Garden work, hopefully sans bees. Maybe a ride this afternoon?

- Start date
Hoping to get a ride in before the rain.
Woken up by MIL snoring. Getting ready to leave shortly for final leg of the drive home - Vegas to Denver. Should take about 11-12hrs, so I want to leave early. On the third book of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. It really is a great novel.
Why not both? bunker brewing is close by too. And Austin st and lone pine are maybe another 5 minutes
Forecast says an inch of rain or 4" of snow, so riding today or tomorrow is likely not happening...
Freeport is on my permanent kill list though it might be bearable at moment.
Love lone pine and will pick some up from the local fish market, who’s put together a killer selection of local beers.
ride with the elusive vinnycactus in the books. prolly the only decent day this week. rain/t storms in the forecast next few days. trails dried out pretty well. still super humid. now for some yardwork/fam time...beers
supposed to hit 90 today followed by 3 days in the low 100s time to fire up the house AC methinks
going for a ride in a few

All of those breweries are at the edge of the downtown area, easy access from 295. You'll pass Austin st on your way to lone pine from Bissell, so why not? And bunker is tucked out of the way too
Yes.
has it started raining up by you?
odds on it blowing over?
Slim, and slim's getting wet.
Might push riding to tomorrow, ground is still pretty wet.
We've had two waves of moderate rain in the last hour. And the sky just keeps getting darker.
did you try the fish fry at Lake House?
I did. It was good. Would likely have been *really* good if it hadn't been boxed up.did you try the fish fry at Lake House?
Definitely going to head back once they re-open for dine-in. They have a really nice patio on the lake-side.
I've decided I really like building bikes. Putting together the kid hauler was soothing and it's so much fun waiting for new parts to arrive. I know I have bought and sold a fuckton of bikes over the years, but I'm learning now that part of the joy is just building them up and seeing how they do. It's pretty dumb pissing away money by upgrading a thing and then selling it after some time, but I now understand that this is part of the hobby for me.
Hopefully some road miles after lunch, it's beautiful outside.

How about llf at 5:30pm today?
Yesterday I did the same ride that @6thElement and his missus did the day before, followed by housing a pizza and some delicious IPA from a local. My legs aren’t pleased with me today.
Gotta say, buying beers curbside vs wading through a sea of overall and neckbeard wearing hipsters is a huge improvement.

HEY. Ran 18 miles this morning at a 6:51 pace. HUZZAH. Fixing to take a bicycle out for a spin this afternoon.
You should continue the trend and do the ride we did yesterday
The pizza and beer sounds good, although our bison burgers last night were equally so.
pretty sure we're gonna not do our annual maine trip this summer since there's apparently no end in sight to the 14 day quarantine period for maine. those fuckers are going to destroy their primary economic season.Gotta say, buying beers curbside vs wading through a sea of overall and neckbeard wearing hipsters is a huge improvement.

One of my favorite series. I took great umbrage at the movie they released a few years ago, it was hot trash and didn't do a fabulous series justice.
You did a big mixed surface ride on the gravel bikes, right? My… uh… Gravel bike has a flat tire? it’s in the shop for repairs? Whatever, hard pass. You guys are animals.You should continue the trend and do the ride we did yesterday

Being illiterate, I’ve never read the books. But I did find the movie mildly entertaining… But I have trash taste in movies so YMMV.
I wouldn’t decide one way or other yet, I think that 14 day thing will be gone by end of June.
restaurants are open around here again as are campgrounds ettc (though just ME res for now).
Hopefully it works out so we can ride.
Haven't seen the movie nor read the books. Guess I should put that on my library list, eh?
Grey rainy day here today. Making overnight cinnamon rolls for the eldest spawn's 19th. Making homemade manicotti shells because what the fuck else I got to do?
Also - more homemad mozzarella today. Again, because fuck you.
Tasked the eldest with planning out the irrigation system for the garden... he's done fuck-all with it. Rather play video games. Shocker.
These are the kind of cranky posts I come here for
Probably because having a bunch of diseased mouth breathers showing up causing everything to close back up would be worse.
Awesome ride today with the wheel builder guy and his lady friend. Showed then around the maze of trails I call home - I think they thoroughly enjoyed it.
Had an embarrassing moment on the smallest bump of a jump. Foot came unclipped midair and whilst trying to not eat shit, my right calf got wedged in the tire and seat stay. That'll be a nice coloured bruise tomorrow...

I can't ride clipped on a mountain bike because I'm hot dogging everything, often to disastrous results.
Rode a nice 2 hour 30 miler in the wind this morning...beer time
