Was hoping to read that you went in looking like you just filmed a Weathertech floormats commercial? Pics if you do.

Day 23: got a late start, but squeezed in a morning ride with @NCHLS.mrz … fairly standard loop as of late, but explored a new line that’s nearing completion in our locals, which was lots of fun.

Got out with Kate this morning on the canal again. I have to get her a gravel bike.

Ouch. The recovery operation probably did more damage than the actual sinkage! From the look of it it must have gained some momentum coming down the driveway, enough to cross the road and crash the beam that is. Luckily it didn't crash on passing traffic!
MULLIGAN CLARIFICATION - PART 3
Just another post to remind everyone how this works.
- You can only use this "get out of riding" card ONE time
- This really only pertains to the 31/31 club, the 20+ needs to ride 20 times
- You cannot self-TM unless you are a JORBA rep
- This means that you need to find an actual TM, or work with a JORBA rep, to get your TM in
- This equates to the following: In order to qualify for the 31/31 you need to ride every single day of the month, or 30 days of the month in addition to doing one TM session
- You cannot ride 29 times and do 2 TM sessions
- You cannot ride 28 times and do 3 TM sessions
- You cannot ride 27 times and do 4 TM sessions
- Repeat this until the numbers are 0 & 31

To add insult to injury, they'll probably have to pay for new wooden guard rails - at today's wood prices, might cost more than the car.
July 23....
I may have been over served last night. Plus the rear tire was deflated and the bead popped off, so I needed to get the compressor. Late start means late to WFH...
I’m gonna be cutting it close for the 20 day with a trip to Vegas next week…

If it wasn’t the summer I would highly recommend Bootleg Canyon while you are out there (if you haven’t ridden it already). Temps obviously can be oppressive, but I hear early mornings are possible with the heat.
There will be no bikes ridden. @ANWjrWill has Championships for UNAA. Nothing like 5 days in Vegas with your 13yr old child.
To flex my TM activities, I remove a tree right before NICA practice last night to meet the benchmark of a tree moved from my three local parks this week. My son helps me and I let him use the power assisted hand saw. When we started riding with the team, multiple coaches tell me there is a tree down the way I am going.

Coolest day of the week and the most comfortable and I decide not to ride the mtb. Meet the local group for a coffee shop ride, which stands for we ride moderately unless 2 people are feeling good. I try to not be disruptive but when people start upping the pace, obviously I am sitting in / helping. Two others start doing just that, but damnit, someone is talking to me and I dont get to join in. I do bridge up right as someone has a mechanical, so it was pointless. Good ride nonetheless.

Back and side window to get the chain around on the passenger side rear pillar. Drag car to bank. Attach additional chains and hooks to get onto the street.
22 - Belmont dirt church, legs felt OK but took almost an hour to warm up - https://www.strava.com/activities/5672022609
I stayed late for fire and fun, as always. We were surprised by an excellent fireworks show that lasted seemingly forever. The ride back to Penns Landing actually knocked off some time for today's challenge too, but I will only use it if I feel horrible later.

Once its totaled, its totaled regardless of the number of scratches.
I did tell the truck operator not to scratch the paint, he instead just ripped the front bumper off.
Didnt rupture the fuel tank or the oil pan - good thing since the NJWA guy showed up.

After yesterday's mountain bike ride with the kids, my back submitted a formal protest this morning to today's ride. My legs vetoed said protest so out we went for a road ride. Besides bouncing around on the mountain bike, the other thing that aggravates my back is sitting and grinding up hills on the road bike - standing is ok. So today while climbing a very small hill on Reaville, I got heckled by one of two roadies going in the opposite direction. One says, "nice job taking that "hill" - I am certain I could hear the sarcastic "hill" quotes in his voice! Pic by the crick

And some need to ride every day from here on out. Good efforts by all either way.

My legs are not happy with me this morning. 2 out of 3 full pulls up Parachute Hill on the SS. Glad we did the warm-up loop of Crossbow.
