Since all our bikes are still on a boat I have been working out in the garden which needs some love after lack of care especially the last year before we bought the house. A lot of weeds and I have moved some plants around and planted more grass.

Ride to work, attempt 2.
More "other dog" issues with dog #3 and it is stressing me right the fuck out. She will get put down if something doesn't change. I cannot, and will not, tolerate an aggressive dog.
You need to tell that bitch who's boss.

Woman observed wearing a tee inscribed "Check out my booze."
Was up 'til midnight with a buddy changing out the clutch on his tacoma. Brutal job when it's 90 degrees at 9pm. Thinking very mellow ride with the pup this morning then beers to beat the heat.
I, too, am at work. Yesterday as well. At least I rode in today...Work.
up at 5 today. was not able to go back to sleep. I am le tired.
Negatory. At best 2 out of ten squared.
on my way to the shitter...it better be easy like sunday morning....
Slept till 10AM, chances of accomplishing anything are running thin. Perhaps I'll paint a segment of a garage door, mow the lawn, ride the bike, drink some beer.

Made condo reservations in Steamboat months ago.
Just drove to Steamboat.
Discovered they've got the gondola closed until next Friday.
It was supposed to be open by now as we checked when we made the reservation.
???
No profit.

How did your 70 mile death march ride/race go the other weekend, @6thElement ?
Hello, handsome gentlemen. I ran a 5K in 19:29 this morning. I tried to run faster but my inability to run faster prevented that. 5th place overall (out of 217) and I took the age group win which earned me a pint glass. Then I got home and ride 33 miles on the douchey tri bike. I should probably eat something now.
Bad course markings compared to the race provided gps track caused me to run out of water just prior to the mile 50 aid station in the 95f temps. So with 30 miles to go i said eff it and DNF'd for only the third time ever.
Cool to start the race at Mount Rushmore though.
Oof. Even riding back to the car after that sounds painful. You did drive up there, right?
I hope you lodged a complaint
When one has to shave boobs to make 'em presentable... Would that be post-feminist?
Continental Divide trail to Fish Creek - do it and let me know the conditions.
We're headed up there next weekend...
Searle did not kill me. Was concerned that the quads were getting... crampy, but a breakfast burrito and brownie at the pass seemed to fix things up.

With the lack of lift for the DH bike we decide to go for a trail ride, thunderstorm rolled in and started blowing down trees. Decided it wasn't a good day to ride...Continental Divide trail to Fish Creek - do it and let me know the conditions.

Trying to find a shuttle back up to Dumont TH, I don't think there are any official ones though are there??

the video starts pretty much at the corner of my office building, and I ride my bike up that lane every day to go get my son at daycare... A woman was killed there last year, hit by a dump truck turning right. I was actually hit about 7 years ago there, when a full sized van looking for parking pulled a u-turn in front of my me (I wasn't running a red light, but that definitely prompted me to ditch the fixie)
Not that I know of... but maybe Lyft/Uber in SS has bike capability?
I got an update on the Divide Trail - "dry for July" but FS still has not cleared trees. Report is upwards of 100 trees down on the trail.
Busy day. Mowed the lawns, painted garage door, rode bike, wrenched on bike, tended the garden, had some beer. Is it Friday, yet?
WTF. It doesn't look particularly green in color on my phone, but the green/bottom light for traffic going the direction of the filming car seemed to be lit up. Based on that, seems like the cyclist went against his light. I can see how the car that hit him might not have seen him, given the dash cam car probably blocked the cyclist from their view.
Horrifying. At least the cyclist seemed to pop up from the impact. Any more info on the outcome?
$25 Colorado brownie?
Nay - gotta keep it together during the day on Sundays...
Yeah, the cyclist ran the red. Somehow he was fine. But he got hit with a fine for running the red: http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/ottawa/cyclist-struck-dramatic-video-1.4207758
Rut-row! What's broke?
