Day 309, 7/6/15

Rode Bruce down from BH.


Day 310

Bruce was already down at the office but I rode him back and forth to the maintenance shed in the rain to get gear for Adventure.


Day 311

135 S was completely washed over cause ADV to camp back at Rancho.  Rode back to maintenance to drop off their soap test bottle and then up to Tall Pines to get HR's soaked ropes... which is better than soaked cork.

Finally made it up the Darn hill without touching down!  I discovered the trick is to keep your center of gravity as low as possible.  This keeps weight on the back wheel while preventing the front from popping up.


Day 312

Went for a jog on the gravel roads.  This should become a habit.

Rode around camp and later up to Gatesville Rd.  Had to cut the evening's ride short due to a bubble in my rear tube.  Need to sort it out before Indy Crit on Saturday.


Day 313

Again ran the gravel roads this morning.  Rode down from BH in the beginnings of the day's rain.

My newest equipment came in the mail this week.

Keen's Arroyo II.  This deconstructed hiking shoe is supportive and comfortable.  They run a little big.

Z/2 Unaweep Chaco.  Came highly recommended.  Great for more casual activities.
