Derailed

Well, just as I was starting to think that I was finding some fitness and some motivation for more training I came off the track. Or more specifically, I came off the rock. At high speed in a wild twisting way. I was bouldering at a little local area on the one really good boulder [...]

Climbing, Riding and even some P90.

I’m slowly getting adjusted in the new home and the old hometown. Slowly the house is getting fixed and I am finding and making more time for exercise. Not to say that there haven’t been some hiccups. There have. First I pulled some muscle in my side and it was very painful to do some [...]

Update

Well, things have really been moving (some literaly, some figuratively) sinc e the last time I wrote something here. I started my new job teaching in Victorville and moved into the house in Apple Valley that I spent a large part of the summer working on with my dad. It was hectic, and it’s certainly [...]

Recharged

I feel like I have been working on the house much longer than the 3 weeks on the calendar indicates. There are so many small things to do when working on a renovation that it seems like days can go by where nothing obvious gets done. It’s also exhausting. Today I had a dentist appt. [...]

Working on the new place

I haven’t posted in quite a while. We took a road trip around California, visiting Tom’s Place near Mammoth, South Lake Tahoe, Sacramento area, Napa, the Big Sur Coast, Morro Bay, Santa Barbara and home. It was a good trip, but needed to be short so I could get home in order to help my [...]

2 in a Row.

I was out on the civilized bike again today. My legs were definitely a little heavy and I felt yesterday’s ride, but I think I felt better on the bike. I might hit it again tomorrow and see how 3 days in a row feels. It’s been a long time since I’ve done 3 road [...]

Civilized Bike Riding

I got out on the civilized bike yesterday. It was the first time in several months. I just am enjoying the hippie bike so much more right now. But the civilized bike is great for getting myself into shape and is also good for when it gets hot, which it definitely is right now. I [...]

Snake!

Took about a week off from riding with a short trip to Cabo San Lucas, MX for a friend’s wedding and then a short bout with a little cold after I returned. The day was low energy, but we had a good time and got some nice singletrack in. The trail was pretty sandy and [...]

Father’s Day and Getting Back At It

I celebrated my first Father’s Day yesterday. Amber surprised me with some nice presents and the sweetest card ever. I’m very lucky to have such a great wife. Here’s me and Levi while I look at the nice gifts.

Today I got back into the exercise regime by doing a quick weight workout. It’s been a [...]

Apple Valley

I took the full squishy and headed up to Apple Valley this morning. I met Chad and Kent, a couple of their friends and then later we met up wtih Gerald, who was looking for us. It was a typically Sycamore Rocks ride, which means it was slow speed technical stuff with a lot of [...]
