Oh hi!
I'm back in America. I guess I've been in America all along but sometimes it feels not like it, especially when you're in Nevada. Does Las Vegas still count as Nevada or has it detached itself yet? In any event, I'm back in America for another week. In exactly a week from now I'll be on my way to Tampa but there's a whole week of stuff between now and then. So much happens every week that next Sunday seems forever away. I'll also be in Newark this week, I think.
Any tips for Tampa?
I wrapped up the Sedona trip today. This is mostly just the flight back so I'm not going to say it's great. It's a link:
Waking up in Sedona and going to bed in New Jersey is not how you generally want to describe a day. Doing it the other way around is more-better. But eventually you have to go home. It’s what makes…

With the calf injury that means ski weekends are on hold for now. We were supposed to go to Okemo with

Alex brought some with her to Sedona and let me use it, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good I felt while there. Then I got back and it seemed to get worse but I didn't really think much of it. Eventually I bowed to the immense pressure and bought some and since I got back from Vegas, I think it actually makes a difference.
So now we're thinking that maybe, in 2 weeks, we
might be able to get a last ski weekend in.
That said, I'm really enjoying the stoke of the mountain bike right now. We rode Wawayanda on Saturday and Stephens with the NICA team today. Really good to get out there and I'm happy the weather worked out. Tis the season of garbage trail conditions so it was nice to be able to swing both of these. We have the ability to ride both days next weekend but I am not sure how the weather looks this week. Hoping for the best.
Until then, signing out from America after a great weekend of bikes ands good meals.
