Scene
From yesterday’s ride. I finally seemed to’ve turned the corner on allergies yesterday. Now it’s just copious snot rather than cotton-stuffed sinuses. I’m hopeful it won’t be too much of a bummer this weekend. Speaking of which: lots of sleep is in order this evening. It’s going to be a big ‘un. In other news,…

Snotty gets a makeover
This is snotty the snot pack. (we have lots of packs, so some of them get names) Snotty is a Black Diamond Zippo pack, which I’ve owned since circa 2001. It’s a great daypack. Right size, solid construction, minimal extras, and a simple harness thats just perfect (for me). A put a big hole in…

Small Victories
The question about my lethargy this week: is it related to fatigue, or laziness? Luckily this afternoon I decided it was the former, and thus went for a ride. 305, time trial. Too bad I forgot to actually turn on my chrono, or I’d be able to be more exact. My best guess: 35-6 minutes.…

AZ Gravel Grinding
When I got home from work I took a short nap, and eventually roused myself and went out for a ride. Some singletrack exploring, lots of road riding. Legs are most certainly not back at 100%. (What’s taking so long?!) Little Trans Iowa action. Note golf course. 15 minutes from home, and 1:45 into the…

The Future
Royal Arch Creek M and I sat down and did some math this afternoon. Wednesday the 30th of July will be my last day of work. The next day we’ll head north. This will give us a couple days to pull the drive, convenient move-in time, and a few weeks to settle in before I’ll…
