Girlfriend’s dad passed late in the day on Monday, my Grampa passed today. She’s in RI taking care of all those affairs, I’ll be heading back to IN for Grampa’s funeral. Maybe she’ll meet me on her way back to CO? I dunno. It’s been a weird week... at least I’ve managed to keep the doggos alive while she’s been gone.

Dislike.

Had carbonara this evening with guanciale. Goddam that's some buttery, tasty pig.

4-day weekend starting in 8 hours. Need to decide where to ride.

Ride #1 was a post work 30 miles/3350ft vert on the road.

Tomorrow looking like it is DH at Winter Park, @Nick if interested.

1100 feet per 10 miles is solid.
Are you on Strava?

Nah, I'm anti-social

Normal target for each year is 3650 miles, 500,000ft vert. Normally wife and I are close with a bunch of DH days on top.

We have a (road) climb here that is 1000 feet in 1.8 miles, I am hoping to do that five times sometime this summer. The wind is almost always to your back, so that helps.

My condolences, Evan. Shaina’s dad couldn’t have been that old(?).

Am I the only one that likes slow ass, technical climbs that keep the group of real athletes within my line of sight?

@6thElement ... have you ridden Cub Creek? Tentative for Friday morning.

Some select and very local rides are 300-400' per mile on the up. Soul crushers for a guy like me .

Negative, you just doing out and back or all the way to Staunton?

we usually average between 3000-4000 feet over 15-20 miles in le pisgah.

Heading out from my house I'm on dirt straight into the closest park, similar ratio to the above, e.g. yesterday was 9 miles, 1800ft.​

Cold and rainy today, but sometimes you just have to get over it. I mean literally climb the fuck over it.

Sorry to hear, @FT.
I am totally spoiled by the low humidity heat here in my home country. 90s in Boston are going to beat the crap out of me soon.
