There’s pain then there is the Wailer

The Wailer on MT Spokane, if you know it you know about it. Monster uphill climb. Put a hurt on me. 31 hr recovery time after that ride.

Late Sat night. Spent writing time listening to this weeks Wait Wait that required focus . I listen to music and am able to concentrate on writing. Lost the time, now I am ready for bed.

Still here in Spokane. Van seems to be having drive line issue, Found a shop for service but first appointment is the 14th. I will remain close here till van is back to health.

Today I rode at Riverside SP as recovery. I started following flagging for a horse ride event going to the far reaches of the park. I rode here many years ago as I wandered up to friends Larry and Theresa’ house. I headed in their direction. faint memory enhanced by wandering I found their road where I knew their driveway. I rode in, they were at home. we visited for a couple hours then I headed back. They are my first Spokane friends from back in 1990 when I arrived in the town.

Bed time.
