finally got out to ride today after a 6 week lay off due to snow and cold. 22 worthless to CI miles.. legs felt fine and with the wind and heavier winter bike the average wasn't bad. lungs definitely took a hit from the lay off though.
Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow so a friend and I can get out and do a 25mi route that has a fairly steep .5mi hill near the end that he will probably yell about.

It was warm enough to ride today, but the 20mph winds dissuaded me.

It's a pain, but the trouble is that when the loyerette drives it she doesn't put air in it and drives around a giant steel beast with a bad tire. Which makes her not want to drive it, which means I might not get the small car for climbing trips. have you tried the green goup? the tire repair guys hate it, but fuck em The moderators here can't even govern a chat forum, I wouldn't put any faith in them to fix a tire.

It's a little to the right of the two 5.11z

Ewe've been to teh wall rite?
There is awl ready a bolted line to teh left of Rainbow Drive. It's called Straight Ahead. Kinda dumb, it's a Sam route.
Teh rope wus on teh Preditor, the gnu Big Tony line is to teh right of teh too easy 11's, before ewe get to teh whaterever it's rated 5.8 Arete route, that's called Easy Prey.
Though, speaking of squeeze jorbs... There is a possible difficult gnu route to teh lt of teh Preditor and too teh rite of teh Sex Magik. It Wood start on teh Preditor, and when ewe dive out right to teh undercling, go left instead and up a shallow corner to sum killer looking dikes thru teh summit block/ roof.
