Greetings from North East, Maryland.
Mornin!
Floor down, fans and light need to be hung. Well, as does all of the trim, but I'm gonna let the FIL take care of that.
Thankful for my Pops right now as hes selflessly put in a couple of hard days flooring and drywalling to get our space ready.

Got one more ride in before leaving for Los Mormones early tomorrow. Glad we didn't decide to go to Cackalacky, stay safe y'all down there.
Saturday and time to sling some rings. Yay happy couples.
Remember: if you think you should do it, you probably shouldn’t.
I am up, showered, dressed, having already done a quick loop of Mountain Lion and swung by the Japanese bakery.
Morning.

Women's xc world championships on Hulu.
Waiting for the guys, who did a run while I dropped my uppers and got elbows. Wearing uppers totally threw my body position and made me ride worse. B-line for warm-up was fun, but pump trials are kinda overrated when they are more turn and less jump. Once they get down here, it's off to Top of the World.
Probably perfect timing for a mud-fest.
Perfect late summer day. First shot at renovation of the front lawn which is more or less weeds only. I could might as well have dug it all up but hopefully what I did today was enough to make it nice or at least start the process. Then hung out at the beach by the house and finished up destroying my bell eating a huge Vietnamese hot pot. Tomorrow its 120km ride with the company.
Out in the central valley to film Ruth riding in a training clinic. It's 97* outdoors and I am hanging out with the dogs in the camper drinking beer where it's a pleasant 74* while she watches others ride. I win
Rode everything at OCP. On a bicycle for the most part. Did poorly.
Walked away from a couple large "rollable" boulders. Benefits do not outweigh the consequences. Did discover that when I walk away from something, the rest of the group walks away (except Kurt, but he doesn't have kids - coincidence?) Shoulder feels good. Half of group stoney'd; Stoney did not stoney. Really used to bike now and it's fucking pinner. Faster you go, the better it rides. Turning it isn't a wonderful thing, but when you hit a good berm and lay it over 30-40*, it fucking rails.

Did my fifth or so real ride since the injury and managed to PR a bunch of descents. Don't know how that happened other than unlearning some bad habits as I was just trying to have a chill ride, have a long way before the fitness is back.
Almost ready for our trip to UT/WY/ID starting tomorrow at 4AM. Not gonna like the alarm clock at 4AM but FSM, I can't wait to be seeing some of my favorite places on this planet again!
Riding trip or family?
Family. No bikes this time.
Hopefully beers will be consumed with local monkeys though.
Do you need a restaurant recommendation or two in SLC, or are you getting straight outta town?
Point.
