Another beautiful fall day squandered. Guess I should get used to that. I was going to use the elliptical after class, but walking from class to the gym, my toe was hurting more than usual, so I decided to skip even that.

Rats. Work/school killed a very fine fall day today.

Mix of powerline, singletrack, and gravel.

Event: OT100RUN
 

Event: SLOC - West Tyson
 

CC Lake trails plus over and back on the powerline.

In to work.

Crossed at Page and started heading SW on the Katy. By the time I got to Greens Bottom, the gnats were out of control! Decided to bounce over the ridge and see if they liked the Mississippi less than the Missouri. Only problem with that plan was that St. Peters is at the top of the ridge which is one of my least favorite places to ride. The motorists aren't hostile like in Jeffco; there's just nothing about the activity that I derive pleasure from. Anyway, that was only about 20 minutes and once in the other valley it was a delightful gnat-free ride to St. Charles, where I again caught the Katy and left her a mule to ride. (Aside from Clark, are any of my readers old enough to get the reference?)

C • I had to look it up, but it... 2

Work/school induced rest day. Nice that these are lining up with days the weather sucks.

In to work.

Work to Balaban's for the pickup via a loop around the valley.

Balaban's to home.
