Raining.Doing laundry.
Off to work my Last EMT Standby of the 2016 season. It will be nice to have my weekends off work for a while
Morning Monkies! Its supposed to be cool and rainy for the next few days so I am glad I got a good ride in yesterday. Today is laundry, shopping and cleaning up around the barn day. I'm on my own until next Sunday...
My legs are pretty tired this morning - the Giggle Pig is not a happy climber,

'Morning. 10 mile run done this morning in some bullshit heat and humidity. My clothes were drenched in sweat. Some heavy rain just rolled through and clear, crisp weather is supposed to follow this afternoon, so I may go for another run just to enjoy that weather. This has been the hottest summer on record.
Enjoying my 99 cents gas station coffee now.

hrmmm...i don't see a van anywhere?!
slow morning. watched wc. stoked they showed so many riders. such carnage on that track. will give my bike some love today. thing's kinda beat down. maybe take the 6yo for a ride or trailwork when the 11yo has a friend over. today looks like the last 90* day in the immediate future.
Looks like the Bills are on track to win the Super Bowl....
Avoiding the internets of anything bike related (and the RM DH forum) until I watch the replay of the Worlds race from this morning. Which sucks, because I need to browse the PB's for some parts.
In other news, I rode some awesome single track today. A lot of it. Nothing too spectacular, very easy trails, but damnnnnn they flow so well! And I'm not talking that IMBA flow crap.
I also ate a $2 apple mid ride. It was pretty good, but two dollar good? Eh.... @boostindoubles

Those are Canadian dollars so truly what was it? A buck forty? 
2.5 mi loop hike on paper turned out to be 2.5 miles out and back. Each way. Starting at 9k, with 800 ft gain. With 25 lbs of Yuna-plus-carrier on back and Mariko held on the steep sections.
We bailed early but even the 4 or so miles we did was super tiring. The worst part was being stuck behind some idiot doing 25 all the way down Golden Gate Canyon Road, but the excellent Mexican food we had once past him redeemed the day.

Up early for World's then 6 hot laps at Keystone with two friends. I felt fast today. Like, good & fast.
I needed that.

If I don't protect my charging cables with threats that would make the mafia envious my family finds ways to make them disappear like Jimmy Hoffa. I have gotten pretty good control of my lightning cables but all 6 micro USB cables have now vanished.
Well at least I got 30 miles in on the bike this evening before it got dark.

Rode a local 2000 foot climb with wifey. She is admittedly slow, it took an hour and a half. The pace was glorious, I got to look out for raptors. She got spoiled at the bike demo last week, now she wants a new bike. The fact that her shock has leaked out ALL of its oil doesn't help (but it is still holding air, holy pogo stick!).
Time to shop for deals.
The bike she fell in love with was a 23 pound scalpel, which was $8k.
Needless to say that is out of the question...

Rode Tiger twice this weekend. Winter is coming and I just started to get the hang of that shit. Wanted to get as many turns in as possible while things are still dry.
Just shy of 8000 ft for the weekend.

Where is Tiger?
Sweet Tango definitely falls in the meh category for me especially with apples like Jazz and Envy or a good Fuji or honeycrisp around. The flavor is OK, but the texture is off.
Closest Mountain to sleazattle
Send her to dental school
She's the breadwinner...I wish Transition made a bike for her (she is 4' 11") as we can get pro form on those and cracknfails...
(The reason she liked the cannondale was the weight)
