So the place where I have been parking to ride has been getting sketchier by the day. Last week I noticed some obvious gang activity, but they were polite. This afternoon, around the time I would be hitting the trail, a guy was shot near the trailhead. Good thing my dad needed some help this afternoon.

Neither of those spots. Hobby is where you ride if you want to make friends with random dudes who are not on bikes out in the woods. Coincidently it's a spandex racer-boi place anyway. Haven't been there in years.

I'm pretty much over this place. Just can't afford to relocate and not sure where I'd want to go.

Dropped off the bike to my friend. Test rode a motorcycle. Met my friends at the trailhead. Rode my bike. Cool new trails. Had fun. Still cannot ride a Wheelie. Got back on the motorcycle. Rode home. Stopped along the way for Jersey mikes. They make delicious sandwiches.

Gonna go watch my kid’s robotics competition. I guess he built a projectile device for their robot. that was loosely based off of how automatic tennis ball-launchers work. Pretty creative. He’s a total peacenik, though.
oldest nephew is flying to dallas with school for some sort of competition type shit....

Ah gotcha. I've driven across Kansas, eight hours of nothing. The ladies at the visitor's center were nice though. Gave me coffee and told me some random Kansas trivia.
