Not sure if it's just me but 3 hour mtb vs 3 hour road is just not the same with mtb just being that much tougher. I still feel my long ride from yesterday and slept late too. Not complaining it's great to feel tired this way. I just wish I lived in an area with longer trails as yesterday part of the ride is on the road to and from the trail.

No plans today beside drinking coffee and maybe a trip to the gym.

We finally got a little rain. The trails should be primo.
Found a couple guys yesterday that were rather talkative, holy shit. I think the one farmer would have jogged beside my truck to keep chatting.

Might go look at a Can-Am Defender today, we'll see.

Getting ready to cut my hair and the wife is not on board with me rocking a luscious mullet for a day. What a downer.

Stayed in bed for 8 hours last night. Let's see if that helps with fatigue I've been feeling recently. I can't sit down without my eyes closing.

 

[JohnE]

THursday already off to an interesting start. Three day weekend looms...lets see what other weirdness comes my way...

 

[jstuhlman]

I have a couple of days off in a couple of weeks, but I have a high workload combined with corporate presentation fun! It's crunch time right now

i still have 2 1/2 weeks of PTO to use by year end. 4 of those for xmas, 5 for a dive trip which is probably getting pushed to january (i can roll 5 over for first quarter),

 

[eric strt6]

nailed down the dates for our trip to the Kentucky Dressage Finals. Now to tell the boss I'm taking 0ff 17 days in a row. He either agrees or the 30th of Oct is my last day. Frankly I'm fine with either outcome

Germ-tube Thursday.

PSA: take your fucking backpack off BEFORE getting on tthe plane!

 

[I Are Baboon]

What's up there, Captain Sparky! I ran 6.2 miles this morning before the sun came up. It was a lovely 44 degrees. I'll get a bike workout done at some point during the working hours. Hooray WFH!!

 

[canadmos]

Great ride last night. Trails are dusty dry - not a great combo for riding at night with bright lights. Just had to be out front to not get white out blasted.

Now for this work crap. Motivation is not high.

 

[stoney]

Benefits fair this am. Took Haley to the race shop yesterday to figure out sizing for her race suit next year. She found a Sparco one that matches her kart perfectly, so she wants that one. She understands *why* we need to get grandparents involved with Xmas for stuff, because the gear she wants isn't cheap, but she would still like arts and crafts miscellany. Kids...

 

[4xBoy]

Busting out a bunch of parts, been here since 4:30 should be caught up by tomorrow quitting time.

slept like the dead. I should be caught up with work by end of day, which is a relief. Gotta get a couple o' rides in this weekend.

Bittersweet morning. Surrounded by boxes in a home that isn't mine anymore. Lots of feelings and memories tied up in this place, both good and bad. I spent probably an hour yesterday talking with the family down the street that bought this place, and they are so super excited and I feel good about that. Going to be a busy weekend.

[AngryMetalsmith]

Yeah, yeah, yeah French Press something or another, humph.

 

[jonKranked]

looking like some rain is in the forecast for saturday's century.... i have road rain pants, and 2 rain jackets. a superlight old DH one from Royal, and a nice Enduro Singletrack jacket, which is also hooded, but might also be overkill?

Do either have pit zips ? I’d take the one that is moar water resistant. A wetted out jacket is just dead weight.

the endura one does, but the royal one has a large vent across the back, as how old DH rain slickers were configured BITD

Now to tell the boss I'm taking 0ff 17 days in a row.

why, she knows already as she's planning on riding

PSA: take your fucking backpack off BEFORE getting on tthe plane!

y tho. taking it off once in one's row is not that difficult

/me dropped off the babykins at preschool as usual, via e-cargo bike. working 8-12 from home. then off to ride a trail. any of you locals free for an early afternoon ride?

 

[6thElement]

Rush hour airport run :/

 

[Westy]

Got asked to work on a project that I don't want to work on and see little value in. Then I got asked to do a bunch of dumb paperwork and jump through hoops to get said project approved by the people who asked me to go work it.

Would be a real shame if I did a half-assed job on that.

 

[Nick]

work

 

[gonefirefightin]

a few days in New Mexico is about all I can handle of this dump, moving out today. fishing was good and the chilies were awesome but its not enough to keep me here.

 

[jimmydean]

Morning Monkeys.

It's been raining for days and will continue to until April. Going to look at a car at lunch I have no intention of buying but fuck work. A guy we hired a few months ago for this big networking project has been out sick almost the entire time. He was supposed to have code for me this week but it seems our health care system sucks (shocker) so he's flying back to Croatia and will let us know what's up in a few days. The first sprint ends tomorrow, I have little hope of having anything by then.

I assume the route is along E-470?

 

[Nick]

I've been traveling a shit ton this past month. Drive to DIA usually take 3-40 minutes, from Golden. Drive HOME at 5:30 last week took 1.5 hours. Because people.
