Thurs AM drove into town to meet Zul for Hangover. We met, his employment called him to a day of driving a Pink Jeep filled w/ tourists around Sedona & up 4X slick rock. His Monday ride will be a doozy.

Plan B, called Janet, Doc’s wife to invite me in on her ride. She is leading the 2 Albuque women: Sandi who just turned 50 and Diane. They left their husbands snowbound. Token guy. Jan lead us on another Sedona ride: technical tight single track. Sandi showed no ill effects from her fall yesterday. Very good riders. First time here.

Janet let me shower.  Headed back to deer pass. Got my place, nobody else here. Sewed up biggest holes in my torn shorts. Dean called, we scheduled another Sat trail build day.

Watched Zags on my computer last night. Got beat.

Called Janet to invite myself on her ride, hoping it was H….e. Sandi returned for her 3rd ride w/ us. Rode Chuck Wagon again. Janet said that this trail is her favorite.

At the TH a woman was looking the back of my van over. She turned to see me and asked if the van was mine and if she could take pictures of it. She owns a sticker making company which printed several of the stickies on the van. Cool.

Bikemag contacted me for a story. A photographer for the mag called me this PM and we scheduled a photo shoot.

1 more day of Flagyl, first beer after 11 days will be Monday. no gurgling belly sounds but still soft stool.

Nights are getting warmer. I start the heater well after dinner and run it on low thru the night. I sleep w/ juts 1 layer of the down blanket. Toasty low 50s when I crawl out. Outside temp is in upper 30s, no more freeze thaw mud.

  1. Crag, Relish being the darling of the curious & the media! We will finally be skiing in some sunshine today. Enjoy the journey.

  2. C,

    Very nice on the BikeMag deal. Maybe it lets the cat out of the bag a little, but I think your story is truly a great one. Hey, I’ll bet you get some (or will get some from bike, etc. makers!) goodies out of it.

    As always, enjoy riding along with you, even if it is only via the web.

    -Todd
