Beautiful sunny day outside. Letting it dry and warm up and going for a ride. Cleaning up and shopping for a leaf blower.

Fog. Leaving for DH in 10.
Hey, it's cold in here. Slept like the dead last night.
Totally forgot my knee pads are coated in dry mud. Guess I'll have to finally break in these new ones.
Trails have a snow hangover. No ridie for me.
wife is doing 1.5 hours on the elliptical and i am getting my riding gear together to head out to the dirt in about 30 minutes.....going to try and hurt myself on the climbs today
First ride in weeks yesterday was outstanding. Made it through our jump line and wasn't too slow on the pedaling. My ass is destroyed from swamp chamois though. Hoping to add insult to injury later today.
i fell asleep in the car for three hours upon returning from the airport.....

Ankle hurts to walk but not to pedal. Works for me. Heading up to Happy Jack for some Death Crotch.
woo dirt felt good. climbs that winded me in the spring were an easy spin up today. I guess all the interval work i have been putting in at night on the wind trainer is paying off
Sent to DEN against my will to bail out the line. Either a gross communication occurred or I was straight up lied to about the nature of the work involved.
I sense another discussion about my "attitude" in the works.

Hit White Ranch this morning, today's award winners were the couple in their 50's who were heading up Belcher on 25 year old MTB/hybrids. They'd gone through the bottom rock garden, but I don't think they'd reach the point of realizing they were massively otr of their depth on riding destination choice.
Thinking about making venison jerky this afternoon - they look nice and tender out my bedroom window.

Awesome day on the bike; fast, dry, dusty and not much of a lift line. Kept it pretty mellow and stayed on mostly rooty blue trails.
Called it quits after I slid down a rut and had a piece of shale smash into my big toe. Can't really see it in the pic below, but there's a nasty steep and greasy rut dumping you into that creek. Full on rock to the toe.
These Giro shoes while comfy and airy, do not offer much toe protection. Waiting for a pair of FiveTens to show up..

Hurt the dirt this afternoon with my canine trail partner and came across this purty lil' critter-

Tired as it gets right now. Wife and son will be home tonight. Looking forward to seeing them but I will be at work before they get here. Definitely feeling my age right now after the long week and going straight back to work.......

good ride in wilsons...people we met weren't quite prepped for the shuttle we planned, which added an hour onto the end of the day. oh well. @canadmos we did the ride i took you guys on, minus the last loop. took it pretty chill, especially after my rear tire washed out on some super loose gravel doubletrack ... still not sure how i saved it while i was swerveways in the air...
age range: 22 - 43

25 miles of descent at Thunder mountain today, sessioning all the jumps on Gronk. My quads are shot. Ran into a lurking monkey who may or may not have taken a picture of me in a leaf covered berm. (I stopped for him so the pic was taken in whopping 2MPH)
Now G&T

Decent local loop this morning. Was nice and cool and overcast. Makes it nice after having a few weeks of brutal heat. Best part is, a week from now I'll be in Whistler. Countdown to a week of trying to get motivated to work...
Which ones did you get?
Fox Launch Pro to replace my Fox Launch Pro pads. Not the best and they're hot, but they were cheap enough. The old pair, after stretching out, were really comfy.
Another good ride in the books. Turns out riding with saddle sores is a great motivator to stay off the saddle and hammer...
Sorry to report that I did not ride on such a fine day as today. I did however wash my bike because,
I'M GOING TO PISGAH TOMORROW!!!!

debating getting a fire pit
A messy chemtrail juice assignment should fix that.
