Well, what are you waiting for?
For my arse to thaw?
Well, what are you waiting for?
10F here and windy with 2.5" of fresh snow. Nice January weather and we're switching to DST tomorrow. 
I am waiting for coffee to have its full effect. I'm waiting for a rather small asteroid to take out Washington, DC. I'm waiting for the cold to abate. I'm waiting to start skitting about the country to try different beers and ride in different, and some of the same, places. I'm waiting for a young and attractive woman to decide to sit on my face.
Well, at least that extra hour of sunshine will help melt that new snow quicker...For my arse to thaw?
Science!!
House stuff today, possible ride, great show with a couple local bands tonight. Tomorrow all day in the woods!
Things look they're gonna stay frozen today. Gonna try and head out for a bike ride.
sipping my coffee waiting for the caffeine to clear the cobwebs of my brain. Food, Mt Bike, load EMT stuff into the camper and make enchiladas for tonight's dinner party. that is my entire plan for the day.
I escaped that weather yesterday, but here at home it is 50 and pouring rain all the way up into the mtns. So, not sure if "escaped" is correct...For my arse to thaw?
Northeast folks are in for some real fun next week.
It to stop snowing so I can go ride.
Well, what are you waiting for?
Looking at your wish list, the odds of the asteroid impact seem pretty good to me.
Wife and I just registered for this, http://www.tatanka100.com/
Haven't done a hundy in a couple of years, I used to do several each year. I guess I should go ride...

First sunny day here in about three months. Stuck inside.
Things did not in fact stay frozen. Chores it is.
After reading this thread I'm thinking fish tacos for lunch. Ridemonkey always delivers.
EDIT: Pineapple shrimp tacos with habanero salsa for dinner. I like tacos.

20:46 in my 5K race. 5th place overall and 2nd in my age group. Too damn windy (25-45 mph winds), cold (negative wind chills), and hilly (300' of uphill) to put up a fast race time. I got out of the car and thought "What the hell am I doing racing in this shit?" I knew after two miles that I was locked into 5th place because the person behind me was nowhere in sight, so I basically coasted the last mile. Age group winners got medals, and second place got nothing, Figures. Fuckers. Stopped off for a chicken salad sandwich on my way home.
Still balls cold and blowing snow. Collective Project IPA No.1 is the shiznit so I bought two more 4packs today. I am too lazy to do any serious chores today, Imma be watching the Bruins instead.
There is a woman wearing a sleeping bag at the soccer match.
Wouldn't that be difficult to play in ?There is a woman wearing a sleeping bag at the soccer match.
Ensharen some of those pics!Just saw some pics of this morning's gnome session at the OG spot.
Mmmm rawks.
Dude, you're just going to have to see it for yourself. Some other gnomes have gone completely off the chain with building trails in several of the gullies. Think massive wall rides, drops, hips, and gaps. Even the Tabletop section got re-worked.
The section we're working on is some technical old school single track. And for the first time in the 27 years I've been riding there, there will be an actual, full length rock garden.

It's frigid out, and there's no new snow. Took my 4 yo to see a movie again. Went to one of those pre-cineplex ones that are slightly cheaper. He was too afraid of Trolls, so had to leave. We wandered around the mall a bit, but he was having none of that. Smart boy.
i am in shit shape. yet pisgah delivered. farlow/daniel/longbranch/cat gap. hub for beers and pizza. snowed on us on the entire farlow descent. effing awesome. best part was as we rode down the steep part of farlow, some dudes who had stopped to walk down it were cheering for us. 
Farlow is one of the few trails in Pisgah proper that I'm reluctant to ride solo. I've ridden it on a DH sled that did not have a functioning rear brake, which is probably the stupidest thing I've done on a bike. But never attempted it solo.i am in shit shape. yet pisgah delivered. farlow/daniel/longbranch/cat gap. hub for beers and pizza. snowed on us on the entire farlow descent. effing awesome. best part was as we rode down the steep part of farlow, some dudes who had stopped to walk down it were cheering for us.
How long did it take to complete ?
My coffee game needs to be strong today, long night ahead. Will be a busy one
Bitch about this in June, when our snow will be melting...For my arse to thaw?
my rear brake needed a bit of "pumping up" all day...will bleed tonight.
whole ride was about 2.5 hours, but we shuttled a good chunk of the initial fire road climb. still got in 2200' of gain.
I'll be bitching about 90F, 100% humidity and bugs eating me alive then, thank you very much.
Fun was had riding and out and back on the ridgeline. At the top looking across the valley with the cities of Pleasanton and Dublin, and up over the Altamont with it's giant windmills you could see the Snow capped Sierras over 100 miles away
the Sierras in the distance

when did you move to NC?I'll be bitching about 90F, 100% humidity and bugs eating me alive then, thank you very much.
