It's Saturday!

Where I damn well didn't want to put them.
I was just informed that we have family pictures tomorrow and will not be chasing powder. I should have gone skiing today.
I forgot how loud yet cool the sound of rain is on the roof of the camper. Close to 3" fell last night
Barely an inch at our house, can't even go sledding down the road, trails will be sloppy too
It is a weird corner season. I don’t have a ski day planned until Thursday so am going to miss out on this storm’s powder. Hopefully Nick is out there now getting face shots that need no color correction from TN.Barely an inch at our house, can't even go sledding down the road, trails will be sloppy too
There will be no powder out of this storm. Reports are all of rain at the bases...only snow at the higher elevations...and that snow will not be Real Powder.
I still would have liked to ski it...
1st-hand report from Vail Valley: "Grabby, hooky, slidy, slushy, stingy, surfy, cement. Any snow that has been tracked even once is getting set up into stone. The fresh is fun, though."

And.... Go fuck yourself. I do mean that it the best possible way.
I’m at a Discount Tire swapping out the snows. No turns for me until Thursday.
Two weekends, after I get back from Texas.
Music project has a promo video! A friend helped put it together (okay, he did all the work).

At work, raining, cold, no bikies today.
Tomorrow is my Dad's 80th birthday. Going to take him hiking.
Monday it's going to rain again so no Pisgah. And Tuesday the weather is going to be perfect, but the Pisgah stage race is on all the trails I want to ride that day.
Wednesday I have a hair appointment, yeah that's right. And again the weather will be perfect in Pisgah.
That leaves Thursday to hit the seasonal stuff before it closes on the 15th. Which is okay I guess, except for the fact that the weather almost certainly will not be what it is predicted to be this far out.
Really want to ride Butter and Cat gap since those trails are getting some major re-work in the near future. Come Oct 15th when the seasonal trails open back up some sections might be rerouted or gone.

Hello. Rode 25 miles at trail system i have not previously ridden.
I should probably pack for San Diego tomorrow...
Should probably do laundry first.

I ran a 6.55 mile race this morning and smoked it (6:27 avg pace). Finished 6/379 overall and 2/23 in my age group. Me (in tights) and the age group winner here ran like this pretty much the entire race, running 5th and 6th overall...pretty much nobody around us the entire race, as we were well off the leaders and well ahead of the people behind us. It was good having him there to keep me hammering, as it's tough to stay focused when you're all alone. He dropped the hammer the last 50 yards of the race and got me by five seconds. I couldn't match his kick. Good times...it was fun racing like that. I won a winter beanie and a fancy cookie for the age group placement, which was really my main goal.
Short ride on the fat bike today in perfect conditions. It was like hero dirt, but on snow. Those bigass tires sure do make it easy to slay those flat turns...
Even rode a steep pile of ROX; other people were going around it.
But enough with this snow bullshit already.....

No.
Super conditions for hours until it warmed then concrete within two laps around noon.
What, no pics of the cookie?
Back home after 2 full weeks on the road.
Sexy time!

You're doing it wrong, reschedule that crap! Your hair will still be there the next day, the trails might not be.Wednesday I have a hair appointment, yeah that's right. And again the weather will be perfect in Pisgah.
worked out today for the first time in at least 3 weeks.
What is this "worked out" you speak of?
Rescheduling is a definite possibility, but not if it's going to be another two weeks.You're doing it wrong, reschedule that crap! Your hair will still be there the next day, the trails might not be.
But more importantly, I'm less likely to get chased by those annoying Sasquatch hunters with a fresh haircut. You would think that a hairy redhead cursing at them in their own language would be enough discouragement.
Touched down at SFO about a quarter after midnight. Managed to get to Santa Cruz in one piece, fell out for a few hours, ate some breakfast, packed a bunch of stuff into my sister's car, visited local LBS, wandered up to Davenport, ate lunch, wandered around in the surf for a couple of hours. Nice to see salt water.
Had an awesome haddock with good local IPAs in Rockport, worked in the yard a bit, installed front tire tubeless. Then taxes. Taxes spoil all fun.
watching kung fu on netflix
Which one of my Movies are you watching?
rise of the legend.
just watched the final master.

Ruth kicked ass this weekend. She beat all the adult Amateur riders three days in a row and beat all the professional riders Thursday and Saturday and came in third against the pros on Friday. My wife is a bad ass
I live in the far east. My office is next to the sea. Fence is about 15 meters from the shore. Nice to work near the sea. It's summer now so the days get quite hot.
Local, local bike store? That bike store must be VERY local.
