed ourselves in the Alps, Pyrenees and Andes…
We both ‘retired’ from ultra riding, but………….I sent him a link to the video and the itch is back 
Have you considered how much more fun it is to go fast than go far? If I ever race again it will be individual pursuit and maybe mass start stuff on the track. Bonus is I can just worry about being fit and blow off trying to cut weight.
This is my first recording and post in this thread. It’s not perfect but I feel mostly ok with it enough to share:
I also just learned the song today
Great job, I happen to be wearing my Cure t-shirt from last summer’s tour today. I love it when I jive with a bassline and nail it the day I pick it up (only had that happen once so far). I haven’t looked at anything off of Wild Mood Swings, Mint Car has been on my list though. I really dig that gnarly tone you’ve got going, it’s super punchy. Very tight play for a day 1 cover. Please keep playing it though. It sounds a little off with the drum… but again you learned it today. I still play the Slowdive song I picked up like that all the time and it sounds so much better now than when I recorded the cover.
Good job man! Wild Mood Swings holds a special place in my heart. I think it was the first CD I ever purchased. And it’s funny this is the only song I’ve learned to play from that album. Maybe just turn the gain down a bit, but really good job especially for your first cover!
I waited in the merch line for over an hour and when I got to the front of the line they were sold out of almost everything. Luckily I went on to their website and they had a bunch of shirts and posters there. I think I bought three shirts from that tour and two posters oh and a hoodie.
I got in the merch line as soon as I got through the doors, before Twilight Sad even went on. I also had fancy seats right up close to the stage so I wasn’t fighting for a lawn seat at Fiddler’s Green.
I posted this under Josh’s new video post from today. That video really helped me add some flavor to this bass line.
This is a song my sister wrote 20 years ago and I decided to write a bass line for it (this is the first time I’ve tried writing a bass line) and then I wrote a drum part for it today also (I don’t think I’ve ever played a shuffle before, it wasn’t natural for me.) Anyway, I hope you all like it.

That’s awesome! My sister scored some box seats and let me tag along with her while the rest of our family were in the nose bleed section.
The Knack. My Sharona Bass Cover. Just learned this one for a cover band I play in. One hit wonder but always loved this one! Fun song to play!
As with all things, tastes, goals and priorities can differ 
The simple answer is that racing doesn’t appeal. Never has, really. That said, I have ridden reasonably fast in the past - mainly in mass start events (my best ever 162km / 100 miles was 4hrs 32min) - but I gave that sh!t up after ending up in an ambulance three years ago!
Had a little free time over the last week, I recorded this song and tried to get it uploaded but I guess Jimi Hendrix isn’t allowed on Youtube. Lame. Having trouble accessing my Rumble account for some reason as well, so idk how to get the video up. Audio only I guess. This one is pretty fun to play and not very complicated. Tuned down half a step.
Jimi Hendrix - Manic Depression

Wanted to learn a song today but also didn’t want to have to try that hard, a little tired after playing 27 holes of golf yesterday. I love this band, and this album, which I will probably cover most of in time. I think this is the best song on the album.
Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
This one was a bit of a marathon getting it recorded and uploaded. I’ve been working on it for a few weeks, I love the song and it’s got a lot of meaning to me besides just being a kick ass song but I’m glad it’s done.

Excellent first cover Adampalooza! Very well done!
Totally awesome Paul, both bass and drum parts! Loved the song, I played it twice. No title?? “That’s All I Need To Know”. Your sister has a great voice as well. Outstanding!
Nice job BillBass! Great tone for the song.
Great job! I haven’t heard that song in a while, but that does sound like a fun one to play.
Excellent as always Ant! The Jimi Hendrix song, man, I would have never guessed that was a cover. It sounded perfect. I liked the other song to, I’ll have to check that band out.
I was like “marathon huh?” then I pushed play “oh it’s eight minutes long!”
Good job, that sounded great!
