Back in the salt pit.
Just winging it?
Back in the salt pit.
HA!"'
Second day in a row of waking up on my own. Its off as ive become quite accustomed to being woken up by the kids. Cold enough overnight I had to kick the fire up this morning. Debating riding, got a good soaking of rain yesterday.
5K race starts in 45 minutes. Got here early and broke in a clean portapotty. Gonna be a good day.
Will there be pie?
This would actually be a good custom title for IAB.... "Will run for pie"
Amazon & UPS mishandled two out of three recent orders with parts I need for my weekend chores. Gonna be a sucky world when they kill retail and leave us without real competitive alternatives.
dogs walked by headlamp, then fed. Made a scramble of eggs, red onions, jalapeno bacon topped with habanero sauce followed by a double espresso to take care of myself until lunch. Now to do almost nothing all day and get paid for it.
Same here, at least for the stuff sticking to the ground.
Was going to go up north to ride and cut a tree down off the trail, but reports are in from buddies that they got a few inches of snow. And there is a car on fire on the freeway, so screw that plan.
Going to the moderately flat spot for an easy ride.
Went out to the parking lot. No Porsche yet....
Ride plans on hold for a while. When frozen it will be borksome!Crazy freaking wet out. Much wow. Always fun when your wheels try to go in different directions. Steep stuff was fun...
75km gravel race. Good start, then burped med rear tire as I like to ride fast down hill. At 50km I got a some bad cramps. Sad to see the drop in speed after that. Still a good day of riding in the first snow of the year. I have had a lot of problem with dehydration and need some better stuff to drink before rides. Any suggestions are welcome?
Maybe some day I'll get to ride my bike again...
That's a bunch! It all melted here, not sure about up North. Now its just soup.
Just send it, bro.
Just been on a streak of shitluck
17 miles of tacky, muddy, and occasionally snowy Flume trail. Small siedewall puncture that wouldn't seal. 
I am making a shepard's pie for dinner so it'll have to do.
Not a great race by my standards....20:09 clock time. My legs just weren't firing on all cylinders today. I did manage to finish second overall in the race (out of 107), so I'll take it.
Tried that once thirty miles into a sixty mile segment of the Maah Daah Hey - it was not an excellent idea.
In cooler weather, sure.
You rode the wicked ride? You are an animal.
I've done 11 miles this afternoon. Roots with zero traction were kinda fun, new Butcher GRID totally sucks on wet wood.
Now G&Ts and "american kobe" burgers - when I find the energy to lift my ass off the couch.
I have fond memories of that spot!
With @Full Trucker, waiting for JBP to give us the key to the camping trailer with moar beer.
So, the real answer was.....I have fond memories of that spot!
With @Full Trucker, waiting for JBP to give us the key to the camping trailer with moar beer.
MOAR beer?
Tried getting up high for one final time this year. Snow stopped us about half a mile further than last year's snow halted progress. Turned around at 10300 ft.
In all weather. Read Waterlogged, by Tim Noakes.
It always is! But damn, we drank way too much beer during that trip. It was awesome.
Who the hell pays for knives to be sharpened?
Try doing it yourself, I find it to be a very soothing and enjoyable activity.
