Not sure if it's just me but 3 hour mtb vs 3 hour road is just not the same with mtb just being that much tougher. I still feel my long ride from yesterday and slept late too. Not complaining it's great to feel tired this way. I just wish I lived in an area with longer trails as yesterday part of the ride is on the road to and from the trail.

No plans today beside drinking coffee and maybe a trip to the gym.

We finally got a little rain. The trails should be primo.
Found a couple guys yesterday that were rather talkative, holy shit. I think the one farmer would have jogged beside my truck to keep chatting.

Might go look at a Can-Am Defender today, we'll see.

Getting ready to cut my hair and the wife is not on board with me rocking a luscious mullet for a day. What a downer.

Stayed in bed for 8 hours last night. Let's see if that helps with fatigue I've been feeling recently. I can't sit down without my eyes closing.

What's up there, Captain Sparky! I ran 6.2 miles this morning before the sun came up. It was a lovely 44 degrees. I'll get a bike workout done at some point during the working hours. Hooray WFH!!

Great ride last night. Trails are dusty dry - not a great combo for riding at night with bright lights. Just had to be out front to not get white out blasted. :cheers:

Now for this work crap. Motivation is not high.

Benefits fair this am. Took Haley to the race shop yesterday to figure out sizing for her race suit next year. She found a Sparco one that matches her kart perfectly, so she wants that one. She understands *why* we need to get grandparents involved with Xmas for stuff, because the gear she wants isn't cheap, but she would still like arts and crafts miscellany. Kids...

Bittersweet morning. Surrounded by boxes in a home that isn't mine anymore. Lots of feelings and memories tied up in this place, both good and bad. I spent probably an hour yesterday talking with the family down the street that bought this place, and they are so super excited and I feel good about that. Going to be a busy weekend.

looking like some rain is in the forecast for saturday's century.... i have road rain pants, and 2 rain jackets. a superlight old DH one from Royal, and a nice Enduro Singletrack jacket, which is also hooded, but might also be overkill?

Do either have pit zips ? I’d take the one that is moar water resistant. A wetted out jacket is just dead weight.

Got asked to work on a project that I don't want to work on and see little value in. Then I got asked to do a bunch of dumb paperwork and jump through hoops to get said project approved by the people who asked me to go work it.

Would be a real shame if I did a half-assed job on that.

Morning Monkeys.

It's been raining for days and will continue to until April. Going to look at a car at lunch I have no intention of buying but fuck work. A guy we hired a few months ago for this big networking project has been out sick almost the entire time. He was supposed to have code for me this week but it seems our health care system sucks (shocker) so he's flying back to Croatia and will let us know what's up in a few days. The first sprint ends tomorrow, I have little hope of having anything by then.
