Pretty sure I shall celebrate by going to bed early and going to work tomorrow, because that's how I roll.
Not leaving the house after 4:00 if I have my way. Brunching with neighbors and friends tomorrow, so remaining sober is a good thing...
'Morning, and congrats to you guys for making through another year. I ran another cold af 5 miles this morning. 8 degrees wasn't too bad, but the -10 wind chill was rough but thankfully only kicked up a few times. Headed to VT now for NYE festivities which will no doubt include a 9:30 bed time.
whatcha hitting? did your friends like bailey?
hanging with fam and inlaws this AM, headed to museum of life and science with kiddos in the PM. feeling anxious/edgy for some reason. hrmf.
Taking it easy today, going to start at the Fish Hatchery and ride the loop @Dirtrider took us on last year; Cove Creek -> Daniels Ridge -> Long Branch and back to the car on Butter and Cat Gap.
Buddies texts have been sparse, but they loved Bailey. They are heading to Windrock today. Kind of wishing I had room to bring the DH bike.

Same here. Going to be interesting to see how the main road between the casinos is in the A.M......
It’s going to be a cold day at Loveland with @stoney and @Nick. @Full Trucker : join the 15 degree, 45 mph wind fun? 
Fuck you, holiday flying schedule! 
8F outside and a ride in 60 minutes. Not sure if toe warmers in dh shoes will be up to the task or if I shall pick different boots instead. 
It’s like 60 out right now, leaving for my first ride in three weeks due to lasik surgery and a bad fork. So we’re doing a better ride shuttle ride. Beer can chicken around the house tonight. I hope I don’t make it to midnight.
By the way it’s my second beer can chicken, any good tip? I put garlic in the last one I did, right in the beer.

Phreaduhmb™ is ringing...why do you hate phreaduhmb™?
Isn't there a bunch of CO monkeys in highland ranch? Stay safe...
Took my kids to redeem their good behaviour rewards this morning. Going to a trampoline park now. I hope it's not too busy.
Congratulations to all of us for making it around the sun one more time... May 2018 be better than 2017.

Damn straight.
That's over there in the rough part of Highlands Ranch.
Going fat biking with the global race team manager for Giant tomorrow.
It's gonna be a sucky hammerfest that I am not prepared for.
Ouch in advance.

I did rut the shit out of the frozen lakes today (literally - some areas are covered with mysterious 2" deep slush with standing water). It was a bit chilly and windy but fun.
Yes there was a guy kite skating on the smooth ice area.

Those little turkey sausage biscuits are oddly delicious. And the coffee ain’t bad either.
It was so weird. 2" of slush with solid ice underneath. Grabbed the wheels and soaked shoes, then refroze instantly. Gave me the Willies!
Worst I have hit was on Lake Champlain, one sheet of ice subducting under another. Ramp up. front wheel over, winds up in 18" of ice water. Rode back north to Potash bay, tried a westerly run, came to open water a mile out, decided to bag it.
Dinner, drinks and a show with a rather nice lady last night. Had a genuinely good time. She called me this morning to see if I was interested in a hike then went on an hour long rant about her emotional entanglement with some married dude in Amsterdam.
Needless to say my injured foot flared up and there is no hike in my near future.

Bikes were ridden, icey roots were slipped on and rocks were smashed off the bike.
Good day here in Brevard, although it was cold as fack. We definitely saw some snow flakes falling.
We decided to bike up the road and did all of Long Branch. After starting pretty mellow and with a climb, that trail drops straight into what I can only call a leaf filled ditch going down the hill. Hilarious.
This time around, there were no hikers in the rocks on Daniels.

Better than listening to the rant from the other side of your bed, though, eh?
You are wise beyond your years...
Went for a solid ride in some fun conditions. I am currently being used as a lay-z boy by my eldest while he rots his brain watching yet more TV. Someone ought to do something...
Both kids are sick, the youngest is a mess and can’t stop coughing. Poor kid...
A very quiet evening chez Peach ce soir.

Clearly not a lady. A lady never tells.
Only been up Long Branch, but yeah, that's an accurate description. Butter Gap is a fun DH and with Cat Gap being open until April, you can bomb down it. Totally worth the 40 min gravel climb from Daniel Ridge parking lot. Although it tends to stay wet and has a large rock face (with a sneak) that being frozen could be more "entertaining".Bikes were ridden, icey roots were slipped on and rocks were smashed off the bike.

I highly recommend this loop: park at Horse Stables and climb Clawhammer. Left on Black then down Avery Creek. Left on dirt road back to stables. The upper section of Avery is blown the fuck out and is some straight up fall line, ravine littered with rawks and root drops riding at mach stupid speeds.
Just go with it man, crazy sex is best sex. Of course, if she's a redhead, there might be a need for a restraining order at some point.
Wanted to try that loop, but will have to wait for next time. On Wednesday when the rest of the party is here, we're going to go back across Clawhammer to Black. And maybe back up for Bennet??
B
She could be trying to set up a threesome (or more...) I say do it - life is for the living!
Weather turned cold and the temp on my Garmin dropped to 5Freedums and was still dropping and playing catchup as we got home so I'm not sure what it would have bottomed out at other than facking cold.
Off to work.... .. wish me luck!!!
If you really want to hit all the goods in that area and demoralize your friends with a masochistic amount of climbing then give this loop a try. It took me seven hours, including stops, in warm weather.
Park at Horse Stables.
Up Clawhammer.
L on Black.
L on Avery.
R on 477, ride past Bennet Gap and continue on 477.
R on Club Gap.
R on Buckwheat Knob.
Cross 477 onto Bennet Gap.
L on 477 back to Horse Stables.
You're always having at least a threesome with a crazy chick. Just depends on how many others live in her head.
