At the showgrounds in my camper drinking coffee and putting on my EMT uniform. I would rather be getting ready to go ride my bike
Knew we'd be out late last night so I preemptively took today off. Motivation at critically low levels.
Who allowed it to be Sunday already?
Also. Unseasonably cool today. Not supposed to break 60. Currently 56°.
rode. slowly. energy levels were low. humidity was high. not sure what’s up next...
So this morning was not fruitful..... Friday and Saturday I found myself hiking 22.2 miles in the crazy mountains, also nothing but a good time none the less.....
My home for two days...

Torrential downpour last night. Hmmph
Exercise! Ran a hilly 5K race in 19:37 yesterday, though the course was long (3.18 miles) so that cost me about 30 seconds. Still a good race. 3rd place overall. This morning I rode the tri bike 65 miles (19.6 mph) followed by a 5.4 mile run, all at a pretty hard effort. Good times. I had to layer up on the bike ride. Tights, arm warmers, gloves, and a long sleeve shirt under the jersey. 50 degrees!
Clearly the Bills are on their way to the Super Bowl.
Rainy weekend has been a good one for sitting on the trainer and watching world championships.
That's a pretty big loop!
How is the 403 descent to Gothic Rd?
How is the 403 descent to Gothic Rd?
Based on the pictures, meh.
I'd last done 403 10 years ago and vaguely recalled the final stretch being steep.
After riding it again today I think a good chunk of the dirt has washed away in the last decade. Steep, plenty of loose rocks on it too. You actually get higher up on 403 than you do at the top of 401.
It's a brake cooker fo sho.
edit: The descent at mile 12 is the final stretch down to Gothic. 403 started at ~8.7 miles.

Got my data logger working... Rode with @Bunnista, who was on fire, and Ruby the dog. Drinking an Alchemist Beelzebub American imperial stout.

Little girl doing things that lead to STEM interest? I'll let it take over if she wants it to.don’t let it take over...one day i’ll snap a pic of our 13yo’s room...
She's been telling me that she wants to go to Cal. I told her that smart isn't enough, you have to work incredibly hard and never give up. The Legos and now Technics/Kinex are on that track.
oh, don’t get me wrong, i think in concept legos are awesome for creativity, engineering, etc...just not when they are all a kid wants for presents for 8 years, plus you’ve given them all of your old ones, and they cover every surface and inch of floor in the room and gather massive amounts of dust...
tuning up the bike and drinking burial ipasssss
Got a ride in before the monsoon hits. Maybe I can squeeze one in tomorrow as well.
Fucking 5 year old water heater decided to take a shit tonight. Draining whats left outside using a garden hose. Probably lost 5 gallons onto the garage floor before we caught it. Showering in the camper is the back up option
