That’s what my spread sheet total is for riding a mountain bike since July, 2008. On 3 different Turner 5 Spots. Nothing is original. The front derailleur is the oldest part installed back in Jan 2010 on the DW 5 Spot. The PUSH tuned Monarch shock is just a little younger.
The chiro adjustment freed up my shoulder giving me a big smile. yesterday’s acupuncture helped other issues. Forecast last night was for more precip. I awoke this AM after a pleasant sleep w/ sunlight pouring thru the windshield. Absolute blue sky. I checked out the road to my favorite spot where a rig has been since before rain fell. The FS posted a sandwich board sign closing the road which was all kinds of chewed up.
I drove to the Bean. I asked for 1/2″ to be cut off each end of the bar. Tim advised me to raise the bar to sit more upright to lessen weight on my hands. I put cleats on my warranty replacement Terraduro shoes. I still did not wear a pack. I pedaled away just happy to be pedaling outside. I feel pain in my shoulder. I rode a piece of Baldwin single track. Amazing how non muddy the trail was even w/ water running across the trail in the washes. Watch out for the black stuff as it is slippery. Red Rock Crossing on Oak Creek is large stepping stones w/ just get your feet wet depth. I call it Pink Feet as that is what my feet change to. Today the water was pink nuts high. It had been higher as seen by the debris higher in the trees.
2 nights ago I experienced a painful heartburn. Very painful. Alcohol induced. Yesterday I drank non and my stomach was quite happy. Today I only drank 1 beer. Lay off the moonshine for recovery.
A print shop is making new calling cards for me using a picture that Jan took of me. New look.
I took a hot shower this evening that dried out my skin, I want to scratch dry skin.
Craig, you were off by just one mile. Remember your first ride at French Lick, when your Garmin came off…I had to throw that one in there! Have a good one bud!!
