Shitty fuckin day !!! shoulda stayed in bed .....
even here i have to go out of my way sort of to get in a big day of climbing...i could just run laps at the closest trails but that gets boring...
yeah,i like it here,i get envious of those people who get to ride in the woods with like shade and traction and whatnot,but at least we can ride year round,and the chile is good and its still cheap to live here...
yup,screwed up today oversleeping...just got back from wallyworld,took waaaaay too long and spent way too much money...now its hot and windy out so im not feeling too compelled to go ride...
pics from yesterdays ride...

didnt eat enough yesterday,or rehydrate so feeling a bit hollow today...gonna take a day to fuel back up and get some stuff cooked up like a pot of pinto beans and some chicken breast so i have food ready to go...i stupidly waited until like 5 before i ate yesterday,and im pretty sure i didnt even get enough calories to replace what i burned riding much less a regular days food...and the fatbike takes a shitload of energy to move over a long ride...3 hours on 2 hippy fig bars is not keeping up with my output very well,its one lesson i have utterly failed at learning so far is actually keeping some calories coming in...not an issue for a quick lap around the trails generally,but those long rides it gets to be crucial...thats one thing that really sucks about summer riding here...no frickin shade,makes it hard to stop and eat,and since my sinuses are always running i cant eat while im riding,nose is too stuffed up to breath so i have to stop in order to eat...and those sports gels and such...bleh...i want real food,i aint racing,not in any hurry to get anywhere...Ride.
you know oddly enough i have been wondering whats going on at that spot...theres a steep little hill climb and its always moist in there,its like a tiny forest...100x100 feet at most but theres a crazy mix of plants,native and yard escapees...so i dunno whats going on there,its right near the university golf course,but why would they be watering a random patch of roadside? but yeah,actual shade! too bad thats where the riding starts!That green spot must be Unc's secret spot
