alternative idea

The time in Maine was good, didn't fix much in me, it was sort of a restart when what was really needed was full a power down. It will buy ya some more time but it doesn't really clear all the random shit causing issues. But it really did feel like I was gone for a week even though it was two nights. And that's one of the best signs.

The post title really is referring to this though:
As I was riding in this morning, thinking about last night's ride... as much as I want to do the RRRR ride hundo, I think maybe doing something more normal hundo like. Picking somewhere to go where I can roll on the roads at more than 10 mph. I mean it is very attractive to start the ride by my house and then pass back by the house after 30-40 miles and have all the handy water stops identified along the way, but the reality is that including all that single track will slow the avg pace way down. Gonna take a long time, esp riding alone, even I hammer every non-single track section. Too much pressure, not enough fun. ...rolling solo... which is either a really good thing to do on that day or the absolutely worst thing to do. The destination I have in mind kind of feels sort of like it will make it good. Got a phone call to make first.

it is a route I think i can manage pretty easily w/o someone with a Garmin and routes plugged in guiding us along.

you know, old fashioned and stuff...

Made some time today, multi-tasked like a manager and got two more of the Colorado collection imaged on the SEM. Only 5 more to image and then put them all together and see what is there, what holes to fill and then decide how to do the book. You can take a look at the ones posted today over on FB at least until I get time to work on the web page.

till later,
