hmmm, it looks like rain?

Sorry guys - its been a busy week! As for the forcast, rain appears to be in our future for the next couple of days. If the weatherman is correct, Friday is supposed to be a washout.

What that means to me is that the dirt will most likely be too wet to ride. Tranq might be good on Sunday if Saturday is clear and windy. I'm thinking that it might be a good time to break out the skinnies and log a few road miles.

I'll probably do my usual 20 mile loop: zorinsky to West Papio to Maple St and back. Anyone want to join in?

weekend ride planning - UPDATED

Ok, so its a little early, but I want to get onto some dirt this weekend and would love to do so with my buddies!

I'll just have to schedule it so that the family is prepared. I could do an early a.m. ride with CrewcabRob, and then do an afternoon Sat/Sunday ride with Dmars and GREG respectivly.

What do you all have in your heads? What were you thinking Rob?

Laps: 2 or 3

Sunday

I managed a ride straight WEST on F street yesterday. It was a muggy hot ride that took me out to 222 st. It was only about 4 miles out, but I was not feeling to love. Plus it looked like it could rain!

I turned back and headed EAST. Man, F street is HILLY. Ended up with 8+ miles, 35+ mins and a wicked case of swampass.

Tuesday lunch ride? It's supposed to Tstorm tonight so that may be scrubbed. I'm going to try and ride with Greg on Wed/Thurs night. I need to get some dirt time in!

weekend

Even though we had a busy weekend - I was still able to log a few 'skinny' miles yesterday afternoon. About 10 to be exact. The entire trail around Zorinsky is completely passable. There is still some water on the trail under the bridge, but it only takes up 1/3 of the sidewalk.



While cruising across the dam, I saw this guy buzzing around. All he had was a parachute and a big ass propeller strapped to his back. I honestly think that I'd do this. If you motor stops, just float to the ground.

He was doing it over the lake. My guess, motor stops, he sinks as he'd be unable to get that propeller backpack off.

I'm home with a sick kid today. Going to conserve fuel and walk to the grocery store with him if he's feeling ok.

Lunch rides this week are going to be WET! Swampass either way you look at. Tstorms on Tues; 95 and humid on Thursday.
