Rough start of the year

After a nice family trip to heber, I was enjoying time with the bike off my mind. After a week off the bike itch came to scratch saturday morning. Feeling a very very busy mind I manged to not be paying enough attention and went down pretty gracefull on high ridge. I hate that second you go to get off the ground and your mind is alreaday scanning, am I broke, will I walk again, am I fine? Luckily I took just dirt to my side this time and hurt my palm a bit, but nothing to interupt the rest of the ride but a heck of a shakeup to start the first ride of the year LOL.

Streak comes to an end

The last ride was for hawes, I did 3 alpes and that was enough for me, the legs were hurting!

Good stuff

Bounced around hawes on a bit of a different route, by now the 4 ride streak is taking a toll on the legs.

Somo

Back to somo for something different, the plan was corona and I had the place mostly to myself which was nice. Caught a nice sun rise to the sound of planes taking off form phoenix, it's nice to view that city from a distance, there was a thick layer of gunsmoke and crime form the day before, I mean haze from pollution. I had a clean run down Corona cleaned 100% and hope to remember the lines to do so again, should have dropped the post, crazy without a dropper right :) The rest was the idea of going to geronimo but ran short on time so javalina it was.

Me and the cows

Well here we are day two of christmas break, had to go somewhere else so gold canyon it was. I was the only one out there, cool and nice with the cows. Thos elonghorns are the most docile cow ever I love them, they are so nice to get off the trail.

Cool and quiet

The day after Christmas, all is well and despite my wife trying to convince me to buy a bike for christmas I couldn't find myself to do it, it's quite hard to explain but likely falls on foolishness on my behalf...... normal hawes stuff, nothing to report.

Rain delay

Got up early for a saturday wet ride, Was planning on some rain getting on me and all seemed ok unitl I got half way up alpe when the rain came down harder and I got too wet and a little chilly. I took the radar for granted and didn't pay enough attention, I could of rode thru it but in the dark my ambition sent me to the car after the ride down high ridge. The car fely so good the heat on, light trickled in very slowly as I sat waiting for it to let off, I could see it could be another 45-60 minutes, I waited 30 minutes and headed home to call it a day. But as I headed home te skies opened and blue sky and sun poked through so I stopped home, changed and went back after it! So glad I did as I went through a series of emotions all morning and even days before, the second go was perfect! the clouds came back but soil and all were wonderful.
