A bit of habit building in making another one of these posts. Really mostly about forcing myself to track the WT.
Yesterday was a planned solo'ish workday to do some Canadian Beaver stuff down at Wakefield. I was planning to get out one big tree and a small on the creek trail then work on pushing back encroaching stuff in phase 4. Well it ended up being a LOT of cutting on the creek trail I think I must have made 30+ cuts in an hour and a half or so. I was and am still BEAT. It's a whole body workout.
Didn't end up with as much of a ride as I wanted i should have done a short extra loop on CCT with trailer. But I will say 2 hours plus 6 miles of hauling a trailer that is 40lbs+ is a decent workout.
Earlier in the week I had a crazy low weight in, and sorta knew it was semi-synthetic, I was probably a bit dehydrated. Wednesday I hit 206.3 which was...low. I re-weighted in today at 207.3 not bad post 2 beers and a decent serving of General Tso's w/rice.
Today should be a run I think at lunch time...sigh. Running sucks but it is quick and easy.
And my favorite MTB helmet broke when I was back loading up at the car. The side piece that connects to the back adjusty thing just snapped! FUUUU. I think I'd had the helmet 2+ year maybe a bit over 2.5. The helmet was made in Feb 2017 though so it was over 3 years old. ARGH.
I need 2 new helmets now. And with the 'Rona not really the time to be trying on helmets.
I like the integrated mounts with the Bonty Rally MIPS. My old helmet was a Bonty Lithos MIPS. The wave cell....is interesting. But is it Snake Oil? The Rally MIPS would be 390G near 100G lighter than my Lithos. If I went to the Blaze it would be 440G but still near 50G lighter. We shall see.
Next weeks plan? Bike maintenance. Need to do the rear tire on the Snuggler. I need to A) Fix it Directionally and B) Re-Toobless it. It's been a year I think. UGH. Or replace the tire really. Tire is 2.5 years old and I found signs of weepage this week. Will recheck on Monday. Tread seems okay so maybe it just needs a solid re-application of Stans. Meh. Both bikes need some love. And sometime soon I need to deal with the Ye Old Road Bike. It's been busted for...near a year? And then I need to figure out if I'm going to build up the Sir9 or just buy a new HT and then dispose of both the Trek and the Sir9. Also need to deal with the cruiser out back.
