Good job man!
Did you ride today?

I got a ride in prior to Thanksgiving, found one of my favorite local easy dirt trails was open again - it got clobbered by Helene. Haven't ridden since and I will not be riding for at least 2 more weeks due to having another gall bladder attack over the holiday, which resulted in surgery today to remove it. O well.
I needed to burn a few calories that I ate last week. Went south on the coast to La Jolla, Windansea, Mt. Soledad and thru UCSD campus. Got in 40-miles with 3000-feet elevation gain. Such a beautiful day out...

Get better man. Sucks to be forced off the bike!
After a week off the bike doing other shìt was able to sneak a ride in…
Em’s new Falconer Ti ATB:
And this ride “officially” put me over 2000 miles ridden for the year. (At least the rides where I kept track). Not too shabby for a novice rider as well as one month that I didn’t ride at all due to my concussion and busted scapula.

good job on the miles.
are your riding thru a graveyard?
Damn, it has been way too long. Nothing to post but my shame. Baby steps back into riding shape….
Dude. Much better than me having to ride a damn trainer after 12 hours wrenching on LCs when I'd **much** rather be pedaling outside in the sun!
I actually love small rides.
True! I’m not used to hitting anything under 10 miles but thinking more short hits a week until the snow flies might be the answer.
Another day, slightly longer ride in full sun and near 60 degrees, slightly better results. I'll take it.
This bullshít.
But damn, it has to happen or I lose my mind. I watched Michael Jordan 88-91 dunk compilations while pedaling. So lucky I was an adolescent through his entire career and could appreciate what I was witnessing.
Very inspiring now looking back 30+ years.

Beautiful, Fun day riding some single track in PHX with some MUD/LC folks: @Somebodyelse5 and friends. Great time. Thanks for the invite!
I did my first recon of a new road recently built by the Forest Service …. It’s a super awesome new detour that takes you to the Arizona Trail….
But …. I didn’t know that…. Ergo, I was on the wrong bike…. Super no bueno. I really needed a suspension bike. It was a long slog.
It was also my first ride over 7 miles utilizing my new clipped-in situation.., let’s just say that I have very bloody knees and elbows.

You'll get used to the clipless the more you ride with them. I'm by no means an MTB "expert" but found over time that you start anticipating when/if you need to clip out.
Put some GP 4 season tires on yesterday before the ride. Good thing I did - we went through a few places where there was "freezing fog/smog" on the paths across the valley and through SL's east/west spaghetti bowl interchange. A number of our roadies had to "hike a bike" it through those sections. Anyway, still high 30s/low 40s around here and the air quality wasn't too bad.
No riding today.
Hiked to the top of our local sky island mountain. Emily and I do it once a year. Sort of our yearly pilgrimage to Wrightson Gods.
Canelo Hills and the Huachucha Mtns to the east….
Patagonia Mountains, San Rafael Valley and deep into Mexico. My little town is there somewhere.
MUD salute for you miscreants…

Yeah, it’s getting much better the more miles I’m putting on the clipless system.
winter schminter. get a fat bike
jki went for my first ride today actually. we had two feet of snow in three days then it went to -30 then i had a couple terrible weeks of work where i wasn’t home till 10:00 at night then last weekend we had a thaw followed by an ice storm. so today was really the first day i felt i could ride outside. it felt sooooo good to be on a bike again. it’s been too long!! my wife came too which was a nice bonus!
