I had an amazing poop the other day. Had to clean the toilet right afterwards. Mariko was impressed with it--she wanted to see it. Jessica was not so impressed by the tale. Go figure.
Sat or Sunday work better to ride next weekend?
On Saturday Jessica's doing a barre class so I can't get to a trailhead until around 10 AM, if that changes things.
Being in a wedlock, anything I will do will have room for improvement anyway, so why even bother?
Not sure what you're supposed to do at the weekend when there's still 15" of snow stopping trail riding...
That's sort of the winter equivalent of rollerblading.You could snowshoe around. Snowshoe ultramarathons seem up your alley.
NTTAWWT.
drink beer and finish your DH bike, then shuttle a rocky trail that will surely be almost empty?
There are a lot of Big Idea Guys around here. 
DH bike is finished, swapped the rear hose and bled it last weekenddrink beer and finish your DH bike, then shuttle a rocky trail that will surely be almost empty?
Bonus is the wheels now seem to be holding air.
Nice. I have to re-tape my wheels.DH bike is finished, swapped the rear hose and bled it last weekend

Is there really that much snow up there? Do you think we could pull laps down the gut??
There's probably still at least 15" on the ground here where it hasn't been plowed or on our patio furniture etc.
Dia Compe headset in my Townie is effed up. Cups are scoured so bad that nothing can be done. Bottom cup came out by hand. The race won't budge however. It appears that damage has not affected the steerer tube. New headset and required tools have been secured. I and only I will be facing it. It failed after I jumped a curb cut on the way home from the bongshed. When I landed it failed and I could no longer turn the handlebars.
Hello Monkies. I have a lot of stuff I should do around the house but... light rain last night so most of the trails should be in good condition. I pounded out a lot of agression and bad attitude on last night's ride but there still seems to be a fair amount left.
Also had my first mechanical of the year which initially flipped me out as I was climbing hard, down shifted to nothing, stalled and nearly flipped backwards before regaining control. Made a lot of gear crunching racket but just turned out that the cable clamp on the derailleur came loose at an inopportune time.
I mostly ride locally without back pack, tools, tubes or pump. For some reason I grabbed the backpack yesterday and it came in handy.
Such is another tale in my exciting life... I should ride and get my ass kicked by someone in spandex.

Want to come help me rebuild the Yeti and mostly build the ht [insert @jonKranked here]? I have beer and a 5 y/o to amuse you.
Busy figuring out how to route three midi controllers (Push, Maschine, and Beatstep) into an Ableton Live Host session running two Reaktor 6 VST channels, and a nested Maschine session which is hosting/controlling another Reaktor VST. There are a lot of factors to juggle, but it seems to have work.
'Morning. 1:32:37 in my hilly as fuck half marathon this morning. 10th place overall and 2nd in my age group, the latter of which won me a pint glass. My last half marathon was flat but hot and I was five minutes faster today. It would appear heat slows me down more than hills, though the hills wreck my legs. I'm in a fair bit of pain and discomfort right now. I ran a good race.....good times. 
motivated. went and rode local trail. burped the crap outta my rear tire on the jumpline 3 miles in. walked out. returned home for beer. second time in a row this has happened at this trail. i need to a.) check my tire pressure more carefully before riding and b.) consider strapping a co2 to my bike somewhere for when i'm local without a pack...
Late last night both my headlights went out and I had to drive home with the brights on. Yeah, I was "that guy ".
AdvanceAuto had a 25 percent off coupon so I got some bulbs, wiper blades and OEM spark plugs. Dealer wanted $90 just for the plugs and $60 for labor. I got 4 plugs for $30 and it took all of 20 minutes.
After that I was wiped out and too freaking tired to ride. This is really getting old. Haven't ridden in two weeks.

Rode this evening, dirt was of the hero kind. I need to find moar reliable riding buddies to hit bigger stuff with.
Went for an evening ride with the pup. She was well pleased and I had enough loose moments to make pedaling in the heat worth it. Amazing how smashing a few corners makes everything better. Need to water down the pump track after this beer....
Went for 30 miles of dirt roads and road climbs which hurt after two weeks of fa. If you're still short of tools lmk.
mmmmm....raisin bran.
road ride, then hit three wineries with the relatives and played Great Uncle with Maddox
