Maydom
May 6th here and we saw snow. Then Blair comes into a difficult day, ready to head out for a night ride. Damn.
Next up I hope will be the 12 Hours of Mesa Verde as long as my sponsor pulls through with the entry.
What? It’ll be the first camping trip for the fam. I’ll ride my dumb ass around for half the day on Saturday, then we’ll chill Sunday and check out the ruins and a bit of Cortez. Should be a good time.
Ordered Stans ZTR 355 rims today and I’m going to be lacing those to a set of American Classic Hubs that look like they may not last a season. They’re so milled out it’s ridiculous. But fuck it, Precious rolled me a nice deal at The Joe Murray Swap, so I had to. I also snagged a pair of hand made Evil Kim paniers that are the coolest.
MBAA finals are up here on the 17th. Very impressive. I might have to attend, but as HB says “and really, is 30 miles a ‘marathon’ race?” What to do? I’m sure if I try hard enough, it will hurt. But then again, why am I paying someone money to ride my trails and with a bunch of other people when mostly, solo es muy buenoer. Sounds retarded on paper.
Tie it all up with a Coconino Dirty Century complete with free results. I may bring a couple of double shots for that one, and then leisurely throw the cans aside as I pedal.
