Note

Didn't even make the cut. I'm slipping.

ahr:130 max:148 slept:7.0 shoes: Long Haul Trucker

My favorite kind of Hines ride: closed for flooding, but not flooded!

I tried a "get up earlier" plan. I got up earlier, but it didn't stick, so I unproductively wasted time at the house before departing. I need to fix that!

Glad I didn't ride in earlier this week. An alley a few hundred meters from work had a body found.

The first light I hit leaving work goes by the scene

Coworker walked out as I was suiting up for the ride, and I forgot to use HRM.

Otherwise nice, pleasantly overcast in places.

Barely over an hour if you take out the train!

I thought I would ride out to the end of the road, only it turns out it was private for the last bit. Nooooo.... I would later learn it started being private earlier, but I missed the sign bombing down the gravel road, probably when I was realizing my intended route back was private and gated (just to the left of this picture).



Nice morning for it!
10 AM

Adventure Race 1 [0] 0.0 mi +10m null / mi

2/3 out of three. We tried to take a shipwreck tour in Alpena, but the 3' rollers had the captain swinging back. Full refund no questions asked, which was nice.

The Algonquin Pathway - a cross country ski loop just west of Sault Ste. Marie.

Nice trail - two track width without the ruts, and flat.

Trying to quickly cram some hay in this barn.

If I was just 3:00/mile faster, I would have done all of it, but I didn't want to miss the tour boat.
4 PM

Walking 34:56 [1] 1.4 mi (24:54 / mi)

Check out the ticket stand for tomorrow's boat ride.

ahr:121 max:147 shoes: Unicycle24

First Michigan ride on the 24" unicycle dear brother sent back with me. Two steps offs in the parking lot, then I started on the path and made my longest ever non step off ride, over a mile, doing the backwards looped dear wife and I walked earlier.

2020 Mountain Bike O champs site found: Vasa!

I biked from the hotel over to the xc / running start (having missed the turn for the single track trailhead). I had a lot of fun winging down the little single tracks.

No wonder we can't practice for Canadian Hydrocut - ours is all sand!



I wish I had more time to explore more of this part. Then I finally found a marker and worked down to the proper single track, which was also awesome - super fast.

Then back to the hotel, this time I was aware of the MUP so I used that instead of the open road.





11 AM

Biking 1 [0] 0.0 mi +40m

Daughter and I rented a jet boat, which was fun. They handle weirdly compared to a car.
C • Wasn't it fun though? 2

ahr:138 max:157 shoes: Brooks Ghost Swagger

Thought about an out and back until I ran out of sidewalk, so I turned it into a sort of lap around/through Northwestern Michigan University.

Biking 1:01:53 intensity: (44 @0) + (1:00:25 @1) + (44 @2) 15.76 mi (15.3 mph) +11m

Time is not bad considering I felt oomph-less.

I left a little sluggishly - I need to just shut it down after I do something later; instead, mindless browsing. :|

~~

Thanks to silky's note about their valve stem nuts, I learned that Problem Solvers offers a chain tug / derailleur hanger. I know I am supposed to love single speeding....but I'm kind of meh on it, at least with this bike and these legs, so I may use my old 9 sp xram parts and one of those to gear up the orange bike, which would make it a viable commuter - able to get a tired me up the final hills to Plymouth in the evenings, but not spin out at 13 mph on the ride in, and I don't care if it gets salty. Should be inexpensive - a fresh d cable, new 9 sp cassette, new chain, that fancy chain tug.
6 PM

Biking 1:13:56 intensity: (2:10 @0) + (1:10:30 @1) + (1:16 @2) 15.7 mi (12.7 mph) +72m
ahr:118 max:144 shoes: Long Haul Trucker

Back home. So hungry! I tried to stop at the Segway rental place for a candy bar, but they were closed.

Time wasn't terrible, considering tiredness.

I saw two separate cx practice sessions. One guy had flags up and some little barriers to hop. Another group was ripping around on the grass lapping some copses.
