Coffee #1 slowly taking effect.
Hmmm, this seems early today. Leg muscles feeling yesterday's ride but not enough to stop today's.

Wet outside. Have to juggle contractors and meet up with a broker.
Snow forecast for later at our altitude, I guess no riding today.
Oh yeah, feeling last nights spin session big time, my upper legs are fried from the out of the saddle work
need to finish loading the camper this morning as we will need to head on down the road with the horse trailer in tow as soon as I get off work to try and reach the showgrounds before dark

Morning Monkeys,
Up and at it early kinda goes against the concept of today, but stuff needs to get done.
Ever have to deal with this?
Person X: I need this tested
Me: Ok, how do you want it tested?
X: Isn't that YOUR job?
Me: Sort of. My job is to validate functions, standards and sometimes performance and/or load. So what sort of tests were you looking for? What are you trying to compare it to?
X: I just want to make sure it doesn't suck because it was really expensive.
Me: So what is your definition of "suck"?
X: Forget it.
Me: Already there, dude.
I tried to explain my frustrations in terms they might understand:
Me: I need you to run a race
X: What kind of race?
Me: The regular kind, how long would that take you?
X: How far is it?
Me: No idea, how far are they usually?
X I need to know how far it is before I can tell you how long it will take.
Me: YOUR the race runner, you should know this stuff.

Good commute ride last night and looking forward to it again this afternoon. I had bunny food for dinner, which is an abnormality to my diet. I probably need to make a bigger salad though, because I ate about 1000 calories of peanut butter for dessert. 
Starting the planning to hopefully add the bike commute in to work to the regimen, I have some logistics to work out first. The Gary Fisher is way more comfortable than the Kona.
Someone please bring me two Pink Lady Apples. We seem to be out of them in Atlanta.

This rainy Spring is getting a little ridiculous. Water level in Lake Ontario is WAY above normal for this time of year. Many lakeside residents are getting close to having flooding issues. Weekend forecast is looking a little drier though so I'm thinking I'll try to hit up some trails with a few buddies.
Here. Didn't die on the ride home from work but the wind was really bag, like steady 20mph head and crosswinds. Haley was asking about going for a ride when I get home but it's supposed to rain today. She might be doing garage laps instead.
I did have cake for breakfast, which was nice.

Hmmmm... thinking I should get a lunch ride in before the rain. Dakota Ridge/RR anyone?
Busy day in Colorado. 4/20 celebrations, Day of Remembrance for Columbine. Older kids off school today - but off to do a "day of service"...

I see a nice long mellow ride in the woods in my future. I think it will pass by many sheds. #shedshred
It's wet here and Lake Champlain is just at flood stage.
Been enjoying some ansible, it makes things very nice
Don't know how well I slept, but I did sleep in, which is a start. Dog walk and yard shit to accomplish before the rain rolls in. Meeting an old co-worker for lunch and beer(s). I bet you a shiny quarter this afternoon contains a nap.
Morning people. Get to start working with the county psychologist working towards possible promotion.....
What is the passing factor for promotion in your line of the job - being emphatic enough, or being numb enough?
for me....sleeping at night has turned into a series of naps...
True, no new scrapes or bruises. I think the maximum riding pleasure to pain ratio on there is to go from the bottom to just above the wall, and then ride down and go home. Too much grinding for both of the top loops for this slow grinder.Hey... don't forget small victories like not dying at Deer Creek!
I hear you, but to climb all of that and not get the loop to the east is a cryin' shame.
You're also a fan of Red Mesa? (the one that cuts out to the right) I like that flowy descent and even bombing down the rocky doubletrack after the loop proper, but oh so much grinding on the way up...
Still sunny, early snow on the mountains in the distance has vanished so maybe the outside chance of a ride.
Plan C for the new frame - ordered. Now the waiting for Purple/Brown Santa begins.
Also sounds like I should investigate Deer Creek riding soon.
Morning.
Signed up for charity bike ride. Not sure if it's ok to use a charity fund raiser as personal motivation to get riding. But, it is to help fight Cancer for Kids, so I'm ok with it.
My boy is not in school again, says he wants to start fresh Monday.. Guess all I can do is hope he does. otherwise I'll have to line him up with some counseling and see if someone else can end his funk.
I am hungry.

Dropped all 7 tiles in WWF: Halcyon.
Nothing more productive gonna happen, today.

No the other East.
I was thinking Plymouth Creek loop.
Ah, I was backwards since that trail does go SW generally. I like Plymouth Mountain Trail as well, certainly better than Red Mesa. Still so much climbing straight up though.
Sorry. I'm wrong. I meant Plymouth Creek up to Plymouth Mtn loop.
lol. I'd say for me it would be climb to just above the Red Mesa rock gardens. But... since I'm there, I may as well climb up and do the loop.
And apparently I go against the grain preferring Red Mesa to Plymouth Mt - I don't really like those few climbs to get out of Plymouth Mt. I much prefer the screamin' ride down from Red Mesa all the way to the bottom.
The grumpy-hiker ratio can impede the fun if it's high.
I'd suggest you do an Apex -> Dakota -> LOTB -> Falcon -> K/C -> S Valley -> Deer Creek -> reverse ride. I believe that would be right up your alley. I could join you once you got to Deer Creek.
