Last night I got my favorite sleep spot @ Deer pass rd where the Bike mag photo was taken. Balloons not close enough to hear the propane burners.
Packed up & headed down to BnB. Today I am going on my first dirt ride after my fall. Riding fro BnB on Bell Rock pathway then to Llama and back. I wore my new osprey hydration pack. Scot @ BnB straightened me out on the propedal setting on my shock. The Spot does not need propedal which dampens the pedal bob and makes the suspension less subtle. Today I enjoyed a subtle rear end. I rode conservatively where I walked several ups and downs that I previously rode. I needed to lessen the upper body action. Felt good. My shoulder still hurts all the time but I believe I felt no additional pain from the ride.
Hung out @ BnB afterwards. Finally took a pic of the shop:
Shower @ spa, grocery shop, & head out to Deer Pass site. Scored my spot again.
Tomorrow is chiro appointment and Thurs is ortho DR.
Monday I finally set down to figure my taxes using an on line version of Turbo Tax. Completed, I owe a manageable amount from investment performances.
Spent Mon PM @ Fat Tire shop replacing my old grip shifts w/ Fixie Dave’s slightly used ones and the cables & housings to them. Dave busied himself attending to small things I never paid attention to.
Fri night forecast is for snow level below Sedona’s elevation.
Hey Craig, Glad to hear you are tiptoeing back into the dirt. Be Cool. I’m the guy with the blown achilles and I to am in the process of making my comeback. It feels great to hit some trails again, don’t it? Walter
