Done rode the EWS80 race in Derby. And are feeling rather broken. Stayed on the bike but it was a big day riding some rather challenging trails.
The beer and burger afterwards did taste rather good after close to 6 hours on the bike.

The trails there are super fun to ride. With a good mix of tech and fast/flow. They had a lot of 5-7 minute stages with the last stage of the day being around 10 minutes, that one was brutal.

Got 9th out of 14 in the 40 plus age group which I’m happy with as I wasn’t pushing hard and haven’t had a lot of time on the bike lately. Hell I wasn’t even going to race it but a mate wanted some company and talked me into it and then pulled out a week or so ago.

Not even 8 am and I've already swapped out the wheels on the megatrail. Bye bye winter wheels. Supposed to be low 70's today. Planning on riding.

5ish inches of fresh snow here, might try a loop on the fat bike if it's rideable out there.

Awake. Would totally go skiing, but Wifey is out-of-town and I have nobody to leave Hannah with. Guess I'm doing more work around the house.

Rain and more rain today. Going to Blue Jay's game in the nosebleed section. Because why not, what else are ya supposed to do when the sky is falling.

Maybe I can bleed one of my brakes before I get into beerz...

Phone rang at 6 am. Had to talk the wife though unlocking the generator rack on the camper. Removing the cover . connecting the camper power cable to the honda generator. Relocking the generator to the rack then firing it up. Now she has power for the tea kettle and blow dryer. My excitement for the day has now ended as I get to spend the rest of the day on the couch with my leg elevated . Broken legs suck.

It’s my same old Land Cruiser. Bought it back from my ex-neighbor to keep as a third vehicle.

Mornin!

Caught Le Réve last night so we could add to our Vegas experience. Gotta hit the road to Death Valley today, but I must admit that this is a fun town.

'Morning. I am tired and sore on account of a 16+ mile run at a swift 6:55 avg pace. Two weeks until the Boston Marathon. I'll be happy when it's done. Training for this fucking thing has been tiring.

Also, I've got all the windows in the house open for the first time this year and the wind is blowing shit all over the place and the cats are in the windows and it's all good.

I have been fighting the worst flu I've ever had for the last few days, and I spent $3450 and the whole afternoon yesterday changing tires on my work truck yesterday.

Today, it's 70+ freedoms outside albeit a bit windy. I'd rather be riding or digging outside, but I've been loading myself up with Theraflu and Smirnoff to feel better about myself instead.

May your weekend be better than mine.
