Safe to say that Nebraska did not defy any stereotypes. Happy to be home, not so happy about going back to work.
Spent all day yesterday at a charity Foot Golf tournament (basically golf but your kicking a soccer ball). Drank several brews, absorbed lots of sunshine, and had tons of fun. My hips are sore as sh!t this morning. I am le tired but back to the grind.
Ahhhh... Nebraska.
Dullest state I ever drove across. It made Iowa look exiting.
Back at work after just 18 hours at home from returning from BC.

Good Morning Monkies. I have nothing exciting planned for the day except work and resting my legs for tomorrow's XC knar fest down by the river.
Bibles, bread and water - it's all you need.
Going to be a busy week. Spent yesterday evening stripping all the bedding an towels out ot the camper and washing them. tonight It's deep cleaning the camper interior. Going to spend the next few days loading all the stuff back in, putting the Kayaks on the roof, Mt bikes on the back. We leave for Wyoming Friday night. Have to do all of this and to my normal 50 hour work week.
Had much beer last night while making tacos and ended up passing out at probably 8pm. I'll take that as a win.
The dorklogger now reports that I'm averaging three rides per week, even though I've done at least 4 per week over the last month, with 5 rides last week. Need to fix ASAP.

'Morning. Tired from yesterday's triathlon. Hot, humid, and hilly. It took me 2:38, which was good for 45/210 overall. Top 20% (thereabouts)...I'll take it! The best part of the race was that I was 105/210 in the swim, smack dab in the middle of the pack. HOORAY, I am an AVERAGE swimmer now! 
But it is nice to not be last out of the water and have to make up a shitload of time on the bike and run. It's also worth noting that I am in peak training for my Ironman, so I basically did this race tired as hell.
Speaking of training, I was back in the pool this morning for a 4000 yarder.

Working a few days, then getting away for a few days.
Yesterday's ride on an empty tank has me hurting today. I'll need to spin out my legs later.

Painful week ahead. 
Decided yesterday would be a good day to try and link up 5 different local trail networks. Then it rained on us for most of it. The sun did come out for the last 1/2 hr. 48 wet miles is a good way to make your under carriage a bit raw.
Looks flexy.
What a weekend. Rode 50 miles of DH trails yesterday, I am worked. Great festival, no wipeouts. Love our camper!
back in the office. hard to focus. at least my boss isn't here this week.
Slept horribly last night, coughing and shit. Thus it was an easy choice to drive in this morning even though I'm on academic time, as I had to be here at 8:30 to interview a fellow candidate.
I have a feeling my day may end early… so that I can go home and nap, perhaps. #excitinglife

i slept great last night. and by slept i meant "blacked out". and by great i meant "on the couch"
Time to go riding then.
Morning! Home from a family camping weekend so today we will swim early then spend the afternoon (rain & tstorms supposed to be rolling in soon) cleaning the camper and doing laundry.
I'm ISO a decent set of disc 24" wheels (hopefully not too heavy) for my daughter. Her bike is getting too small and my old hard tail is just a hair too big so new wheels should be perfect.

Turned down a job offer the other day. Pretty sure I did the right thing 'for now', but can't help but think about that greener grass when you're heading back in to the coal mine.
That was one of the lower end Bikes they offered 98-00. If memory serves me correctly, I think it was a sub 600 complete bike when new.
Heh. It was dusty following down Plymouth Mountain Trail, yes.Must be from eating all of that dust yesterday.
I actually slept in the downstairs guest bedroom since I could tell before going to sleep that it wasn't going to be a pretty night.
I was thinking after work and the afternoon rain. Maybe 6pm?
dang son. i average one ride every 2 weeks, not counting putzing around with the kids. i cherish every mile though. dork logger says 17 rides so far this year. more than half in the mountains, though, so there's that...
anniversary today-18 yrs. it'll be low key, as tomorrow is the 10yo's bday.
still drinking coffee.
with my kid and job and all i am averaging about a ride a week. i'd like to up that, but i just can't seem to get it together.
@jstuhlman and @jonKranked I'm pretty sure the doctor recommends more rides per week. For physical and mental health reasons. 
Do we have a doc in the house that can confirm?

Dr Beam?
I am averaging around 10 rides / 11 days in the past couple of weeks. I am gunning for 300 miles on dirt this month but work and health issues begin to interfere.
Out of town in the big smoke for work this week. I would finally like to do some social riding next week for those who are around and amenable.
I'm no doctor, but my physical and mental health skyrocketed the first week after I got laid off. I also started averaging 3-5 rides per week at that time. I mean, that's just anecdotal. YMMV.@jstuhlman and @jonKranked I'm pretty sure the doctor recommends more rides per week. For physical and mental health reasons.

A worthy goal. I dork logged ~280 in the month of June, and I don't even have a job. I'm at ~230 for July so far... and headed to the promised land.I am averaging around 10 rides / 11 days in the past couple of weeks. I am gunning for 300 miles on dirt this month but work and health issues begin to interfere.
I'm sure this comes as no surprise, but I'll be out of town. Headed to interior BC, finally.

What spots are you hitting? I have done a tour and it was glorious.
