Morning.
Beautiful day today, ready to hit it fast and strong!!!
I am extremely sympathetic to opiate addicts. I haven't slept like that in years.
Morning Monkeys.
It's Friday, long weekend. Yay.

It's Friday and monkeys know how it do.
Morning y'all. Nasty bug has been going around the office, think I caught it but I seem to have powered throught it in a few days. Seems my immune system was happy to have something to beat up on other than my skin and joints. Good thing to, Shenandoah Mountain 100 on Sunday, looks like it is going to be a wet one.
Hai. So... definitely won't be working here any more after September 30 when our management contract expires with the building owners, who have a new guy running the show, who looks like Robert DeNiro...as the Penguin in Batman, and he sounds like he's going to change everthing here, and not necessarily for the better. I'm still hoping to get a job with the company I currently work for... it just depends on whether or not they are able to purchase a new property for our team... *sigh* it's not easy playing the waiting game... 
Also... we had a flash flood in the parking lot last night--I filled my boots on my way to the car!!!

Met PolandSpring88 for his introductory "welcome to Colorado, start climbing" ride. After an early, umm, adjustment he was fine. 
He's one of those fit healthy youngster types. Anyway, good climb, long descent, winner winner.
Sorry SS, we'll hit up DC soon.
OK, time to get some work done.

PS - Those rides are fun aren't they? I only thought my heart was going to explode like 10 times in the first 500 yeards.Met PolandSpring88 for his introductory "welcome to Colorado, start climbing" ride. After an early, umm, adjustment he was fine.
Nick - Where'd you take him? White Ranch at 12:00pm in 97* weather? Because only a bastard would do that.
No. (although the thought crossed my mind)
We hit Apex: argos> pick'n'sledge> sluicebox> up apex> down EF>down the gut. It was cool and overcast when we started, pretty hot by the time we started to head down.
Maybe of interest to you: he rides a single ring up front, so 33x34 is his granny. I think he's crazy and he definitely worked/suffered a bit, but in the end he climbed everything.
Hopefully he chimes in ... my guess is he's taking a nap.

Checking in! Had to go get a dining room table when I got back, part of that happy wife (she wishes) happy life thing.
That was a damned good ride. After the barfies things were much better. I can't wait to get out and do some more, that climb was a bear but manageable. Thanks for showing me around Nick!

It was only after I pulled some east coast sh!t and hammered up a section that I realized we weren't in Massachusetts anymore and I still had to climb a pile after that. Rookie mistake.
Patience young grasshopper, he's only been in town 2 days.
ooh, tough crowd, I tell ya.
the kid is a hammer, he'll do fine here.
i asked my brother about keeping a bike in colorado in his garage for when i visit....between the moto..his bikes/wives bikes...landcruiser....no room in the inn.
i'd probably die anyway.
Pic of said landcruiser? Older one?
it's a 95....
Jeezus. That's a quality "welcome to Colorado" ride.
Oh - and you bastids can f**k off.
Deer Crik was $$ this morning. Deserted. Just the way it should be...
Ride Report deserves to be visited some more. That ride ruled... http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/f118/high-country-co-ss-full-trucker-244768/
With the added bonus of tech skills too
Minus those switchback thingies. All I could picture was Wade Simmons doing those 180 degree nose wheelies around the corners. I thought about trying that, but figured it would end up as an OTB with a cactus to the ball sack.With the added bonus of tech skills too
So WTF is wrong with that? That $hit happens all the time 'round here...
