Moonset

I happened to catch this one when looking out the back window to see what it looked like outside before taking the dog for his walk. The view with the naked eye was a little more impressive as the moon turned a deeper shade of orange as it set behind the mountains. Oh yeah, the Denver International Auto Show is coming.



Yesterday was the first longer ride on the new time trial bike. I rode with Pinkerton the Elder, Pinkerton the Younger, and Kendall out to Lookout, up, down and home. You can check out the full route here (see Dad, I told you it would be "useful and enriching")

Pushing the 55x19 uphill in TT position is just about as hard as it sounds and the legs feel a little trashed this morning. Good thing today is active recovery at the park day. Too bad it is supposed to be a Colorado spring day which means warm, but windy. I'll do some wind tunnel "testing" . . . yeah, I'll be that tool at the park on the full time trial setup including the disc and tri-spoke. I need to make sure my glue job is acceptable prior to the start of the Cherry Creek Time Trial Series.
