Bedrock & Paradox

Before I head out. Thumb Butte loop. Singletrack and road, Whiskey descent, with a bonus at the end. 2k of climbing in 90 minutes. Yeha! Edit: Something to look forward too later this year! Or not. Just six days left.

Got out for just a ride this beautiful afternoon. Businesslike on the singlespeed, plenty of fun moments running at rocks, plenty of moments leaning on the TT checking out the scene. Thought I saw some Enel tracks along the wash: Exi/Nevegal combo taking “unique” lines amongst and over certain boulders. Granite Mountain is a cool…

And now, I look to the future. An occasional curse on free moments and dull tasks at work. Spring is here! Time to get out! (pics for Ed and his short attention span) M leaves early tomorrow for Trans Iowa. A huge adventure. I’ve been a nag all too often in the past months; always…

Stan the man is back, with a follow up to last week’s article on “French theory.” Some notes: -His point that Derridean recurisve writing (of which he gives a good summary) is in some ways comparable to (for instance) St. Augustine is very interesting.

Stuff. Glaze. Bake in the clay roaster for ~100 minutes at ~380. Eat, with Scuffins TM. Chocolate-oatmeal-walnut Scuffins. The Joy of…

1: AZT 300 drama begins to close. Poor Chad, lucky Chris and Jefe. Hopefully Max has success and lets us live a little bit vicariously. Sounds like Mike’s training in the meat locker did some good, too. Chad, I told you so. You deserve a nice mountain bike as much as or more than anyone…

Too much to do this June, methinks.

So this what I know, from talking with Ed (as promised!), Marni, and getting a message from Dave (sorry, off riding): -Jefe (not Marshal!) fell asleep at the wheel, rolling and totaling the Element.-They’re both relatively fine, Jefe may have spleen issues.-They’re stuck in the Show Low hospital.-There’s some crazy shit involving a U-Haul?! Goes…

M’s off at work and/or the gym, so you all are the unwitting victims. Sorry. One of the things I don’t like about my job is the general orneriness in inculcates in me at times. I spend the days dealing as patiently as I am able with __________, and thus I have a perhaps unreasonable…
