Slackin'

The last month kicked my ass! Worked almost the whole month without a day off between doing fire mitigation in Evergreen and rocking the clinic here at home creates one tired little man. Yesterday was my first day off in almost 30 days and I had plans to head to Salida for Don's ride. Been trying to get down there for this ride for the last few years, but alas I did not make it, again! After getting out for a spin at dusk on sat., I realized that my legs were not up to a fast 100 miles. So I opted to stay in town, go for a hike and relax for most of the day. Hiked up to 13,000'+ and enjoyed the views. No trails, just walking through the forest 'til topping out well above treeline. Sitting there enjoying the morning sun when along the ridge comes a runner. Again, no trails and no easy way to get where I was and a dude is just running along. I love this aspect of Leadville. People are always out and about, no matter where you are. So sweet.

Spikefest! is coming along this weekend. Had planned on doing the 110 miler, but that's not gonna happen. May do the 85 miler or may not. I may not even ride, just camp for friday night then head back home to dig some trail. I love riding bikes, it's just that my body is beat down and I'm not real motivated to pedal when I could spend my free time sleeping.

All will work itself out, riding wise. Still riding strong, just ready to be riding the new steed. Hopefully one day that will happen and preferably sooner rather than later. peace
