'Morning, folks! MBC dragged me to the pool for some laps this morning, which was my first swim since Ironman glory. 30 minutes of dragging ass. 
I'll go for a short run later....definitely still in full-on recovery mode. Slept another 10 hours last night. So.Much.Sleep.

Like so many bags of dog poo?Hiking with family today. We didn't bring a carrier for Mariko so she will walk the whole time. Or so we hope. Maybe we will leave her at the side of the trail.
Don't leave your children on the side of the trail. Pick up after yourself, for Wōden's sake!
Slept in until 7, first aid station is set up so now I am finishing my coffee and having some food before the show starts. Drive here sucked ass last night. Two hours to go 65 miles as there were 6 different wrecks on the freeway.
Just had a teenie lil' earthquake here...
Edit: 4.8. Not too shabby.

Hike successful. Mariko walked everything after being convinced that kitty hikers are ok with slipping and falling down now and then. She meowed and pawed the air the whole time, which is far better than whining.
Good Thai in Castle Rock, too. Who would've known…

Great weather and the best conditions at Keystone all year. Hot laps until my friend crashed hard and F'ed up her shoulder. No bueno.
Great day at the hill. Clouds kept the temperatures down at a reasonable level. Had to cut the day short, though. On the 2nd of 3rd time down, I got whipped by a small branch or something right in the knuckle on my pinky finger. The chunder was making it hurt a little too much by the end of each trail. Meh, still a great day on the bike.
Did a lap with @mykel. We'll need to do more next time...
Oh, would you look at that, it appears to be beer-o-clock.
(They named this beer after some local trails.....which ten years later I'm still waiting for someone to take me on a good tour of the place). Also not sure if I agree with their choice of bike for the label...

Thanks to you and @AngryMetalsmith I am craving some Thai. But am too lazy/tired to drive another 20 minutes to get the good stuff.
older kid moved up a belt in rex kwon do this morning. now he's at a sleepover so we're combining forces with friends who have a son old enough to babysit, sticking our younger son with him, and we're all going out for indian fooooooood.
Where? I like good Thai.
did that thought include the mental image of bender rag dolling a drop.....?
Interesting... not been to that one yet. On the list!
Le tired after 31.5 miles above 10000ft going from Kenosha Pass to Breckenridge with @Adventurous and my wife. Thankfully no snow up top despite some nearby peaks being covered in fresh white stuff.
@Nick @Full Trucker , we couldn't spot any of the rare Rocky Mountain variety despite peering down into the valley for a couple of minutes.
Trestle for some DH tomorrow.

Rode in Kelso today. Do you ever ride there?Great day at the hill. Clouds kept the temperatures down at a reasonable level. Had to cut the day short, though.

The climb up Fremont peak kicked my ass. it took over an hour to go 11 miles and gain 3000 feet. the ride back down was a blast
Making the ride is what count.
Put gas on the car and got it washed that is about all I have done today. Family returns tomorrow.

Haven't ridden there since I broke my hand about 7-9 years ago.
Would ride again....when are you in town?
Post work ride was rained out so napping skills were honed instead.
Not a great month for riding, haven't broken 10 rides yet. Last year I banged out 21 rides in August.
And I too had Thai tonight, but not from the place across from the trailhead.

Wednesday or Thursday.

I've never done it as a point-to-point but have ridden the whole route. And yeah... that ride kicks ass. Esp the descent off GA Pass to Middle Fork. Man is that fun.
dang. I'm at 22 for the year, not counting a weekend at snowshoe, but i enjoyed the hell out of every one and 12 of them were at wilsons and 2 pisgah proper.
that puts me well a head of pace for last year unless this fall is utterly horrible.
I don't keep track... mainly 'cause I'm pretty sure it would be depressing.
108 total rides so far this year.
I hear ya on the quality over quantity though. Some of the local stuff is ridden to maintain fitness, do recovery rides, or just to keep endorphin withdrawal at bay. Although the trail options are limited it still beats riding a road bike.
I could potentially swing a ride on Thursday evening after work.
Trying it right now.
Edit: @Toshi - you were right on. That shit is GOOD eatin'. And cheap. I think we have a winner!
