I went for a 5k run (I have not been that training much it keeps getting cut short by responsibilities or the injury}. my injured leg ballooned and I think i pulled something in my calf!
Damn
Don't worry though I always do these push things on tons of injuries. I'm told it my MO

even my SA skate I had a broken sternum for a lot of it.

HUGE road rash at KOTF, muscular atrophy and a step deformation in my thigh at Rogue, even my SA skate I had a broken sternum for a lot of it.

It's like one time Sheldon and I were joking that compared to me he's got the supple "young veal" muscles working in his favor Very Happy

Just go mellow this coming week and your recovery will be fast, I'm sure!

Just stuck this together to prepare any Burke trail noobs to the frequent "cattle guards"

Link

1. look behind you for any speedy bicyclists about to pass on your left
2. assuming it's clear, approach the guard from the far left or far right
3. pump the board just a little before hitting it
4. zip across diagonally

Ok this is the part where I start eating sunflower seeds, to keep from chewing my fingernails off. Very Happy

Maybe it will be a Monday morning ride for me after all?? Hmmm... If it comes to that, I will definitely overlap you guys by several hours at Greenlake. I'm still holding out hope that the showers on Sunday will be "light"!!

Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 65.
Sunday Night: A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 50.
Monday: Partly sunny, with a high near 71.
Monday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 51.

I cant take the time off work to ride monday/tuesday. If sunday is going to be really rainy ill probably go a day early and ride sat/sun and skip the solstace parade.

I know that Saturday is out for Sheldon (work) and he was going to maybe start around noon on Sunday originally, I'm checking with him on whether he can start Monday. Of course the Sat weather is looking brilliant!!

It's no easy change for me to move to Monday (also because of work) but I might even do some flex-work on Saturday night / Sunday too in order to "earn" a Monday/Tuesday slot...so for now, I'm still holding hope for the original Sunday plan, and keeping an extra-early Monday morning start (like 5 or 6 a.m.) at Greenlake as a distinct possibility.

Keeping a sharp eye on the weather and will decide on my own plan by Saturday evening, like 6 p.m., and yakking offline with people that are seriously going for the full 24 hours to figure out how much we can synch up. I would really like as many of us as possible to hit this on the same day. F--king rain!!!

Dave I will come out and support you as much as I can, if you do start Saturday!

Nope, the Monday-Tuesday plan is out for me. My wife had some plans for me Monday night, good ones I hope!

So the original Sunday ride sticks -- ironically, this is the first rain we've had since May 20th!!! Evil or Very Mad

I know this date because it's when my BIKE got it's last ride into work and has been sitting there ever since.

Watching the weather and hoping for a miracle. If its a light rain, I'm still game. If it's downpours and soaked, I will still support any 24-hour riders. Barefoot Ted said he'd be out there as well, and Subsonic Scotty is still planning to come up for the weekend.

From what i can tell sunday almost looks drier than saturday at this point. If its not pumpable conditions i wont be going 24hours but if its wet saturday and sunday i will show up at gasworks at 8am sunday and start out, even if its just for the trip back to my house. Lets hope those meteorologists dont know what theyre talking about.
