mudworm ~ We both took Friday off. Almost went to Tahoe (I have a killer two-day itinerary), but decided to be lazy. Glad to be a guide on his Skeggs Everything Hall of Fame Induction ride. I can do this ride without a map now, although I'm a little SE'ed out, at least for now. …more…
mudworm ~ rode 27.3mi and climbed 6,532ft on Skeggs Everything. Incomplete track due to accidental second sampling.

mudworm ~ Oh darn, I must have played with the "smart recording" vs "every second", and left it at "every second" at one point. …more…
Despite having issue with the name -- Tallboy -- that's the Santa Cruz 29er, Erik pulled the trigger. Finally!!! His search lasted for more than a year. I'm not talking about half hearted search. He was reading about 29er's almost every night! ...more...

Perimeter ride clockwise: Sierra Morena, Whole Steam Donkey, Blue Blossom or Spring Board, Lawrence, V Mill, S+N Leaves, ECdM) (est. ...more...
Following conversation took place this Sunday morning.
E: Okay, I'm going in to work now. What are you going to do?

Last Saturday was the get-together with Sean and Stephen and their families. Sean and Jennifer hosted the gathering at their place in Santa Cruz. Our host took Stephen, Erik, and me on a ride from his house to UCSC and Wilder. …more…
– Ahh… what a beautiful morning! Earlier at Windy Hill OSP, I was able to get a view of most of the Bay Area to the East including San Fransisco. I couldn't help but imagine the hustle and bustle among those tall buildings in the SF Financial District on a typical Friday morning like this; …more…
