Default Think i'm addicted to the forums

I just recently started reading the forums lately and find myself wanting to log on every hour or so to see if there are any new posts. Is it just me or is anyone else like this?

Red face I'm a junkie, but this habit is cheaper than crack

Addiction is a pretty strong word, but there are plenty of steps (about 12) in the right direction if you seek healing. For me it's just an unhealthy obsession manifested from a desire to fit in. The only cure is riding my friend, I try to limit my activities to relevant topics but the habit sometimes causes a thread to be doused in gasoline.

So what do you all say to Whiting Wednesdays? 6:30-7PM

Step one is admitting you have a problem.

Step two....ignore the problem and hope it gets better on its own!

I only really check when I'm at work. I work 10hr shifts so I have lots of time to browse the forums.

I check a few others also, STR, Glamisdunes.com, dieselplace.com, supercross.com, surfline and a couple of others. It helps the time go by.

Off-topic, but how are you liking Spain, and did you find friendly riders and the good singletrack you were hoping for?
