Mother's Day

75 degrees and sunny with a 100% chance of climbing.

I just spent 2 full days riding Pisgah all by my damn self. Sycamore hooked me up with a Stumpjumper with lots of moving parts and it was a fine thing. I blew myself up pretty good on Saturday trying to mash up every hill. Yesterday's ride was most rad with almost more gravel switchback climbing and more rocky ledgy singletrack than I could handle. I'll be back there in two weeks. I talked a co-worker into coming with me. These guys have it made down here.

I know that fitness is coming back when everything else starts to get a little bit fuzzy around the edges.

Old Fat Guy Training

Greetings from La Quinta or gate C32 or a hotel treadmill or another Outback Steakhouse for Jesus' sake!

I left Bruker for a better job. We are moving to Shorewood in the early summer. Lots of work related travel lately so the bikes have been lonely after a sick and strange winter. March and April (most of April in North Carolina!) look promising for lots of bike time so I hope to salvage a season of some kind. I will try not to be such a stranger around here now that I can settle into some kind of rhythm. Much love.
