The position on the road bike is very different than the mountain bike, so you are on different "sit bones". Just keep riding, and you'll get your *** in shape!

Y'all can GTFO and GFY.

Leftovers.

On Saturday we had a bike swap near my house. Took my wife's and my old mountain bikes to the swap (they were pretty worn out), and they sold! We were shocked. More importantly, I found a mountain bike for myself. Breezer Repack Expert with a dropper post the former owner put on. 27.5" wheels. I...

^Nor have I. We are supposed to get some snow starting this afternoon through tomorrow night. Last weekend I got some compost, mixed it into our garden, and hand-turned over the soil. I have my FIL tiller, but after replacing the carb on the tiller, gas is coming out of it, due to the float in...

Fruit smoothie with protein powder, spinach, and oatmeal in it. And coffee. Always the coffee.

We've been using a commercial compost system that is offered around us this winter, and the compost giveback is this weekend. I'll be picking up a load of it on Saturday, then tilling our garden so the wife and kids can plant it in the next few weekends.

Oatmeal with fresh blueberries and honey, two cups of coffee with sugar-free creamer, a donut on the way into the office (no will power, damnit), and black coffee in the office.

Rueben on marble rye, cole slaw, and a pickle.

Tua is at Bama, you're thinking of Jalen Hurts, who transferred to Oklahoma. In addition to Tua, Hurts, and Fromm, Ehlinger from Texas might declare, as well as Justin Herbert from Oregon. Lots of QB prospects.

^Too true on the gadgets. I broke down and got a Garmin bike computer (not the ultra fancy ones), and got the cadence and speed sensors for it, as well as the heart rate monitor. I find that I like to know where I'm comfortable riding (HR and cadence), as well as how hard I'm working (HR).

@Road Guy I rode the Colorado National Monument this weekend, in the same direction that you will. The loop starts out rolling, then when you get to the west entrance of the Monument, the climbing starts. 1,100 feet of climbing in the first 4 miles to the visitor's center. Take it easy, and ride...

I think it is a good pick, especially the way it shook out. We don't have to have the first round QB stigma attached to him, and he is PISSED that he fell, which should make him work that extra bit harder. Also, if he doesn't pan out, we didn't "waste" a first round pick.

Heading out in a bit to do some camping and biking in Fruita, CO.

HBD, @roadwreck!

Ya, I limit myself to about once a month. And I only get a single burger, not the doubles they offer. I was down in Denver last month for stormwater training, and went to Five Guys. HFS, that was good.

There is one in Glenwood, about a 5 minute walk from my office.

Culvers. With the cheese curd substitution.

FRIDAY

Well, I've been limping my mountain bike along for many years now. Last year, my chain snapped while climbing up Mary's Loop in Fruits. A couple of good guys on the trail gave me a quick link to fix my chain. Then, on a different climb, it snapped again. That was a long walk back to the trail...
