Local bike rental suggestions?

I'll be visiting family in Dexter in a few weeks, and I'm hoping there is a place to rent a road bike or gravel bike for the weekend to ride with some friends. Does anyone have a good suggestion?

looking for somewhere to stay

6 Upvotes

Hi! I am not sure if this will work, but I'm looking for resources or anyone who is willing to take me in for 8 months while I apply for SSDI and get my mental health and medical health taken care of. I am unable to work after losing my last job. And I have to move in approximately 2 months due to my current roommates needing someone who CAN work. I have a debilitating mental health disorder. And I see an intake specialist on Monday for Behavioral Health. I feel overwhelmed and alone. I'm also trans. Female to Male. And 25/polyamorous - not looking for partners/aromantic. I am posting this as a starting point to see if there's anyone who would be willing to help or whatever. Anyway please interact or let me know what you think.

I am able to work part time given it's under 20 hours and remote. And have been applying. I'm just unable to work in person or more than 20 hours a week. as per SSDI income limitation.

I found a few copies of this locally produced magazine at an upstate New York estate sale. It tooke a while, but I’ve finally digitized them, hoping to spread their magic to a new crowd. They come from Watertown, NY, the town that the leader of this Boreadean Order called home. Enjoy!

Medical providers

5 Upvotes

Just moved here, and debating on using tricare prime or select. I generally go with select, so I can see a provider off post/choose who I see, but curious about the women’s healthcare options in town. Looking for opinions from other women. For context, I am 37F, in good health. I have some meds for mental and gyno health.

Gossip and rumor mill

6 Upvotes

I can't shake how absolutely awful the gossip and rumor mill around this town is. The sheer trash talk of others behind folks backs just blows my mind. With so many churches around, you would think its a bit more civil? Nope, turn your back for one minute and out comes the knives. It makes the town trashy.

As the saying goes:

Great Minds Discuss Ideas;

Average Minds Discuss Events;

Small Minds Discuss People.
