I had an all time day last time I did Bennett and Black despite puncturing my tubeless right in the tread then flatting two mid-weight tubes--apparently I am both fat and hackish. Regardless, that's prob my favorite loop out there and I'm very jealous.

Dude from other department:
Hey, can you have your department run a fire drill for that thing we talked about months ago, but didn't give you any feedback on until yesterday? I need it by Monday.

Me:
No.

400+ gigs of new music software downloaded and installed last night. Time to drink Monster and sequence until my fingers fall off and my ears melt.

Looking at doing Bennett and Black, probably. Haven't hit Bennett since last spring, when I was able to get to it twice before it closed.

I haven't hit Bennett since I lived up there. This is the ride I wanna do before 4/15:

Start at ranger station
Up Clawhammer
Left on Black Mountain
Down Avery
Up dirt road pass Bennett
Right on Club Gap for some hike-a-bike
Down Buckwheat
Down Bennett
Back to Ranger Station

For my slow climbing ass this will require staying in a hotel the night before so I can start early and not have to lose sleep for driving.

Yeah, I liked Bennett, and Black's on my bucket list.

Other classics in that part of Pisgah are Farlow/Daniel and, a little further north, Pilot.

A little bit east of Asheville, Heartbreak is another classic.

I prefer to ride in the Wilson Creek area most of the time, just to the east of Linville Gorge - it's a bit closer to me, and gets much less traffic. There are a ton of great, rugged routes out there.

For today's moderate physical activity I did a moderate 6 mile hike in an hour and 45 minutes, I actually ran for 2 minutes because questions on an assessment always seem like a challenge to me. Sustained winds at 29 miles per hours made skipping the bike a good decision.

When I started my diet one of the things that pissed me off was that my waist and ass were too big to fit into a pair of nearly brand new baggie shorts size XL. I tried them on today. the damn things are baggy everywhere:banana::banana::banana:

I had to crank down the drawstring to keep them on. This keeps up and I will have to go shopping for a size large pair.:thumb:

Walked 7 miles today, ate 1000 calories

Time to hit the weights

Fat, sir, is a feminist issue.

to us older guys it ( the loss thereof) is a survival issue. Heart attacks and or major bypass surgery, and diabetes are a suck rock reality. I saw warning signs and took action. SM is just trying to survive and recover. It killed our Fat Lawyer friend.

I have to agree, I was 35 lbs overweight and pretty active; excess poundage is the number one controllable for just about everything that slows you down.
