53* this morning going up to the mid 90s. Sipping a double espresso in the camper and I am damn glad that the horse show only goes until 2pm today. My shoulders are stiff from riding 10 miles on the drops into a screaming headwind last night. One cool thing about this place is that at twilight all the owls come out and go hunting. you can see and hear them as they are backlit in the evening glow.

Good morning Monkeys. Zero on tap for today. Tomorrow I will be headed south to the land of even more Guns & ATVs to ride a few trails with rideit and Montana rider. I should prolly check for air in the tires.

Ah, the beauty of the Ridemonkey community. Met @Montana rider yesterday who kindly lent a relative stranger (me) his life jackets and water toys so we could play around on the lake. Many thanks to him! :thumb:

Thanks and glad you were able to get out and enjoy the water.

Yeah - there was a gaggle of goats at that overlook when we were there. Also got to see a grizzly from the boardwalk on the way to the overlook.

Saw a wolf on the way back from Kintla Lake as well.

Today's ride killed me, holy shit. Nonstop climbing in 90F heat and +72% humidity. Christ.

And went through forests of poison ivy. Luckily I sweat like a pig and thus the dirt protecting tan was on point today.

scrambled around on rocks looking for crabs at low tide, took the kids to dive off the dam at the local swimming hole, rode around the hood with the 8yo, now beer on the porch watching the sun set over the harbor before walking over to the local penny candy store for ice cream. #chillin

In hell. Welcome!
Bike maintenance day. Wet KT ride did a number on my drive train - riding through puddles and mud in berms covered me bike with silt and mud and finished off my chainring. I cleaned and waxed chain #3, realized it is time to rotate to #4 and installed new #4. Test ride - "crunch crunch crunch crunch" is back, @Sandwich knows what I am talking about. 30T chainring is done after 9 months of solid riding, replaced it with a new one, crunch sounds are gone. Cassette still feels OK, thanks @FSM. Beer time nao!

I need some chain lube bad.

Got a new cassette and a new freehub and discovered I need a new axle and end cap too. Fuck.

Good rides this weekend with @StiHacka and the crew. My camera was pointed at my stem so not much video

I bought an xd alloy driver for my onyx hub. currently shimano steel. i can save half a pound in the cassette and freehub, so i went for it. now i learn i also need a new axle and an end cap, for $50. boo hoo
