Friday Oct 18th - 1.5 points.

took a few days off because I got on the lazy train and the dog hates the rain more than I do.

No time for bike today so just walked the dog but somewhere between Fitbit Land and Strava Land i lost time again so Strava only shows 29.05 minutes. I guess that might have been the amount of time I had to stop and scoop the doggie deposit so maybe the judges will be lenient today.

Or if needed I can record the time later it takes me to walk from the parking lot to the stands for tonights home game at the HS. :p

I’m not judging the contest, but isn’t Spaceballs worth at least another 2.5 points.

Agreed. And willingly going into Plainfield?

What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz? Chicken?

I was going to skip thursday, and go right to drinking with the JORBA elite. It is good to know the money guy.
There was a bit of an opening, so i took it, and put 30 minutes into zwift. Worked relatively hard
with a fella from Brazil. 1 point.

Yesterday was fun friday at jungle habitat - it would be more fun with a few more people.
Don't let all the little PRs and long moving times fool you. The ride changes as appropriate
to please the crowd. If it is just @shrpshtr325 and me, i'm going to get handed a bag of hurt.
that's ok - i'm actually training! Look for one coming to MCP soon! going to get the hardtail out
with narrow bars for the maze!

Was very happy to be back on the fatbike, even though the rear brake is dragging. Cleaned up the piston,
cracked open the bleeder on the lever, but it still hasn't retracted. oh well, guess i'll just wear the pads down
a bit more. :confused: - it seamed like every time we started a climb, i'd end up pulling a stick out of the spokes.
no damage tho. Got some TM in too.

While i've been on most of those trails a couple times, i still have no idea how to actually get to any 1 trail.
Bill did a nice job covering most of the park. Love all the rock plate features.

Did ya ride the tanks?

Yeah pop up on them and roll or jump off.
I found the video of you hopping onto then jumping off the tanks at Jungle on OOS post 25,206. Don’t know how to copy it into this link. Nicely done with a cross country racer style 29er not designed for features. I wonder if @Patrick has the power to post the video here. More, More Powa!
