Crazy storms overnight and a layer of hail over everything this morning. Now expecting snow today...

Rain coming...
woke up to a serious calf cramp this morning, fooker hurt. time for coffee
Fantastic freaking weekend.
My boss quit on Thursday. Took Friday off to get the AC and furnace serviced, then got 15yds of dirt to fill in some sink holes and craft a little berm out front. Moved about 7-8yds of dirt with a shovel and wheelbarrow.
Got my new weird ebike and went for a rip on it. So fast but why the fuck does anybody buy anything SRAM? Trash components.
Got another ride on my road bike which was OK and my weird frenchie shoes and pedals finally didn't hurt.
Pretty good weekend overall

Good Morning!!
Happy to be back at work...pressure switch on the washing machine failed - leaving it to overflow for about 3hrs in our basement.....finished basement, that is.....or used to be.
The whole weekend was removing wet carpet and padding. So gross.

Although a shit-ton of hail fell apparently it was small enough to not damage cars in my neighborhood. I am tired from having been up for an hour for that, feeding kid 3 a bottle at 4:30-5, then waking up not 45 minutes later to my alarm.
Morning Monkeys.
Got the front transmission u joint replaced and that helped a TON with the road going vibration. Also got a laundry list of steering and suspension parts I need to replace. So building my shopping list, but sourcing parts for a '78 P30 isn't as straight forward as I would like.
Put street tires on Lil Mans bike after he skid through his Comp III's. He was excited, so we rode around so he could see how much faster his tires were.

You know what would help that? A 4th kid.
Meanwhile... in Colorado, with 1-2 feet on the way for the northern mountains:
They are awfully cute. But nah. 3 is plenty.You know what would help that? A 4th kid.

'Morning. Feeling particularly crabby after a lousy night of sleep, and since I wasn't sleeping well it made getting up at 5:00 to go swim pretty easy this morning. I'm going to crash hard this afternoon.
What's with the Peloton workouts I see people posting to Strava where their average watts are like 250-300 for an hour? You know, people who then ride outside at 13-14 mph on the road? I'd be lucky if I could hold 250 watts for 60 seconds.

Pretty good weekend overall for me. Went riding with some monkeys till we got rained out, hit up a brewery, put new tires on the fat bike, pig roast at a fellow monkey's house, drank some brews, got some sun, and hung out with family.
I am le tired.

just installed XT M8000. aside from having to dremel out this weird ridge on the cassette to clear the spokes (but that was more of a hub issue TBH), i've had no other issues with it.
are you fucking for real? even i can do that no problem. what's your average power output?
Nathan Rennie was on a podcast a few months back talking about he was once evaluated by some sports science institute and put out something absurd like 2100 watts.
dear colorado,
mtb season is cancelled. please continue plank based sliding activities. except Toshi, who declared the season over months ago. no snow for you!
Signed,
The Management
Only place still open is A-Basin, and this is how much snow they've gotten today:
Not sure if that'll inline. The Cliffs Notes are bupkis.

Fair enough. Ain't nobody but Full Trucker got time for skinning, though
a friend of mine from college lives up around crusty butt and she's still skinning and splitboarding.
Breck is also still open. But maybe just the weekend at this point?
Dear Delta Mainline,
If you want/expect me to work on your sad ass Airbus products, please maintain and or/provide the appropriate tooling. No matter how badly I might want too, I will never be able to replace a 500lb main wheel by myself, by hand, with your leaking bottle jack. Until such time, GFYS.
Love,
COSMX.

I think Purgatory is still open on weekends. That's a long drive though.
Mornin!
Its official, the wifey and I will be swinging back through CO in July. I'm not arrogant enough to suggest a ride or anything, but who's up for a beer?
Otherwise, just hanging out outside of Portland. Maybe we'll go in today, maybe well bypass for now and go east into the Columbia River gorge.

I think if we added up all the minutes you spend chasing down Kare Pan and Drunken Noodles or whatever, we could find you enough time to skin up a hill or even pedal a bike...
Mental health is crumbling. I need a break.
Tornado tore through my project in the Plains Sunday night. No injuries but plenty of damage, and fuxxored my day off. Sigh.
Toshi: skinning is dangerously close to exercise. Too risky. I wouldn't chance it.
Aspen is reopening for the weekend, or so I hear.

Haha, I resemble that comment
I hear the conditions in Post Canyon are about perfect if you are heading towards Hood River.
My FTP is 200. I averaged 167 watts for the 100 miles at 19 mph I did this past Saturday.
Gonna have to look into that. We're going to head east towards Hood River, then turn south and head towards Mount Hood. Try to see all that we can before scooting back to the coast and up into Washington.
Why not both? Shoot... make sure you're here on a Tuesday and we'll even have tacos for the trifecta!
Let's ride!
Ah, if only random time scraped from the beginning of the day could be saved and added up into a full day on the hill.
Places that are still open:
- not Breck. They were open through yesterday, Memorial Day, which shall be their new closing date in future years
- not Aspen. They opened last weekend and will open next weekend (!), but nothing midweek.
- not Loveland, not Mary Jane, etc.
- not Purgatory, as they opened this past weekend as a one off, apparently
A-Basin is the lone standing actually open place.
disclaimer: the only power meter i have is on my stationary trainer. but i'm consistently averaging 190-210 watts on rides that are 10-15 "miles".
Granby Ranch allegedly open for DH (on bicycles not planks) this coming weekend...
In all seriousness, I'm not going to ski anywhere where there isn't avalanche control by ski patrol. That's the risk, not me keeling over.
