Dregs
Photos with few thoughts. MC doing what he does. Arizona is good. Master turtle Dave Kirk. Cheaper than the TR bar. Apparently MC is acrophobic.But you wouldn’t know it by riding with him.

MoMA & The Narrows
Theme: perception as reality. First day in NYC was cool and drizzly, so we stuck to the subway and the MoMA. I was intrigued with the special exhibit Into the Sunset: Photography’s Image of the American West, on one of its last days. The exhibit was in one fairly large room with numerous center walls…

Two weeks
Is a very long time. So much has gone on in my last two, and I have so much I want to share. It’ll have to come in bits. Right now I am very glad to be home, to not be driving, and tired. So only a few things stand out. 2 Epic: Too crazy,…

We’re in Lake Placid, with a great sixth floor view of Mirror Lake. Mom and sis are contemplating roller-Bobsled rides tomorrow if it’s still raining.

Things I’ve seen lately
Got in a quick overnight backpack at Crater of the Moon National Monument on the way down to SLC. T-storms moving through the area made it a gorgeous evening. A very cool place, worthy of return visits. And in very good shape from a wet spring. NYC. Not much else to say. Museums, fantastic food,…

Ready
Yesterday morning I got out on the last official training ride before the KMC 200. I know the last ~10 day training block has gone well because even after two days off the bike, I struggled on the two 30 minute climbing repeats. With a fairly large and totally off the bike taper, the strategy…
