Deluge last night quashed plans to ride this morning. Instead I shall putter around the house, making another brush pile and sanding some drywall.
Woke up at 5:30am but felt okay, clock in the kitchen said 6:30.
Hmmm, seems Daylight Savings is over, damn.
As of today I haven't ridden a bike for three weeks, that's bad.

Riding a trail bike down dh trails isn't authentic dh
What if he has goggles and a fanny pack?
Up since 5am studying. Need to finish the dryer repairs letter today, then some bike riding with Hannah. Haley must be destroyed after yesterday, because she went to sleep an hour early last night and still isn't up, 30min after usual.
Data analysis tonight, but I have a feeling there isn't much where Haley can make those laps faster than she already is. System can take all of her laps together to make the "fast" lap of the day and see where she could do things better. If you have a newer GoPro, it can also stitch together the video when sync'd to the system, so you can see your "fast lap".

You didn't bring your skis? To the ski hill?
Well, I felt like doing a quick run of the data while waiting for Hannah at swim. And data is awesome.
Yesterday's best theoretical lap: 48.976
Yesterday's best actual lap: 49.606
Only 2 of 17 sections in that lap were best times. Most were top-3 for the day. And her best rolling lap (any point-to-point continuous), which was a 49.516, were segments 7-17 of that lap and 1-6 of the following. So that lap was really cranking given the majority of her fastest rolling lap was that lap.
I really think she's damn near topped out that track with her gearing, because her avg lap all day is tight. There's still clearly space for improvement (per the data), but I have a feeling getting the gearing right will make a huge difference.

Back in my day we didn’t have no fancy science computer to tell us how to go faster. We just rowed gears and didn’t lift.

Back in your day there was also a Super Monster...
A well regarded Canadian research team, after five years of analyzing speed variables and data, including wind speed, nutrition, altitude, and other factors, came to one overwhelming conclusion regarding increasing speeds. They published this simple edict, and it spread nationally, then to Australia, and finally around the world.
The consensus, after this research?
“GIV’ER, EH?”
It would be ok if you had both, cause you're DHing not interwebing.
My neighbor wanted to check out Coffee Pot rapids fishing hole a couple miles downstream from where we usually ski.
It devolved into a 5-hour, 5 moose , 5" of powder sufferfest, and we called it 9/10 of the way there due to exhaustion.
Apparently that which does not kill you can still make you tired as fuck...
Brought the skinny tire bike down in hopes of riding Yellowstone sometime over the next 19 days before it opens to cars.
Given it's still nuking out here I suspect that opening date may be a tad optimistic...

And Karpiel Armageddon's. That weren't heat treated. Don't forget those.
I think I picked out a TT drivetrain. Now to just hem and haw for a few minutes so it gets sold and I can find something else to worry about....
No Loveland season pass, lessons all up at Valley instead of Basin, no powder, and Baby Aya's lesson only running 9:30-12:30 so limited time. Plus the MIL is up so my wife feels like she is obligated to hang with her and we have a nice cozy table in the sun + WiFi. Going to try to write up the abstract for the meeting in Japan I want to go to in this time. Or just waste time on the interwebs maybe
did you double clutch or did you granny shift or what
Had a great day yesterday. I finished 8th overall in my 6.55 mile race, then I went and saw the awesomeness that was John Wick 4. Unfortunately the bucket of movie popcorn I downed derailed my plans to pick up a burrito calorie bomb for dinner.
5 1/2 months since my last ride on my GG.
Despite having been serviced prior to today, forked screwed up and sucked down to 90mm travel on the DH and my gears screwed up for the climb back up. So not a success. Hikers on every section of bike only DH trail just rounded things off.

I only liked this comment, because you have dirt to ride.
But congrats on not ghost riding your bike off a cliff in frustration.
Apex? is it GTG?
Yes but no?
Mud/snow where you'd expect it. Enchanted looked like a luge track. I dropped down sluicebox to avoid that lowest shaded section of the gut.
I hope that you very politely called them shit-head wankers that were going to die in a fiery collision.
Not joking, three groups on the gut, two people went through the gate in front of me as I was dropping into Sluicebox - I pointed out the error of their ways, no idea if they retreated. Then there were others hiking up Enchanted which meant they'd come from somewhere else they shouldn't have been. No one intelligent would be riding Enchanted as it looked like a luge track, but still...
Freak hail storm has applied a fresh layer of water on everything in sight. So much for pedal time.
