Morning, tired, night shift and Halloween weekend... That is all
Morning monkies! It's Saturday so bikes along the river. It will be chilly but wind will not be strong. Laters.
'Morning! Got my fully loaded Americano and waiting for it to kick in. I've got another race tomorrow...a duathlon. 3 mile run, 11 mile bike, 2 mile run. Short race means balls out, heart rate pegged, lungs and legs burning effort. So, today will be low-key.
Good luck Babs!
I used to love coffee out of one of those (I have had the same one for 30 years) until I discovered the Aeropress.
Far superior, IMO.

Last night, a guy at the gym locked his bicycle to mine. I had to walk home, and then have the people at the front desk call me when he left, then go get my bike.
After that, one of my good friends called me in a panic about Donald Trump becoming president, and just vented and ranted for 20 minutes. He kept asking me questions, and then talking over me as soon as I started to respond. I finally hung up on him.
So far today I've had breakfast and mopped the floor.

I hadn't thought about it. I almost opted to lock my bike to his to make him wait for me to come back.
Sinus infection is raging behind my left cheekbone. Making my teeth hurt. Body is still fucked. So much rain. Soft tissue between ribs still not healed enough to throw dirt with hand tools. Gawd damn, thankfully there is the vb1.
Howdy all. I gave it a good effort at White Ranch this morning. Check Strava, yo. 10 PRs and a 10th overall on one segment!
Still far from Nick's dream of 5 minutes Longhorn at Maverick to creek, though. Encountering two slow uphill bikers on upper Longhorn and crashing (landed on my feet) right before the drop on lower Longhorn due to two hikers didn't help.
(This segment is also less than 0.1 mile long, slightly downhill after a gate, and the top 3? spots are either motorcycle riders or people spoofing GPS data. 60 mph? I don't think so.

Fucking refrigerators. 
They were unrelated events.
This is a better option in the camper where I have a very limited amounts of water( 30 gallons) for all uses. All I need to clean this is one sheet of a paper towel to wipe it clean.
I hear you. We have a 29 gallon tank, we have to watch our water carefully. I clean it out with a paper towel as well...
Well its afternoon and still only 46 degrees and no sun... I'm going to wait until 3PM to ride as it promised to be sunny, for now maybe a nap.
Bikes were ridden. Roots were slipped on and beer has been drank.
Even if the sun didn't show up today, what a great day it has been. Cloudy and grey, but no rain and we rode in tshirts and shorts.
Such a nice day that I went out for a second ride.
Time to make some tacos.

New catering truck came today. Very very tasty. And free to me to boot
Sliders, one pulled pork, one brisket
I did skip the bun to keep the calories down after taking a bite of each. Coleslaw was awesome as were the meats

Trick is, eat the bun and then do something after. Good excuse to go ride the bike to "work it off".
Stuck at facility then going out to dinner with the rest of the staff or I would be doing a night ride tonight to burn it off. I have walked 6 miles around the facility so far with 3 more hours to go.I haven't had good slaw in a long ass time.

Well the sun broke by 1:30 and it was pretty much clear skies when I got to the trails. I had another hero ride for 4th time this week. Hard to believe it the end of October and still in the mid 50s. Next ride will be Monday night with the headlamp. Now beer. I'm of scotch and the liqueur store with the good hootch is 3 miles away...
Fucking storm windows.
Shake down ride on a new rear wheel was a success. Wicked ride of the East shall be a piece of cake tomorrow.

10 miles with the kid in the trailer. Checked out the new pedestrian bridge over the river. Then off to the playground. Kid loved it. Good day. Cold beer and a baked potato now.
Took the kids to the agriculture museum this morning for Halloween activities . Then back home for a bit domestic stuff , then to the bike shop to order me some specialized winter shoes, then to a Halloween party at a buddies neighbours house . Pooped . Hope the predicted good weather tomorrow materializes.
I ended up walking 9 miles today. Then went out with the crew and had Osso Buco for dinner.. so good. The Oreo cheese cake for dessert was way too rich. I didn't finish the slice so it's now in the camper fridge.
So while many know there are food carts, most don't know just how seriously we take this around these parts. Today I finally made it to the Portland Mercado. Some vandals had damaged a few o the carts, so they have been doing a fund raiser to support the repairs. So much food, I will need to go back at least 4 more times. 10 carts plus a market and Mexican grocery for the hipsters. Makes me feel at home
