Coffee in hand. Back is definitely not as sore as I was worried it would be, but riding probably isn't in the cards. Gonna try some yoga and see where things are.
Easy morning, take a ride, fire up the grill later. Ahhh.
99% sure I have the Mojo HD3 sold. Guy checked it out yesterday and loved it. Nice upgrade from his hardtail.

coffee and yogurt for breakfast in the camper. just about to walk over to the show office and pick up a radio on my way to the first aid station. My legs are trashed from yesterdays walking around and then riding up the canyon to the ridgeline. Got woken up at 3 am by some kid crying his ass off in a RV on the other side of the parking area
When did you get an Ibis.

Is he a dentist?

edit for pic...
Driving south. May the construction gods be with us. Or against us, the construction gods are a merciless, wrathful bunch.
family hike/woods romp about to go down
Thank goodness you weren't on a dentist bike, carbon isn't rated for hail damageToday's ride ended pretty quickly. Can't say I want to do that again... The thunder was cracking and vibrating everything.
Of course after busting my ass back to the car getting pegged by ice, the sun has come out.
Um, wrong!
If it's storming and hailing, the sun isn't shining and the bike is safe from harmful UV. Duh.
When life gets you ice ... make gin and tonic!Today's ride ended pretty quickly. Can't say I want to do that again... The thunder was cracking and vibrating everything.

I got up early to get my tiring 12 mile run done so I could tag along with the wife to a Santa Cruz demo that started at 9:00. Figured it'd be a short little demo ride but we ended up doing 11 miles of slow technical, climby trails. Now I am 
. Wife wanted to try the Tallboy and 5010, which she got to do. She still likes the Yeti 4.5 better. I rode the same bikes (though larger, obv). It's hard to really tell whether or not I liked them just because of how tired my legs were from the get go.

No way carbon cant survive east coast rox, hail will hit it in all the places it's not designed to interact with east coast roxUm, wrong!

This is why we only adopt cats, I am not kitten person. Surprise...
Afternoon Monkies! Last night's festivities included plenty of single malt scotch of the 10, 12 and 14 year varieties. My plan was to drink lightly so I went with the rocks... so fucking good on a warm summer night. I did not feel hungover but getting started today was a challange. Nap time came early.
My only goal today was finding a PFD, a new can of bear spray and a family friendly pair of swim trunks. Success. Now I am making black bean jicama salad.

Wife brought this back for me from Scotland. Sooooooo good.
Should I happen to make Montana monkeyfest (doubtful at this time) I'll bring a flask full for you to return the favor from the NoDak Fest.
Long road ride. A little sunburned. Very tired...
Not making Montana Monkey Fest was never an option... At the very least you can motor up on your scooter. I can arrange a mid level full squishy in your size (large?) to be available for the duration. You could fly into Bozeman with all ground transportation provided. It would be like the Price is Right without the fat ladies.Wife brought this back for me from Scotland. Sooooooo good.

Destroyed after 63 road miles climbing two different mountains with a good chunk on gravel roads.

More of a PTO issue than anything else. We're in the process of planning a big Europe trip for my 40th next year. These plans include hoarding money and vacation time. It is my intention to take at least a month off. Though I sincerely appreciate your offer. I may take you up on it still, but I'll need to sit down and do some PTO math first.
40th is overrated.
(OTOH, I celebrated it with meeting monkeys at Maah-daah-hey)

Attempted a ride down Kachess ridge today. I knew there was snow and just planned on a bunch of hike a bike. A nice 4000ft of climbing to get foiled by a steep ass off camber chunk of ice. No way around, no way not to die. Had to roll back via fire road. So on a day where some places were seeing 100 degree temps I was foiled by fucking snow.
Still beats a day at work.

Have you ridden Suntop, Skookum Flats, and/or Noble Knob?
Dammit, man...borrowing mine would have no break-even, and you could have just kept it basically forever, since I bought it to power wash my wooden deck 5-ish years ago (which is now fake wood) and have not used it since.
