Kind of. .
Way too busy to blog lately. Work sucks (ProStart), and the better half is clamping down on biking, so also not much to write about.
Thanksgiving was great. Turkey three ways, with the smoked whole turkey and the confit dark meat being the stars. We also made Ice Cream in a Bag, & now we're making Kombucha.
Maah Daah Hey Post Mortem
Perfect example of the problems I had biking in 2016.Wednesday before MDH: 3 hours sleep, 1 hour drive to billings, two flights to get to DC, Two days straight of 12 hours working. Friday morning before MDH: 4 hours sleep in a rat-infested room, two hour commute with the worst Uber driver ever, 2 flights to Billings. I had to walk with my luggage, a five mile hike, across the top of the rims, to the office. Then we piled in Wolf and headed for a five hour drive to Williston. We got there around six, and I still had to get all the food ready, the bike ready, take care of the family, get us dinner, get Yokie her instructions for the Sag Wagon drive, etc.
I didn't slow down that night until about midnight, and had to get up at 4am.
The race itself was actually great, considering the aforementioned troubles. It was nevertheless a DNF. Shredded a sidewall and had no tire replacement. You bring so many things to these races, and it's always the one thing you don't bring, especially when you're too busy beforehand.
