    I haven't ridden since last Saturday's jaunt up to Santiago Peak. I will probably ride Friday, but don't know what. My commuting season is basically over since I don't particularly enjoy mingling with the idiots going home in the dark. :confused:

    Trainer and trail runs, here I come. :thumbsup::eek:

    I've been off my bike since Sunday. :eek: Working 1:00-10:00 has kinda thrown my system outta whack. I'm off for a few days, plus the weekend....so hopefully getting back at it.

    I caught a couple!

    It was actually way better than I expected, shoulder maybe head high on the sets, no wind, combo swell, peaky, and barreling on the incoming tide. I caught five waves in 30 minutes and my arms were toast (I've surfed once in 2017 so, out of paddling shape). Got a quick little left tube that was perfection.

    I managed a ride ... dirt was tacky and only 1 spot where mud needed to be avoided.

    I dunno....we got some rain. And I could see the Santa Anas for most of my ride. Didn't look too bad, it was just too far away for today.

    It looked like thick pea soup from Santiago Peak to San Juan early this morning, which is the direction we were thinking of heading... Modjeska to the north was pretty clear.

    You can now ride without busting your knuckle or bars on most of the trail. Still a few short sections that are still narrow.

    Another day.....another day I didn't ride. :(

    Got a blister on my heel from hiking yesterday.....getting on my cycling shoe on.....Not happening today.

    Also, as I feared, my ankle is not happy after all the hiking yesterday.......got that numb, throbbing feeling going on today. :mad:

    I didn't ride today because I had one too many beers last and fell asleep on the bathroom floor. Not sure what time it was but at one point I looked out into the hall and Jennifer was laying there half asleep. I woke her up so we could go to bed and she told me she had fallen asleep watching me to make sure I was okay. That's a good woman right there.

    I think we got up around 9 and neither one of us felt like doing anything. We ended up taking a load of palm fronds to the dump and meeting Jennifer's mom and aunt for lunch afterwards. I'm guessing giving my body a day of rest can't hurt?

    Well a bit preemptive. I will be off the bike as I am leaving today for Kyiv (Kiev) Ukraine for work. I am taking one day to tour Chernobyl (For Reals). Some laughingly said what do you think the the MTBing Scene is like there.. I said "Chernobyl... probably deserted... trails to your self".

    Then I ran across this in a coincidence, I had no idea

    "In a single season, Yana Belomoina went from becoming the first Ukrainian to ever win a UCI World Cup race to becoming the first-ever Ukrainian overall World Cup winner."

    3rd one down...

    The BMX Woman is pretty cool too... not sure if it goes in Pure Stoke or MTB Hotties...
