WaNG dang doodle...

New shoes? Nope, but they look like it. After Saturday's sweat box ride in MO, these guys turned on me. If I said they smelled like a cat pissed in them that would be close. Thanks to a suggestion from MG, washed them in a pillow case & voila! Almost 2 year old white shoes, practically good as new & smelling fresh:)
Heading over to D St. it was raining good luck...
Mystery rider...
What a night, beautiful up North...
Little Salt looking East, the infamous silo just over the hill a bit...
You know...for barely riding for 6 weeks I'm starting to feel pretty good. Maybe it's just the old Atmos I brought out of retirement...
Good luck to all those heading to Laramie for the Enduro this weekend...

former mule capitol...

Lathrop, home of the mules. 86 miles in 88 degree temps with the dew point in the upper 80's/low 90's. This formula fried my soul. At the 31 mile checkpoint I was raining sweat. At the 52 mile convenience store pit stop I had a pretty good headache, my stomach was complaining, & my ears were ringing. I usually don't suffer this much in the heat & humidity but for some reason it was my day. Seriously considered rolling the highway back to the start/finish but forced down a ton of fluids & rebounded enough to get my ass back on course.

Thanks Joe Fox & family for a great event, great vibe, a great course. I remember thinking why isn't this course a hundee? During the event I was repeatedly grateful it wasn't, it's plenty difficult. Often you can thank the county road crews for their generous application of white rock.
31 mile refuel...
