Today is bittersweet because it’s probably my last weekday ride for a while as I start a new job Monday. And will need to be in the office for orientation Etc. Luckily the job is officially hybrid with 2 days home so once I get into a routine hopefully I can find times to ride. Been off this week in between jobs but with my 15 year old home sick it’s been “get a ride in whenever I can “ type of week. I see some zwift and more rowing machine in my near future to make sure I don’t lose too much fitness since this season has been pretty good so far.

Today I literally had no plan and came up with a loop off the top of my head. I wanted to get 50+ miles in but I wasn’t even sure my planned route would get me that. Met up with a WFH friend about 30 miles in and we just freelanced some roads for a while. The weather was humid AF but the sun stayed in and it helped to feel cooler on the Downhills.

Then my phone rang and the kid had a bad bloody nose and a fever so I had to zip home and cut the ride shorter than planned.

Got 50 anyway and he’s doing better thankfully. At least I was near a place you could ride a MTB 🤪

Day 29 part 2: The Darling Hill Gems

We picked up Simon from NICA camp and he said he was up for more riding. We went back to the AirBnb and he promptly fell asleep for an hour and likely would have slept for 12 if we hadn't woken him up. I was personally just fine to lay around and rest, as this morning's ride was a little tiring and super humid. Mid afternoon we woke him up and dragged him up to the bike shop at the top of Darling Hill.

We did a bunch of the favorites but not a total highlights tour. We hadn't hit Martha's Pines yet this trip so we ended with that. While it is new and still finding its identity, it is shaping up as yet another one of my favorite trails. It was a solid end to the day.

Then we met Utah & Bob for ice cream and dinner in town.

On Tuesday I got my commemorative 31/31 tattoo stenciled, and surprisingly, most of the coloration happened today.

Because of my repressive wasp upbringing, I'm very uncomfortable posting a pic, but I figure it's not really showing any more than when I wear a thong to the beach. So here's my tattoo; it feels a lot worse than it looks.
