After work ride angered the back gods.
Nice to get out but humidity sucked.
My bike was not enjoying the low speed tech trails, the suspensions just not set up for that type of riding.
Good time in any event, smashed lots of rocks, sweated out my sins and avoided another dinner with in-laws.

Mornin!
Setup my old bike last night with a front derailleur. I cannot remember the last time I had to setup a front derailleur. Anyway, both bikes are loaded on the truck as my older brother flies into town this morning and I'm playing hooky so we can get out and ride Buff Creek. So many wins!

ride night has been switched to tonight. it's going to be dry and dusty. I'm going to drag ass since my kid was up for an hour last night and I woke at a quarter to 6. 
Tell Matt I said hi.
Finished the edging/weeding last night for the last portion of my property to be completely re-landscaped. ~1,500 sq ft of landscape fabric to be put down tonight. 10 yards of stone to be delivered tomorrow.
gaaaaahhhhhhh
Good morning Monkies. Today I have reserved time at the LBS to help me dial in neutral for my bikes, the last shock I had was a coil and it was super easy to set, my last fork was also coil and even easier to dial in. I have not done well with the Sid or Fox 32, the Pike was very easy to set up but left me dissatisfied my results on the other 2. If there is time left I'm going to see if I can get a quick primer on the bleeding of the brakes. Then I am going to ride the Giggle Pig until my legs shut down. That's about 2.5 hours. 
Morning Monkeys.
Should be a good day today. Getting a hang of this whole deal and have even made some serious progress and it is still my first month. I'd better slow down before I set realistic expectations. Morning meeting canceled, so already its a good day.
Moar coffee indeed.

I got that damn eye twitch going today. 
Starting to get some real speed into the road bike. 23.5 miles with 22.7 mph average. Road more after that but at a slower pace to cool down. Still behind last years best times but getting close. I just need a little more endurance but I also don't want strain something just to go a little faster.
Morning 5k with dog#3. Need to get out and catch up with yard work. It's a jungle out there what with us being gone camping two weekends in a row. Just as well too. Not sure what I did but wife is on the fucking war path this morning.

LMGTFY links generally work better when the search query isn't a URL itself. That's one step too awkward to be a burn.

Working here. The heat is starting to creep in again. Tonight is the premier of Not2bad here in Yakistan. Going to try and avoid copious amounts of fruit so I may enjoy the show... and others around me may enjoy it also.
Back from the LBS. Turns out I had the Sid about right for local conditions but was running the other 2 way too soft at both ends. Curb hucking and barrier rolling in parking lot before and after adjustments were promising. I was running 200 to 210 in the rear, we settled on 250 for both GT and Yeti. Now I'm off to ride the Giggle Pig for a few hours.
yes, yes it will.

Todays ride was the best so far on the Yeti, running the rear end too soft with slow rebound was my issue. Increased psi and faster rebound virtually eliminated pedal bob and I don't think I clipped the pedals once. Stiffer suspension also makes the bike easier to handle on twisty single track. I also learned how to bust a Nobby Nic rear tire loose and almost crapped my pants before it dug in again. Much success. Tomorrow I'll take the GT out for the same ride.
Just one more day of this crap at work. Yesterday I was there from 7am-10pm. Got here today at 6am and am most likely leaving at 10pm, again. Then have to be back here tomorrow morning at 6am.

Rolling to Angel Fire, NM for the ProGRT with a cooler of beer, a couple bicycles, and no time we gotta be home, in this Audacious piece of machinery:

15 miles this evening, I lead a group of fast skilled riders. You know you had fun in the rocks when your average heart rate gets above 140bpm and everyone finishes tired and thirsty.
Holy crap was it hot in the sauna, I mean woods. No pants in the bongshed kind of hot. Did I mention the heat ?
