Big time personal day today and no time for hardly anything. Certainly no time to write. On top of that I'm supposed to be doing a hike tomorrow and the weather pundits are saying different things. Weekend looks OK, tomorrow, who the *&^k knows.
I hope you all have a great weekend...

VALLEY CYCLING:
I took a chance a few days ago and did a mountain bike ride on the West Side flats. While it felt great to get out, it wasn't the best thing for the hands. SIGH I need to wait 'till I get the cortisone shots next Thursday. FWIW the Ultimate Single Track trail is always nice, but it's obvious that folks aren't riding it as much as they used to. It really does need some work with the clippers.
INSTANT BUG REPORT - Bug CON 2:
In general the bugs have taken another drop in intensity, so it's down to a 2 for the time being. We'll see what happens...

Climbing is a very dangerous sport. You can get hurt or even kill yourself. When you go climbing, you do so of your own free will. Everything on this site is to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blame us if you get up some totally heinous route, in over your head and fall and hurt yourself.
