Had a good ride on Perry Hill in Waterbury yesterday.
Woke up to angry child. Enjoying the new wall mount to our TV. In-law's are going home today. I start my new work schedule tomorrow, working normal hours now (815-445), so I will be able to do my workouts in the morning.
Decent ride yesterday, though the best part got nixed by a huge foot race on the best trail. I'm not even angry though, anybody who would run 50km on those trails deserves to not have a bike in their way for one day.
I've had a wall mount for my tv for years. Maybe I'll install it someday.
Possible DH today.
Also, day 1 of a beer-fast. Let's see how this goes.

day 3 is the hardest . Morning , dh big bear yesterday I got 6 runs in and then my fork exploded . Where's dirtymike when you need him to fix things
.today's agenda is do nothing .
why? Why would someone do such a thing?
Where'd you ride?
Mornin!
Hiked yesterday. Had to tend to someones dog that ripped pads on 3 out of his 4 paws. Poor puppy.
Pretty sure I've seen more shirtless/just in sports bras chicks here in Boulder than I have in my entire life. Pr0n withstanding of course.

and there is a problem with that?
I went riding yesterday. Ski Hill in Leavenworth, up the new trail then the fire road, then down Rosie and the new trail. I actually did not enjoy it: hot climb with moon dust everywhere, steep descent that went fine technically but brought me no thrill, and a sunburn because I'm stupid.
I passed on the second part of the ride, a fire road climb then Xanadu down, because I was cramping up despite 100 oz of water down the gullet and because it wasn't fun.

vanderbilt university was like that.....
two more hours of work and I hit the road for home.....cool enougb to have to turn on the heater in the RV this moring and hot enough now that I have the AC on full blast
Tree vs ribs = tree wins. At ER now waiting for x-rays. Fvck
Read Waterlogged, by Tim Noakes.
Heal fast. I am at ER too, waiting for someone to sew a hole in my abdomen. I kind of hit something when I crashed earlier this afternoon. I need moar armor.
I think in the battle of trees vs ribs, trees are undefeated. Sorry mang, try to not move for 6 weeks.

Got my training program in place and the one I am going with is burly. As much as Wifey wants this to be a 'just finish it' type event, I can't do that. It's not how I'm built. The program is for performance, not participation. Hopefully I can keep on schedule and make head way. I start tomorrow with a morning swim and 20 mile afternoon ride.
Heavy weekend of sleeping odd hours interrupted with family stuff. Lots of yard work, all looks really good except for the tomato plant that didn't make it.
The Ocean is 20DegC where I live in Australia, damn winter is tough here 
Slyfink and StiHacka you should have just fallen in the shower like I did. no ER no Dr bills just a small cut and a bone bruise
Heal up guys

Good news is, the DHR is faaast! Bad news is, wifey will not be happy when she comes back from her overseas trip.

the term bend over comes to mind
Hahaha, they are free over here.
Interesting. I'd certainly heard of hyponatremia from marathoners and others drinking a ton, but hadn't made the connection to my own small scale efforts, as it were.
Here's a summary for others interested: http://www.irunfar.com/2012/07/waterlogged-a-dogma-shattering-book.html
I'm going to give that a shot next time I'm on the bike. I certainly was overheating, though, and appropriately dialed back my climbing pace to keep core temperature under control…
I have no problem dialing back, you see, and even with big wagon wheel 29" hoops a 22 x 36t granny keeps me moving slowly.
Headed to Leavenworth at the end of June. Will need all pertinent info for a non crappy ride experience.
Just wait until you get here and the hypoxia tries to murder you on your first ride.Interesting. I'd certainly heard of hyponatremia from marathoners and others drinking a ton, but hadn't made the connection to my own small scale efforts, as it were.

Heh - unless all your medical personnel are working for free... they ain't free.
This.
Heh, thanks. The healing will be, hopefully, simple, but wife anger will be harder to deal with. New lesson learned - being cheap on brakes gets really expensive, fast.
thanks guys. luckily, nothing broken. just a big ass bruise, and a contusion on my lung. I guess that makes me a giant pvssy for going to the ER for nothing but a big bruise... eh well, at least I got a script for percocet! that stuff shure helped me get through the night. I can breathe normally today, which is nice.
StiHacka, heal up soon too... I wonder who's gonna be back on the bike first!?

I was told to stay off the bike for two weeks until I have the stitches removed. I have an inch long rupture and some massive swelling in the groin, not too bad but hurts like hell when I try to tie my shoes.
so what happened, exactly?
High speed OTB and I hit something with my groin when in the air, most likely a tall headset spacer. Got to trim that biatch. First time on a new bike...
You guys might want to consider knitting - mt biking may not be for you.
Headset stack height or groin?

Be prepared to climb. I saw a few people on DH bikes headed up to Xanadu (pushing up the road climb, clearly), but even our group's one roadie on a carbon hardtail survived with only a few scratches.
Aren't there any trails on the flatlands east of the front range? I think I'll stick to those, Florida-style.This.
Ahhh... yes - you're moving to Sucksville, CO, ain'tcha? Limon has some nice riding.<snip>

Probably a good move just in case, especially with your freedom hating health care.
Buddy of our crashed last year and clearly broke a couple ribs.
Got him to the truck then cajoled him into driving another shuttle.
He didn't look so good when we met back up so we sat him in an icy river, fed him beers and a cocktail of painkillers from various packs to get him the 3hrs home with a grin.
Turns out he punctured lung, too, when his wife insisted he hit the ER.
She doesn't like us anymore.
Mt bike wives rarely like "us"...
