Work is for suckers, and the sucker is me.
I guess it's time to take the studded tires off the Moonlander.
Questions of the day:
Questions of the day:
- Whether or not to set up tubeless.
- Whether to finally replace HFX brakes on Heckler with XT.
Currently 39F, overcast. Gravel Grinder though has clear skies forecast. ...believe it when I see it.
up and in uniform on a Saturday blows. Working a horse show all weekend
Morning monkeys!
Doing stuff today, mostly stuff I don't really want to do, but I have to do. Being a grown up sucks.
Be safe out there.

Didn't ride my new bike yesterday, but I did ride. Hit Valmont Bike Park on the slalom bike for some dirt jump laps. Heading out to ride some new trail on the new bike this morning. Be careful out there, suckers.
Do both. Shimano brakes are simply the best.
Get your skills up! Commercial businesses w/ drones is around the corner.
My neighbor just spent 3 hours raking thinly distributed leaves on his lawn before mowing for the first time this year. Dude needs a hobby that is a little more enjoyable than simply getting out of earshot of his banshee of a wife.
Good morning Sunshines!
What was supposed to be a quiet night last night turned into a booze filled tour of the town. Got pretty hammered and ended up at IHOP at 3am being served by a sassy gay fella. After a night filled with 5 hours of tossing and turning here I am!
I think we are headed up to RMNP today if my GF and her friend ever get outta bed. Perhaps I should take advantage of that...#FMF.

As someone who swore off tubeless for a long time but has run it for the past year with little issue, I say go for it. Even if you only pinch flat half a dozen times per year a quality set of tubeless tires properly set up should cut down greatly on your pain.
And hell yes to the second question. Unequivocally yes.
20.6 mile run at 8:01 pace. 76 miles for the week. 16 weeks of marathon training complete. I'm fuckin' tired. Two weeks to recover now before race day.
Practicing rotating in place. We had it as high as 200' overhead, filming us in 1080p. From that height you couldn't hear anything and could barely see it, you can see what the camera sees on the control screen in your hands. Pretty rad.
now I'm going for a ride ... waaaay too nice outside.
Just found out that three friends died in a plane crash yesterday in Northern Idaho. his is a small town, this will hit the community of Victor/Driggs really hard. So sad.
Possibly the best descent on the front range. Sorry I missed it.
How did the new fantastic plastic scooter work?
Donde esta?
Golden Gate State Park. Come on up one day and ride it!

GGCSP. I should go out there. Was it snow free Truck?
Friggin back is all tweaked. Definitely should not have broken my back ten years ago. Shit is gonna haunt me the rest of my life.
Find a gym with a pool. My community center has a awesome pool. I find if I can maintain laps without touching the floor. I get an awesome low impact workout.
Back Pain is the worst. I went through this, w/o a broken back though. Busted a few ribs and they healed misaligned. Low back would always give itself out until I began Hamstring stretch, and massive core exercises.
Another ride with the trail all to myself. Stopped a few times to pull out the saw and pay trail dues.
the running man.
First day with my wife gone for a week. The kids were cranky but no melt down yet. I'll see how I fare with my mom in my house for a week. No meltdown there yet either! Hope to hit the bike park tomorrow...
I've never been. Perhaps I will add it to my weekend itinerary.
Is that a euphemism for a solid trail jerk?
No, not at this particular trail. However there is another more local trail that is often frequented by unusually friendly men in street clothes along the trail. We call them Pocket Ballers.
Stretching and core exercise sounds nice especially if involving yoga pants.

There were a few small stretches of hard packed snow that were totally rideable. It was my first time riding that trail, and it's so, so good.
That bike is ridiculous.
