Chilling in the Midwest for the next week with my wife's family for the holidays.
Morning. It's cold. Old injuries hurt. That is all
Chilly out, but it did finally stop raining. There is this big orange/yellow/bright object in the sky that I’m not sure what it is.
I've started my Boston Marathon training and did 16.5 miles today, once again, in cold fucking rain. I am sick to hell of running in cold rain lately.
Bikes need to be ridden, but it looks cold outside.
So I'm going to stay right here and watch football for a bit, it might warm up to 40 freedums by lunchtime...

legs are sore from doing an hour of intervals on the spin bike yesterday. The wind is kicking up so I may suffer the same fate today
but for now it is coffee time

Busy afternoon so no ski but spinning in the garage, then packing, then off to the old country.

Ditched kid, took wife to fancy dinner last night. Now hungover, drinking coffee, contemplating how to waste today.
Rain's finally tapered off, now getting windy and cold. Trails will be mucho muddy so no riding on dirt today, maybe tomorrow. Trying to fix a water leak into Beetle's spare tire compartment, next steps is 3rd brake light replacement. Old one is out, all wet and muddy inside, so I a hoping a new one will fix it. Other than that, meh.
Cook it now.
le ski
Moved a bunch of crap from the garage into my new shed. It's about 8 x 15', 8' tall ceiling, nice concrete pad. I dig it, and now the garage looks worlds better, de-cluttered and with all the dirt on the floor blown outside.
The locks for the shed and yard gates are coming tonight by 9 PM. Probably would have been better to wait until the locks were there before moving junk out there, but I'm skiing tomorrow and working Monday so today it was.

Rode for an hour and a half easy like on the rollers, watched two episodes of Narcos. Anyone else watch this?
Picked up Tracer after annual overhaul.
Screwed around with trailer wiring.

Did 10 pavement miles on winter bike because weather. That said, studs in tires are now fully seated and I am ready for snow and ice. Indian take-out and beers in a few.
Brisk and blustery, perfect conditions to go beat myself up on a 30 mile ride. fun was had
Wicked weed must be expanding north. Got Pernicious IPA in a bar yesterday, procured Freak of Nature in my packie today. Not a bad progress. Indian place under new management and still very tasty.
Eric, you ever ride in Auburn?
Hey @I Are Baboon what swim goggles so you use? I've been out of the game for a while but I'm going to start swimming laps again
BastardBe careful you don't splash all the water out of the pool when you get in.
This, got 9 hour flights coming up and not currently being allowed to check in online... :/
No, but my buddies that live near Folsom do all the time. They said it rocks. I usually head on up to Downieville for some shuttles in the summer if I am going to drive that far. When are you going to be there?
Skied with my dad and Haley today. Went to Winter Park and caught a solid 3" of powder for Haley's first powder day. Rode a ton of greens and steep greens with no issues from Haley. She made a decision that she will be riding blue's by season end and black's by next season.
Discovered that my spare skis that we are trying to get rid of fit my dad perfectly. Talked about him getting a pair of used boots to leave here with said skis going forward.
Having pulled pork for dinner, ftw.

I found it overrated when I rode there, but that was a decade ago.
Well, I originally was planning on doing Downieville with the kiddo, but we will be there April 4th...so we will stick down lower due to the likely snow. Hopefully there isn’t a Pineapple Express of moisture then. I got a hotel in Auburn.
I will be at a horse show in Rancho Murrietta that weekend with the wife. Its about 45 minutes from Auburn. Maybe we can hook up for dinner on Saturday night
gf got me crepe cooking thing, made crepes and had leftover chocolate mousse in them this morning

That would be great! Habanero time!
wish we lived somewhere i could get the 8yo into a ski racing program. he loves going fast and bombed the crap out of every black we could get to. even started turning more then plowing today. in classic east cost drifty blown “powder” over groomed ice. most impressive. 13yo seems to have fractured his wrist snowboarding...xrays will tell when we get home tomorrow...
Like and dislike.
Left the house at noon, just arrived.
Godspeed!!
I use Roka R1's. Love 'em.
