Morning, that is all!

Spent last night getting ready for her first horse show this weekend.She's been struggling jumping since she took a hard fall a year ago. The trainer realized she was yanking on the reigns before jumps in fear and the horse was stopping. I told her I'm going to take her mountain biking to help her realize you just have to let the bike or the horse roll over things. He's a good at jumping and a great horse all around but she was telling him the wrong things.

Grandma passed away last night. It has been a long time coming and she had hung on for a lot longer than anyone expected her to. She was 98 and lived a full long life. Now I have to find something nice to wear to the services and get a haircut.

Sorry to hear that.

Feeling only half awake. I hope I don't get called in to cover for my shitheel co-worker, whose retirement is unfortunately still only 5 months away.

Yesterday around 2:30 she decided that she was kind of feeling sick, but not enough to call in sick officially (which would mean she gets correspondingly less academic time, the weekday time during which I write papers/ski/bike). She just wanted less work to do. I protested but we ultimately let her have her way this time.

dentist land if i remember correctly?

 

[canadmos]

Some donkey in their rusted out lifted bro truck Dodge Ram from 2000ish era met an unfortunate end this morning on the freeway. From the looks of it, the front suspension/axle complately collapsed and separated from the frame. Oops. Thank you for backing up traffic, bro.

Planning on riding tonight with some buddies. One of them has not touched a bike since we went to Pennsylvania last year. This should be interesting; this is of course assuming that his bike works and his tires still hold air.

Work is absolutely freakin' chaos right now. Working on a big project, which should be completing tomorrow. Its been like orchestrating an opera the last few days. Having contractors and two buildings and trying to manage that by myself has been....eye twinging type stress. This is all reflected in the current state of my office. It looks like a bomb went off in here.

Rained last night i think, trails should be nice on Friday.

 

[SkaredShtles]

dentist land if i remember correctly?

Mostly. I think some "sports figures" may also live up there.

totally. I used to live just outside the canyon. poached the trails once when I was the FNG in town. cool stuff.
I'd live in there (or DC canyon) if I could afford it.

Used + Avy?

 

[slyfink]

Last night's ride...

I hadn't been there before. My buddies told me it's all smooth and flat. So I took my rigid SS. The reality is that its all on canadian shield, very rocky terrain, with lots of short, steep punchy climbs. My back got one hell of a workout. Traps, lats, and erector spinae are friggin stiff this morning.

Still, it was a great season opener. Only one week between fatbiking on snow to riding on dirt (well, rock). Sweet!

Tough man, my condolences. Its already somehow been over a year since mine passed but i still feel it.

Used + Avy?

I thought about getting a float X and having avy drop their hi/lo adjuster in it (plus tune) for 600 (300shock +300 tune). I have loved all the avy stuff I've owned and ridden, but I either get tunability and no climb switch or climb switch with limited tunability. The x2 has both in a factory model.

Bonus points for the shape of the trail, minus the tumor.

Freshies on the toilet at work!
Today reminds me of cyclocross. I like cyclocross days. On these days the canyon is devoid of indignant roadies.
Today is going to be a good. -ice cube

Cant get the bead on a new tire onto my rim. I don’t have my heat gun cuz it’s on loan. Afraid to pry too much but had to give up.
Any tricks?

Can't get it to seat or you can't get the bead of the tire around the hoop?

Pry it (harder) now.

leave the tire in a hot sunny spot today, and then try after it gets warm.

and you are having trouble getting the tire to seat with a tube in it?

It won’t pull over the rim. Once I can get the 4” section to pop in I’m good
