Viva? No Vegas

I had been planning a short excursion to Las Vegas in a couple o’ weeks. This was predicated on the singletrack project being done. One (1) rainstorm later and hopes of an escape are dashed. I can’t afford to take that time away from the project.

I was not looking forward to Las Vegas proper as much as the annual bike gig taking place there. Dreams of hiking Red Rock Canyon are now distant memories.

But, I’d rather light a candle than curse my darkness. There are other activities afoot. Example – Schnoctobeerfest. It is Thee Annual Rite of Passage from summer into fall via wool jerseys, good beer, a bike ride, and good friends.

My work on the South Dakota portion of the U.S. Bike Routes has been sitting mostly dormant this summer. First (1st) things first (1st) and getting the singletrack done is almost that. Then I’ll dive head-first into finishing that task. Once it is complete, all my obligations are as well.

On a personal note, the insomnia is getting somewhat better. Who’da thunk? A major contributor to the insomnia is, well, Dead To Me. If you’re satisfied and content without, what’s the point?

Projects and obligations are winding down, the insomnia is getting better, and the change in seasons brings new ideas. Now, what is going to be the Monday After Ride for the day after the Dakota 5-O?

Ride On.
