What is “is”? Seems i have hit accidental keys.
Sunday night out at Beaverhead. This AM the party who had set up home pulled out behind me. Maybe tonight I get the spot. Someone else scored both the above and the below spots. I’m off the first right turn after the overlook at a turnout before the big open spot. I drove into that one not seeing a rig. I parked and got out when I noticed camping gear of sorts stashed against a tree. I drove away.
Today was the Old Mans ride where I am the oldest and least skilled of the small bunch. Again a white shirt and tie me setting the style bar that no one chose even to step up. Only thing worse than being wrong is being right before its time. I need acolytes. Pedaling up Rabbit Ridge is a low grade gentle climb over all kinds of loose rocks. I stayed on Ian”s wheel following his actions until I blew up. I pushed too hard. I took a few more breathers before I joined the group above the waterfall. First time this visit to ride and hike a bike this trail. Old Sedona technical. I fell just above the start of a steep climb of loose rubble chewed up by horses. I stalled and grabbed my brakes. The rear wheel stopped because of my squeeze which pitched me over backwards. Left side impact. I ride what I can and walk what I need to. I seem to ride the same way as I did on the Spot hence neglecting what this bike can do better. I keep working at it.
Sat I rode from the Bean concentrating on remain aerobic. Trails are loose and dusty where that would be what I was on, otherwise slick rock and chunder.
Friday was PT in the AM then drove down to the Bean for the Friday shop ride at 3. Gang gathered then the flag was dropped at I was way off the back. I left the group for my own ride as I am unwilling and able to ride at their levels.
Riders rejoined at the shop for beer and pizza. I managed my time for a shower and visiting to make PJs to watch Gonzaga vs Syracuse. Zags lost a heart breaker.
38mph gusts forecast for Mon day and night. I planned a rest day because of forecast. Tuesday night temp of 27 degrees. And catclaw is leafing which is to happen after the last frost like the plants trigger their action on what vibe?
This AM when I stood up once I slid over the edge of my bed my knees greeted their work w/ a groan and creaks. I did my knee bend exercises before breakfast per usual. I coerced compliance.
Saturday and today was an art craft show in the parking lot which took up the center aisle of parking. I parked at the far edge in front of a closed business. I trailhead parked as I am permitted to. Upon my return I found a printed paper under the windshield wiper. Its gist was parking is for business and not bicyclists. Not the same form the big guy uses as this one had no threat of towing.
Plant growth trigger is usually nighttime low temps.
