I spent most of the day dribbling away in exhaustion from the soul ride. I’ve been more tired, but it is difficult to focus on anything for too long. So I’ve been blasting the Crimson DVD, excited for the concert tonight. If the concert is a hundredth of the performance on the DVD it could …. [Continue reading] The Ride of Soul is over; it was an interesting one. I am still estatic about it. I was able to finish the race riding strong and without knee problems. Contrast this with last year when I lined up to ride 100 miles of dirt without riding 100 miles (total) in the previous two months. …. [Continue reading] Version 1.5 is up. What’s new? 2 meter topo maps, area calculation, GPX association, trackseg breaking, qsorted map index file and a slew of bug fixes. We’re handling Terraserver’s “internal server errors” almost unnoticably now. Backtracking… 10/22/03 – Went for night ride at Starr Pass with Hottie. Beautiful night. It was interesting to hit pockets …. [Continue reading] Terrasever is once again having problems. TopoFusion is able to grab some tiles, but starts to choke on “internal server errors”. This is about the third time this has happened in the last few months. I added area calculation for tracks and fixed up the “tracksegs” problems–hopefully. We should be releasing a new version soon. We woke up today with out any specific plan, but there was talk of a ride. After eating breakfast we decided to get ready and head south to the Santa Ritas. Hottie is off her training regiment, so she’ll ride too! We made the drive down 83 and pulled into Gardner canyon. It was …. [Continue reading] Back from an enjoyable walk up at the Richard ‘Dick’ McGee trailhead. Construction was well underway on several new homes, each inches from the wilderness boundary. They were blasting away with power tools, even on a Saturday. We hiked up Ponototoc ridge to the ‘no dogs’ sign and Odin ventured up to the mine. …. [Continue reading] Wednesday saw endless indecision over the RNR Joshua Tree trip for me. I am sure it would have been a worthwhile trip, but in the end I stayed. I have much work to do finding trails and Hottie is not running for the next week which means she’ll ride and hike with me. Who can …. [Continue reading] Today, a nice lazy Sunday. I needed it. I cooked Quesadillas all day long, did yardwork and enjoyed the mild temps. I am feeling pretty good after yesterday’s thrashing on the Soul Ride course. I’m excited to go out and hurt myself on ride day. I followed Hottie’s race, at each 15k split online. She’s …. [Continue reading] It is two weeks to the Soul Ride, so this weekend was my last long ride before the event. Really, it’s just an excuse to ride long. Not that I need one, anyway. After last week’s hike n’ climb fest, I wanted to just get some miles in, hopefully without walking and anaerobic climbing. I …. [Continue reading] 
Yesterday I completed a longstanding goal of mine: Round the Mountain trail on Mt. Graham. The journey began at Columbine. I coasted down a dirt road, cold at 7am and 9000 feet. A sign read “Warning, High Bear Activity Area.” The road was gated and I continued past it on “double track that rides like …. [Continue reading] The rides continue. Grosa, Suburban, Chivo, Long rivertrail spin, Today: Starr. 5 days of solid riding, is it too good to be true? There is still plenty of resistence. On Suburban I hit something huge that sprayed Slime everywhere, but the tire held until I got home. On the rivertrail it went flat. Then it …. [Continue reading] |
