I DIDN'T Ride My Bike Today, Cuzz....

....because I was adventuring in da Park...

 

Great pics, cool lizards.
Gotta get out there for so climbing before the summer heat.

 

What's funny is that the physical therapist saw the images and diplomatically said "you have a lot going on there."

Given improvements up to this point, my current plan is to make May 1 (tomorrow) my return to outdoor cycling.

 

Let us know how it goes! (Or how it went at this point).

 

yeah.....posting here again, well because.....

 

Well, you're not quite completely down and out...

Thanks again for the help sorting out the "indexed steering" my ride was suffering.

 

Cause I'm in Maui ....sun and beach today....now it's rain and lightning.... Sitting in the condo watching the surf and rain ...I like Maui. Too bad there ain't really any mtb here....

Bought an avocado at the local farmers market, it's the size is a grapefruit, looking forward to eating that sucker.....

 

Go to Paia Fish Market in Paia. You're welcome.

 

Been to the Paia fish market in kehei , tomorrow Mamas fish house.

 

does this guy have a name

 

Face Rock. Its on the Face Rock connector trail to the Split Rock trail loop.

However, I feel that "Rocky" is an appropriate name.

 

I am going to Maui in June, you can rent a bike at Krank cycles. I have a Ripmo AF rented just in case the Skyline trail opens back up. My friend own a B&B in Paia called the Mangolani Inn.

 

It didn't went due to high winds. It's May and May blows in the Antelope Valley(it blew Mikie all the way to Arkansas). Instead I did a ramp test on the trainer with Golden Cheetah to see where I'm starting again. Found out what I already knew which is that my power is down 20-30W and my heart rate up 10-15.

After 16mi/1900' yesterday though, I think it will take less time to get back where I was than it did to just get there the first time.

 

Oh I didn’t ride today cuzz it’s new furniture day and I had to move all told sh!t out early this morning cause we had an 8:00 - 12:00 delivery window. Well it’s 5:00 now and it still ain’t here. About noon the wifey got tired of hearing me complain about her overpriced useless furniture so I went to the shop to fine tune some things and break a couple endmills.. Now I’m catching up on my beer drinking and sitting in the back yard on the old recliner.

 

Oh wait it’s 6:15pm and they just showed up. Problem is they brought the wrong sh!t. Somehow I’m laughing but now the Mr’s is pissed…

 

Covid consultants. Covid Labor? Something changed in service industry the past few years. You want something done these days? You gotta do it yourself.

 

Oh trust me I wanted to do it myself but it was free delivery, such a bargain…

 

Cuzz I drove 550 miles today to Richfield, Utah on my way to Fruita, Colorado. I thought of @Runs with Scissors and Evdog when I passed Beaver, Utah because they have talked about this place plus Evdog found great riding here. - And Richfield now where @herzalot stayed as he passed through this town in the past. I'm comfortable in Richfield because I've been coming here for many years. With Kokopelli coming up on Thursday I thought riding a known place at 5,300 feet above see level would be good for me.

 

Wow - I'm flattered you remembered. I have stopped in Richfield (mostly the Flying J) like 2-4 times a year for the 20 years I've lived in CA and commuted back to CO for visits. That said - I have only stayed overnight there once. I usually stay in Cedar City - sometimes St. George.

Have fun in Fruita! I know it's cliche, but keep the rubber side down, or at least bring it down gently if you intentionally (and temporarily) leave the earth.

 

Hhmmm... This makes me think.... I'll be in Delta CO mid June for work, and thinking I can spend the weekend in grand junction to ride fruita, Saturday and maybe Sunday. Company pays the airfare and hotel...... Hehe.......

 

Any chance you're going to Marble, CO while you are that close? I mean, given your line of work, I would think that's a given.

 

I'll be in Marble Colorado next week. We have a very nice quarry there I'll be visiting, so yep, your spot on. As a note, the Lincoln memorial was quarried from there, as was the tomb of the unknown soldier, and still going strong!

 

Oops...

 

No riding for a week. Walked into the bed frame and broke my little toe.....
Times have changed. 12 years ago I was riding my bike wearing a cast on my fractured wrist and with a seperated shoulder.
To be young again. . . .

 

Ooof - sorry to hear.

 

Yup..::still posting here…..

However I did get out….



About 95* went I set out. It was emptying out there. Sooooo nice.
Felt good to get the blood pumping.

 

There are two tombs of the unknowns. One sits in a tranquil valley behind Lee's home (really his wife's house the former Miss Custis). It does not have an honour guard, How quickly we forget. They had to abandoned this home because someone had the audacity to put a cemetery in the back yard.

 

Glad you got out! So I guess none of those pesky mountain bikers interrupted your hike?

 

Nope no new furniture being delivered.
Nope not hiking in the desert.
Nope not surfing.

Just playing in septic water.
I hear it is the cure for monkeyflu.....
