Need to do a bike ride today to stretch the legs after last weekends gravel bonanza.
Starting vacation on Friday. First stop will be Berlin.

Good morning, imo. I rode the tri bike last night for 18 miles...my right leg was achy and tired thanks to PT beating the snot out of it. Then I hit the pool early this morning and had an unexpectedly fast-for-me swim. Good times.
Halfway through week 2 in Salida. Ridden so much tough singletrack!!!!! Highest we've hit is 11'582 feet. This place is awesome!!!! Buffalo Creek is next week I think.
I rode my bike moped to work today. Had some guy comment about being dropped before I pointed out the motor. Thinking about attaching a pool noodle to my seatstays with a big dildo on the end to keep drivers from coming too close. I think that would be effective.

Hoping to join a social ride this evening if I manage to escape the office hell early enough. Gonna be a hot one, upper 80s in the forecast.
beat those legs into submission!
Morning. Tired. Was officially pinned yesterday by the Sheriff, so that was cool.
Time to get my backpacks and weights out to start getting into shape for hunting season..... pretty sure I will incorporate the hardtail for some of the backwoods areas this year

my dad used to use his bike for hunting. he modified a rear rack to hold his tree stand. no single track, but he was riding a few miles out some old (closed to vehicles) logging roads to this field he found and was pretty much always stacked with deer.
Need to ride today, @Nick @Full Trucker either of you planning anything later?
Lately I'm mentally toast by 5pm. I'll let you know later, no plan at the moment.
Holy heatwave Batman. Gonna be in the upper 80s for the next couple days plus our typical WNY humidity.

Rain last 2 days has been a nice change, but weather looks perfect this weekend. Packing clothes tonight, getting truck packed, and will be ready to roll out tomorrow after work.
Looking forward to getting out of the house for a bit at least.

Anyone getting weird login errors? I got a message about my account being temporarily frozen due to failed login attempts. Are the Russians trying to hack my RM account??? 
Also... got carried away with some super spicy salsa last night. Paying the price this morning.

Might still be too early for 401, Scofield Pass only just melted out, so the trail higher up in the trees could still be snowy/muddy.

Strange, I pay money to put pine needles in my yard, but you are probably dealing with Wild fire issues.

After speaking with my son and his discus coach, he has decided not to go to Nationals, instead, he will throw at the Georgia Games. This eases the pressure on trying to get on the road for vacation. On another related note, a college coach has made a preliminary inquiry about my son to his current/private coach.
FTS is strong today, which is not good on the eve of a product launch tournament for our E-sports group.
I have ridden 25 days in a row, with plans to ride another 20 to really shore up my chances of winning that super understated Slash on PB.
I really need to add stretching to my routine. One of these days...
I'm starting to think I will get all of those rides in before GG will have my size 2 ready to roll. Grumble.

stop enabling him.
I was watering this weekend and my can kept getting clogged so I kept blowing in the spout to clear it. went to fill it and saw it was a dead mouse clogging the spout.

Oh, and it seems my riding frequency is actually starting to take a toll on the bike. I managed to maim one of my pedals a few months back with a drunken attempt at "maintenance". I managed to get them back together and they've been running smoothly for a while. I forget which I messed up at the time, but my drive side pedal has started sounding like pepper mill. Pretty unpleasant. I'm pretty sure it's toast. Given that I've cross threaded the pedal body onto that little collar, I think I will put them out to pasture. Don't drink and thread.
Good thing I bough new XTs to install on my new GG! They are not seen the light of day... New bike day will be a little less fresh, I guess.

after my double herniation its the only thing keeping me walking upright.
Have only ridden twice since my big gravel weekend, gotta get back on the horse tonight.
A little mid-summer burnout, time to overcome!

Still waiting on Pivot for the cracked rear triangle. So I must pedal, er, walk the climbs all on my own.
I do not like this.
Probably just upped his intake from 2 drunken noodles/mile to 7 drunken noodles/mile to compensate.
