Coyote Creek

I finally have a spare moment to update the blog. Just wanted to say thanks to Jens for the ride on the Coyote Creek. I was Floyd in stage 16 to his Oscar Periero of the day. On the last climb, I bonked about a half mile from the summit and with over 10 miles to the finish. Nice! Call it not enough food, cold weather, lack of training, whatever but at one moment we are cruising up the hill at 14 MPH and the next moment, the legs just won't go. I struggled up the rest of the way at about 6 MPH and then finished on the flat and downhill portion. We then rode back about seven more miles to catch the SAG up the hill. All in all it was about 73 miles of fun. So ends this year's season of riding. While in SJ at the Dunford's, Christine said I could get another bike. I was so happy. All in time. With all of the riding this year, I think I have put the time in. Next year's rides will be even better. JD, Cole, are ya with me? I think I might have found our 4th for the Furnace Creek. I'll let ya know.

I got back from Denver on Tuesday night. I got to see snow for the first time in years. It just led to a delay at the gate and then a delay getting deiced. I got to meet a bunch more fun and incredible Milgard folks at the Denver facility. It would be a great opportunity to work there with them. We will see how it all rolls out here in the next few days.

Finally, the Steelers finally got it together. Let's hope that they keep it together.
