I’m ditchin’, man.
Well, no; no, it won’t.
But I’m in the wash* anyway.
*We call washes “arroyos” down here, and sometimes we don’t come out, either.

Looks like you’re packed for a cross country tour! Bike testing is a hard slog, but someone has to do it.
Justice Stevens is right. Kavanaugh showed his true colors during that judicial committee hearing. No way he should be confirmed. But, I knew he would be for our congress sold out long ago.

You’re looking at a 34-pound bike wearing 35 pounds of gear, plus Your Humble Narrator. With the tires down around 10-15 psi the Jones still floats over the sand like a chromoly dirigible. Not a fat bike, just pleasingly plump.
Shoot, I should’ve used that line in the review.
“Sold out” is the polite way of saying “bent over,” no? The GOP has driven its box van through the front doors of the Republic and is grabbing everything worth stealing before the cops show up.

I hope the cops (in the form of voters) show up in about a month to slap some cuffs (every way you can imagine that) on these crooks. Otherwise we’re in deep, deep doodoo with Fat Nixon and his henchmen uncontrolled.

The NYT ran a piece earlier in the week that was not encouraging. It focused heavily on West Virginia, true, but still. Remember your Luke Skywalker: “I got a bad feeling about this.”

Well, you know what my wife says….

Especially, if it rains in the wrong place! Be care careful.

We cyclocrossers are renowned for our ability to run uphill in vile weather, Charley. There are trails on either side of this arroyo, and I’d be up there in a jif’, watching the bike sail off to Mexico.
I bet the water can really run down this sumbitch too. I’ll snap a pic of the steep slope it drains. It’s one of those hikes that turns into about a half a crawl at mid-ascent.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to not spend a week incommunicado.

Just wait until Il Douche nationalizes the Fake News and Sarah Huckleberry is named editor of Trump Pravda. You’ll wish you could stay incommunicado but they have ways of ensuring you pay rapt attention.

I spy the new Jones bike, looks good all packed up. And Riv’s new Gus Boots mt bike is coming along as well.
Watch out in those arroyos when hurricane Sergio come in to town next week.
Till then, happy trails, happy riding!
