Was thinking about riding bicycle to work, wind has me now thinking otherwise. Motivation levels are critically low.
Had a good ride yesterday...I've been sticking to my winter resolution of riding exclusively my (26er) hardtail with flats. It's been really fun and has made me realize how lazy I am when riding FS. That said, I doubt I'll be any less fat and slow when spring conditions finally show up. Sigh.
Today it's looking like the rain missed us again and should be able to get on the bike today as well. First back to back ride in way too long.

Went to bed sick last night. Fever, body aches, sore throat... Better not be strep
A good ride with Sandwich yesterday, a good solo ride in early morning today. New RF/Easton dropper is turning into a disappointment, it is getting frustrating slow.
Watching the nesting eagles is fun, one has to envy their diet - fresh flesh with scales, feathers or fur.

I did and it was good, though if the wind is from the same direction when I go home, I'm fucked.
Morning monkies!
My ass is sore from a particularly bad saddle on the bike I rode yesterday, it's a stock Bontrager from about 2006 and the only one I've never replaced. I've had a replacement saddle since purchasing the bike but never installed it. I'm lucky that a basic WTB saddle works fine for me.
In endurance sleeping news, I may be last night's winner with nearly 11 hours of good sleep.
Today's agenda involves endurance loafing, it should go well.

Its 11:09am and IAB hasn't posted, yet. He is either a) still sleeping and will crush 11 hours or b) running for his life and winning pie.In endurance sleeping news, I may be last night's winner with nearly 11 hours of good sleep.
Moving slow, my muscles are a bit tight from a hard session of weight lifting last night. need coffee
I did consider IABs pro sleeping abilities and dialed back my victory speech just in case he crosses the line after me. Reverse winning is filled with suspense.Its 11:09am and IAB hasn't posted, yet. He is either a) still sleeping and will crush 11 hours or b) running for his life and winning pie.
Heavy rain and wind last night, knocked a power line down about a 1/4 mile from my house. We watched the arc flash build and fall in unison with the intensity of our lights for almost half an hour. Epic !!
Ooh... sparkly.My task for the weekend is done. Cleaned and washed every single part on the bike, except for the seat post cable. I think I count 15 zip ties.
Might be time to bump the fork up to 160mm
Lazer Floyd?
Arc Flash Lazer Floyd would be amazing.
almost two weeks of being sick. may be done with this soon.
35 mile ride on the tri bike this morning. Temp was in the 20's but I way overdressed and roasted. Recovered with overpriced boutique hamburger for lunch with the wife, then burned off said burger with a 2600 yard swim. All in all, a good day.
11 miles, 1,300 feet of climbing, mostly with @Bunnista. White ice, grey ice, a little mud, a bunch of litter covered trail in very nice condition. Bong shed in the open air on top of a cliff looking over beaver meadows and seeing a few hundred acres of trees getting ready to bud in the late afternoon sun.
back from weekend in brevard. good eats, good beers, nice hikes, decent sleep. almost makes up for the lack of pedaling...almost but not quite. i feel a fuckit friday coming on...
birthday party hangover recovery, and it wasn't even my birthday.
But how long did you sleep last night?!
First birthday? It really is "your" birthday. They become less so each year until 10 or 11...
10.5 hours. Wife had to wake me up because company was coming over for 8:30.
I need to take lessons from the pro-sleepers in here.
Shot arrows at a 50 yard target distance, much fun. Now putting the camper shell that has been sitting under the trees collecting all sorts of crap back on to my old pick up. It took an hour of scrubbing to get the majority of the grime off the damn thing. Sucker is heavy too.

That's what she said.
Get up early and eat breakfast everyday. Don't drink alcohol immediately before bed. Hydrate properly with water everyday, no excuses. Do some form of exercise daily, no excuses. Eat Bananas for a snack instead of sweets or chips. Never drink diet soda ever period. Vitamin B in any form....
run for your life everyday.
most of those things are crazy bongshed dreams, but this one in particular is #unpossibru. i sleep 4-5 hours per night. 6 is luxury

Can we discuss/argue what properly is? Eating veggies contributes to hydration. Excessive water consumption can fuck one up. Hydration is regarded a little more than too much as a religion.
Nopenopenope. I likes my beerz, but that's suicide.
