Starting feeling poorly the moment I got on the bike. Been feeling
Lousy for about a week now. I was planning a bigger ride today but thats not gonna happen so I am doing some loops around ChLoop to get my cockpit dialed in (new stem). Stopped a few times to change the angle of the bars. Once I got that right, I stopped again to raise the brake levers. Then I stopped again to slide the seat back
(10 mm). Stem is 20 mm shorter than what was on there. The cockpit felt a little long all this time and it turns out that it was 10 mm too long because it feels perfect now but that makes the bike feel different too.

A perfect day has arrived after the yuck from yesterday. Its 44 degrees up here. Ran into a few of the OTB boys along the way. I can see a dusting of snow on Strawberry Peak across the valley.

I tried when we were playing in the snow at Four Corners. I had just enough reception to get a text, but not enough to send anything...

All of my rides from home require pavement riding. Its not quite that rural up here in the sticks.Looks like pavement... Better luck tomorrow!

No comment...I hope you start the Garmin only after completing the pavement.

Your runtastic app still works? Mine quit a few months ago.I turn off my Runtastic app every time I hit pavement - which is every ride. I don't want to cheat on my statistics!

Taking a breather atop Cherry Canyon, watching an e-biker use the assist to get up the hill. He is old and he is very out of shape, but I doubt that he has written permission to be riding that thing here where its clearly posted that they are not allowed.

Quickie El Prieto loop. Wasn't feeling strong enough to climb Upper Brown to KB trailhead sign today. I stopped ten million times on the way up trying to track down an ever worsening creak. I hope its just the BB bearings.

Death march? That's a pretty big pack J's got on.
Little short for a death march...

If the tires have actual tread, it's an adventure bike.
I was going to say that roadies don't smile... ever.
