During this time of no riding I have been hiking. The only weight on my shoulders is a vest w/ a pint of h20 and my phone. No camera. The scenery is just red rock that y’all have seen already. Move on there is nothing to see here.
I receive PT 2X a week. Effort is moving to strengthening. Today I enjoyed a second massage of my upper body. I am to do just 1 set of exercises per day followed by stretching and icing.
Yesterday my brake returned from service overhaul. I installed it then pedaled around the parking lot feeling my shoulder and bedding in the brake pads. Brake will now lock up the rear wheel w/ ease and have modulation.
Steve from Sun Valley returned. Beth returned to Moab.
Today I rode from the Bean out to Red Rock crossing and back. Most of 5 miles was pavement, the rest was slightly bumpy dirt. No foul. I pedaled strongly. No rigorous upper body work out, just pounding the pedals. Acceptable shoulder discomfort.
Feb 17. At 6PM it was 64 degrees w/ relative humidity of 18%. Sun was setting.
I have a foot DR exam on Thurs. My foot hurts when I put weight on it.
My new tent arrived today. Made by Tarptent, model is Moment. I am searching for a suitable pitching spot, prefer grass that dogs have not wetted. Not happening. It requires seam sealing.
