Didn't hurt, but I learned my lesson.

No more mountain biking?

No more mountain biking?

Now I know where that tree is.

 

[tri_vol]

have you endo'd yet?

 

[VOLatile]

have you endo'd yet?

No, but I use my back brakes about 70% of the time. I crashed hard today thanks to some wet roots. I wasn't the first to eat it, though. Good times.

 

[Velo Vol]

I did not crash today.

 

[Velo Vol]

I have not crashed this year.

 

[VOLatile]

I have not crashed this year.

I've gone down twice this year. Funny thing is, I got back up and was doing bigger drops and sketchier stuff than before I went down.

 

[Velo Vol]

I did not crash last year.

 

[Velo Vol]

Does anyone else, upon waking up in the middle of the night, ever get the urge to update their mileage log? That's normal, right?


1,367 miles.

 

[VOLatile]

What do you ride, VV?

[VOLatile]

Nice.

Another tree jumped out in front of me today...

 

[Velo Vol]

I did not crash in 2010.

 

[VOLatile]

I did not crash in 2010.

I crashed once in 2010, and it was a very, very bad one and I'm lucky to be alive after it.

Suppose I'll take the road bike out today. I'm sure it feels neglected.

I cruised around as a course monitor for the Knoxville Marathon today.

Running is dumb.

I hate running.

43 miles on the road bike. Wind for 22 miles of it. It felt great to hold 28 mph for several miles.

 

[Velo Vol]

51.4 miles
13.4 mph average

Held 10 mph for many miles. Oh yes.

As long as you're riding. :hi:

I drank a big mug of coffee stout before I attacked the final hill today. I should do that every time.

I bet many of the suffering runners would have traded. Very few of them looked like they were having any fun. Meanwhile, I was enjoying leisurely rolling around on the warm spring day.

 

[VOLatile]

18 miles of trail tonight. Took some risks that paid off big time in adrenaline.

 

[Velo Vol]

Rest day.

 

[VOLatile]

Participating in 30 days of biking, so no rest days for me through April.

 

[Velo Vol]

I participated for one day, apparently.

 

[VOLatile]

I think I'm going to make a ghetto dropper seatpost today since I sent my nuts into my throat twice yesterday. I'll add a spring return, also, so I raise it on the fly.

 

[Velo Vol]

I don't even know what that is.
