    Not grossed out. Just don't want to be in the line of fire.

    Always check your surroundings before firing. :thumbsup:

    Ugh, is there anything you can do? Trainer? When I completely broke my pinky toe in two I’d wrap it up and do yoga, I’d also wrap it lightly and squeeze into my mtb shoe for a ride.:whistling:
    But your break may be more severe! Don’t listen to me:stop:

    No bike, for a whole week! Checking out Bend Oregon. 8 miles on flowing, snowy single tracks is pretty good though.

    I used to run with a group of girls and we debated on calling ourselves the Snot Rockets or Trail Trash(because we picked up trash). :laugh:

    We have yet to meet Sara, but are very alike. I wear shorts with cargo pockets on purpose and fill them with trash on almost every ride. ;)

    Cuzz... it peaked at 34 degrees, lots of snow and ice on the trails. The bike path had some dry spots, so we climbed (sideways) again on the freeway bridge abutment wall.

    I barely got chicked this time. Tha weasel is one ferocious puller. She cranked through a section that I failed several times on using her technique. By the time I figured out a way I could do it, I was too gassed to pull through it. She slots those thin digits in places I get just tips. Her technique is very good, +5” ape index, strong and focused; no way I can compete on thin cracks and crimps. No shocker, my old lady is badass at everything she does. AYE!!!! :thumbsup::inlove::thumbsup:

    Including snot rockets :geek:

    I didn't ride my bike today because I was working. I'm always working except when I'm on vacation. Then I'm always on vacation. :D

    No bike ride today, instead I tested out the knee on a slow SOT hike. The good news is it felt ok,
    the bad news..the MRI showed a partial tear in the ACL prosthesis, and a number of other issues re the lateral meniscus..WTF
    Anyways..back to snot rockets and why we didn’t ride our bikes today, gotta rise above this funk!

    It was pretty good- I learned a lot. Slightly warmer gloves and maybe some ear covers would have been downright cozy.

    What J said...not happy about that second paragraph. But glad you are bent on staying active, Sar – it serves us well for the most part. Try to be nice to those pesky joints! Easier said than done, but a little discretion can prolong physical capabilities. The lesson that keeps on giving!! :bang::oops::cool: Keep on the mend!
