Done. 7:12 pace. Then I tried to do a bike workout after and hahahalololol NO.
So I spun 45 minutes real easy just to shake the legs out.
Your first annual increase (if you get one) will give that right back to you. You'll also save on gas. One hour less per day of drive time. That's 5 hours a week, 260 hours in a year, which is about 11 fewer days a year you are sitting in the car. I'd love to get 11 days back each year.
I totally agree on the therapeutic thing. Shops up here sell one pound blocks I think you could get them in your town. No reason for Purl other than they make good wax and they're a Colorado company.
Get a brass brush, nylon brush, and soft horse hair.

Congrats!
Morning. Strangely quiet in the house. Wife has been at work, lil man is with Grandpa all weekend.
Gonna try to go skiing for a bit after shift in the morning, but..... I just don't think this snow storm is coming like they said it was being it's 50° currently.
On a side note, had to turn away my first customer for my side business today as he just plain had unrealistic expectations for the end product. Hopefully he doesn't tell too many people I am an asshole and don't know anything......

So my ten yo was super excited when I picked him up at the Village today. He said "Dad, I did Corbet's!"
I asked him "How did it go?"
He said "Great!!! I slid down the whole thing on my belly!"
I thought that was about perfect.

Don't sweat it, man - that'll get worse.
I need to ski with your kid - pretty sure that's how I'd style Corbet's.
Why so short, grasshopper??

He did it on a snowboard...he was on the ski race program till this year, so this was his first season boarding. He likes boards in the pow and skis on hard pack...
Did a good ride today. Nice conditions, good loop, and felt strong. It's the second ride in a row someone has commented on my "pace". I'll take it.
Good dinner and a nice quiet night at home with the kids not fighting. I'll take that too.

Y U Strava?
Rode this evening, a bit over 11 miles on frozen therefore fast trails. Real dirt season cannot come soon enough.
Agreed. Wide planks also probably have lots of rocker, which makes the effective edge shorter yet. For Stoney: I’m on 177s and I’m 173 cm tall, for reference...Why so short, grasshopper??
You all can laugh at me for getting the family out of the house too late but between traffic and Loveland Pass being closed in the morning it took just shy of 3.5 hours to get to A-Basin, which then proved to be packed with half of Denver. Mariko’s instructor sucked, too, and took her and the other kid in the group only on the magic carpet. She’s a good sport but probably got more out of the one run she took with me than from doing 100 ft runs.
I do not think I’ll be going back to A-Basin: might as well hit Breck on weekdays and for weekends, I don’t know, Winter Park instead?
Smart kid
sounds like wiping your ass with one sheet of tp and using both sides...
Recommendation from ski instructor is no more group lessons. She's beyond the capacity of even the intermediate level training for 4/5 year olds. She's jumping off terrain and is starting to parallel turn, but that is what she is really working on now.
Some amusement was had when the instructor told me that she had to tell her to stop trying to ski backwards. Because why not, now is a good time to learn how to ski backwards.

I had no idea dentists rode Evil bikes. Sort of take the whole Evil out of it when being ridden by a spandex dentist. 
Took the pooch for a short hike in the woods at Stub. Weather was perfect, she was awesome off lead. I put her on the 25' lead when there were folks around, but it was pretty empty and it was great. I wish I was on a bike, but woods are woods.

What they had. Explains why they felt little. They were harrowing on the ice/hardpack. In the soft they were nice and floaty.Why so short, grasshopper??
We left at 6am and pulled up to Loveland at 7:45ish with a gas and a bathroom stop.
Undoubtedly the skis were too short. It's generally hard finding giant skis.
