Plan today is MBH Wed shop ride. Dean is coming along. Had a small gaggle of regular riders plus Adrian from Radium Hot Springs up in BC near Rogers Pass. He visited here last year same time and remembered me, saw the article in MBA. Today’s ride was over towards Coffee Pot and beyond. Blue bird skies, bit of a breeze, and temps in shirt sleeve comfort Just Sedona riding: chunky & challenging, just the usual stuff. Amazing that we saw only 2 other bikers the entire time we were out. 9.97 miles took 2 hours of riding & climbed 1528′.
Yesterday I bought a piece of wild salmon, I split it into 2 pieces, and steamed it for dinner. Steaming minimized the fish smell. Worked out so well and tasted so good I fixed the other half tonight. My cooking skills and aptitude have sunk due to lack of desire and kitchen facility.
Folks from VA have been getting all the goods. Today Chewie lead them on Hangover and Damifino. I believe tomorrow they ride w/ Joe Murray who lives up in Flag. Chewie is a very skilled rider.
Houseless Doug ran out of food and money. He paid a visit to the local food bank and scored 4 bags of great groceries.
My confidence level is inching upward @ glacial speed but I am riding stuff I walked in the past. I am better this year than last. I ordered a Rockshox Monarch shock directly from PUSH that will be custom tuned to my riding and bike. This shock will improve the rear suspension, my goal is throwing $ to overcome my lack of skill.
Another day awaits tomorrow.
