Does anything beat weekend riding plans with friends? Just took the Ranger out for a rocky breakfast before work and I’m ready to party in Buffalo Creek tomorrow morning 😌
Folks, it’s been a shit day. I had to be a real jerk to a customer support guy for a wheel company because they ghosted me for over a week. I feel like a total asshole.
Every year I understand more why some people are snow birds and move between cities. If I was in a serious relationship, I’d definitely buy a second place in a warmer winter location.
Random Cosmos DB thoughts: working on Cosmos DB requires changing your mentality from SQL Server. Rather than “what’s wrong with the server,” you often need to ask “what setting or code is wrong on the client?”
Kinda scared of what’s happening to the US. It’s easy to get scared reading stuff online but this time just feels different, there’s a consensus that we’re fucked in many important ways. Don’t get me wrong, not giving up hope and I’m still voting.
Today I stumbled across an issue that I brought up a year ago and it’s worse than before. I can’t do anything to fix it directly myself but I’ll be as respectfully annoying to the right people as possible.
I was in shock today when a woman yelled at me for telling her that I was coming up behind her on my bike. She said I should go bike on bike-only trails, which is weirdly supportive since we only have like 3 near Denver.
Two friends broke their collarbones this week. One person was on a city bike and hit a sunken manhole cover and the other person crashed their mountain bike. Stay safe out there, friends.
My friend crashed on a city bike today and we had to take them to the ER, it’s looking like a broken collarbone. One stranger let us stash the city bikes in his garage and let us in to get them back later.
There’s good people out there. I appreciate humanity.
Back on the Maxxis tires. I was trying to support this small company, Versus Tires (on the left of the photo) but they had very little traction on Colorado’s loose dry trails.
Pet peeve: when a recorded training class has multiple 1-4 minute videos that just introduce the current topic. Pluralsight requires this I know but other training does it too..
I’m in the best cardio shape of my life. 2k-4k elevation bike rides, faster, more rides per week. It’s possible to change anything, I’ve been a weight lifting bro for years. The key was zone 2 riding, slow pace but long duration. Don’t go all out every ride or run.
