Hey man lol. I was back in the pool this morning for a 2400 yard swim. It looks like the weather is going to fuck up our 4th of July MTB plans. Thanks for nothing, America.
Up early for a supply run.
Came home yesterday to find a couple of these dudes in the yard. Guess it's been rainy enough that the crawdads have traveled from the local watering hole into my front yard.
Here. Light schedule 0700 to 1530 
. So used to getting up at 315 that I kept waking up every 20 minutes from 0315 to 0500 
todays temps will only be in the low 90's yay
espresso , eats and off to the Delta I go

There are no stupid holidays, only stupid how many holidays people have to work in the U. S.
I am not excited about the 4th but I will take any paid day off I can get.
Might go ride today, not sure yet.

hey man
at work. No idea why they are open july 3 and not july 4th at a company with unlimited PTO...but whatever. I have living cultures I need to take care of, so I will do this, procrastinate, then head home at 12 to work on slides (mostly).
This weather has absolutely sucked. I don't miss 90 degree days all that much, but it's not the worst thing having a reason to go to the pool, or sunshine to ride my bike around in. This rain is keeping me indoors and it means I have to mow the lawn FWP

Just chilling. Been working on fixing my left hip flexor with daily exercises and seems to be paying off. Nice way to start the day in the sun. Followed up with a good swim. Like to stay active on vacation. Really good bike riding here too but opted out of that.
Head up on the mountain for cheese fondue and this view

Half of the office is out today. Came in because of a planned internal meeting to bring others up to speed on a new project that I'm handing off to them. The new PM (who was supposed to be here until noon today) called in last minute. I predict a short, unproductive day today.
The Strava thinks my longest ever climb is 3853ft, might be able to just beat that with todays dumb plan on the hardtail. Can't be gone all day as the DSO can't go into day care on busy holiday days, so it's not up into the mountains proper for high level dumb.
We should talk about potential dumb plans for this summer at some point, perhaps while doing that big climb in a few weeks time.
Surely that would be biggest elevation gain for a single climb, not for a total ride?
And yeah, let’s talk about big dumb plans soon.
I've got a list of repairs for the backhoe. Crap what have I done.
It's a paperwork day. Maybe ride bikes later.
My buddy showed me how I can use the space bar on my phone to move the cursor around. Mind blown.

we use the terro liquid on those punks. they swarm it at first and then carry it back and usually are gone in a day or two.
Also
It appears that after a spring of unholy amounts of rain, the last few dry days have resulted in the tiny ants making an attempt to reclaim my sun room.
That's the stuff that was deployed this morning.
how many times have you had it?
Those Bullseye cranks!! Is Bullseye back in business!??
Got up early and went for a ride. It was fantastic.
At the family lake place about to swim now. Looking like a pretty solid day.

"Back in the day" I had a pair of white Bullseye square-tubular steel cranks. They were so finicky to set up, but they took a beating and looked sweet.
Correct yeah, I've got many days with > 10k total.
Today's big dumb GRVL ride was 57 miles, 7129ft of vert, topping out at 11,432ft
My rudimentary maths skills suggests 3889ft from Idaho Springs to the top of Mestaa’ėhehe today, so clearly Strava is shit as it hasn't updated my biggest climb (and I already knew the way it calculated that metric was crap anyway).
edit: Clearly it needs a segment to use as your largest single climb, so I created one
3891ft

Did that work?edit: Clearly it needs a segment to use as your largest single climb, so I created one
Was pretty great. Kiddo and cousins are wiped out. They played and swam pretty hard. “Should” make bed time easy tonight.
Yep, the other segment didn't go quite to the top and the GPS data on it was shitty so it was a bunch less vert.
