ZEN and ST George

Up and at ’em early today to make the 9:00 thanksgiving of a new CD player and XM tuner installed. Beat the shop’s opening. So great to have sounds that remain on where I want them to be instead of willy nilly shutting off.

Plan is to pick up Kevin @ his peeps house then drive to out skirts of ST George to ride the ZEN trail. He and his mom invited me to Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Just another great riding condition day under partial clouds and mid 60s temps.  Even the battery held in the EDGE. I suffered thru a loss of courage after yesterday’s ride. Just another technical ride today; ZEN is a challenging ride. We returned unscathed unlike yesterday’s scratch bath up on Goose.

Kevin showed me a place to camp outside of ST George on BLM land, Warner Valley.

Dropped of Kevin. Took a needed shower @ Rec center. Figured to charge me $3.00. 2 liquor stores in ST George. The one I picked was packed. Wine is only sold @ the state store.

Drove out to Warner Valley in the deepening dark. Found a spot off the edge of the gravel road.

Plan tomorrow is ride some more of Santa Clara trails then Thanksgiving dinner @ sports bar where I ate back in ’09. On a full stomach drive back to Hurricane. Have a ride w/ Dan on Friday, shop ride on Sat, Sun another ride. Weather forecast is more of sunny dry sixties.

May you have enjoyed your thanksgiving.
