40 mile ride this morning felt good went slow with my sore legs. Time to clean up the apartment before the family get back and apply for some jobs in Denmark.
'Morning. An easy 20 miles on the road (not tri) bike this morning. Still feeling the Ironman. Damn. 
short and sweet ride this morning. quiet lunch before the kids came home. little one is fighting his nap fiercely. it's such a pain caus' he needs it, but it can take two hours to get him down for a one hour nap!? not sure it's worth it anymore... will spend the rest of the afternoon at the pool with the boys.
Just went for a two hour ride before getting on a plane to Cali. it's great when a flying day works out like that! Got to ride six miles of new trail right here in town, gonna be a gem part of our 'after work' network!

You forgot the part when somebody offered to buy your car.
@Toshi also had his gopro, so as soon as he post it, we can see slow riding and me taking a few truly horrible lines. "Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit" pretty much sums it up.
I got my @fulltrucker on and educated a new* rider who blew past some hikers without yielding. I passed at least 6-7 groups on the way down and still barely made it to the lot before he drove out. He must have blown past all of them.
He was completely baffled as to why hikers have right of way or why downhill riders have to give way. He seemed a bit overwhelmed with that alone, so I wasn't going to get into riding with headphones.

I mentioned start time/place in the GTFO conversation thread.was this one of those "way too early to call Nick" start times?
Don't blame me.My neck's kind of sore from having that (tiny version/Session) GoPro on my helmet. Footage is bouncy but gimbals seem like way more of a pain in the ass than I want to deal with. You all will just have to put up with crappy footage.
Video's processing interminably now. High bitrate + 60 fps will do that, I guess. It'll be here eventually:
Great single- and Team effort w/ RTTTOV in town. 21st overall, 5th in Division and 17th overall, 4th in MTB. Being my 1st go at the Race To The Top Of Vermont I had one fun time.
Dammit... schraeder valve on the bottom of the new coil shock doesn't clear the frame. 
Back to the damned drawing board...

what shock are you trying to fit? do you still have the Trance frame??Dammit... schraeder valve on the bottom of the new coil shock doesn't clear the frame.

Another solid breakfast. Kiddo ate bacon for the first time. Mowed the lawn, followed by harvesting the chinooks, and a 4 beer lunch. Bong shed then bbq with the neighbors. Full on toasted now, watching a free livestream phish concert.
Did an easy ride in the woods, then washed the bike so I can work on it tonight. Rear brake needs to be bled, not sure about front. And I may treat the Spitty to a new shifter cable and housing.
Planing on going somewhere hilly tomorrow. Have been thinking of riding Bent Creek then over to Mill River to check out the Spencer Gap reroute then climb back up to the Parkway and into Bent Creek again.
Really need some time in the mountains, even if it's just for a few hours.

Have to admit, Uber is fucking slick.
My ride was there for me in barely the time it took me to look up from my phone.

you keep going past wilsons, man! if it's not a time I can make it out, happy to pass along instructions for a route. just holler . . .
ordered bearings for my being-held-hostage bike. hopefully the upper link will have two new heli-tapped shock settings tomorrow (both high and low had become stripped). then the bearings come on Tues and we can re-assemble. prob won't have a chance to ride until at least next week anyway, since we have to go to richmond for a stupid wedding over labor day. hrmf.
hung out today and did not much of anything besides drinking some beers, getting crap ready for kids to go back to school, etc.
back home, bit tired the wife made sure of that
oh and i am now at 201 pounds, lost 74 this year

BC to Mills River is fairly safe for a solo day trip. I'm not too comfortable riding solo in Wilson's since it's unmarked and I have limited experience there. I'd be OK with Yancey solo but only because I've done it a few times albeit some centuries ago.
Also much better chance of spotting hotties on bikes in the woods at BC than deep in Wilson's. Now if toothless, meth heads are your thing then...
its getting dark before I can finish my post work rides so helmet light time it is.
Reign. XFusion coil. No workee. Going to look into the new CC DB in line coil...
Guess you need to buy a new frame to avoid squandering the money spent on the shock.Dammit... schraeder valve on the bottom of the new coil shock doesn't clear the frame.
Back to the damned drawing board...
Is this it??
did you try removing the valve cap? Can you swap the valve for a lower profile valve?
I know a guy with a CCDB coil with the Climb Switch for sale. Cheapo.
got an email from Push today that they are selling their rebuilt demo 11-6 shocks...
