Up into the clouds today. Saw a large bug of some kind that looked like a dog turd. Anyone know what it is? Kept up with a gravel guy climbing up the mountainMy fitness must be improving.

Ruff day. Woke up with headache. No energy during the ride.

Then I went OTB on some rocks, following someone who was doing the trail for the first time. Would normally be going much faster on that section of trail - front wheel went in a hole and out the front I went. Bars and brakes are all scratched now :(

But thankfully no injury, other than some road rash on the right forearm. Phone is bent too, which judging from the hole in my favorite riding shorts (dammit), it probably saved my thigh from smoking a rock.

Great day out there though.

Quick one today. Bagged 750m in a fairly leisurely 1h20. Feeling good on the bike. Saw a car get rear-ended and it put the guy in tears. Otherwise straightforward ride. My fork is knly getting 100mm!?!
