I have three months on the trainer, shooting for a 300w FTP. Need to see 4w/kg next spring, race in cat-4 and maybe not be embarrassed.

I see no leg hair and properly fitting kit, so I can't complain.

I am drunk, eating muscle relaxers, dreaming of riding the Stigmata in Colorado. Don't worry, already rode the trainer for an hour. Extremely fucked-up.

squishy is both traction and comfort.

I'm at a really strange place right now professionally in addition to getting on the DL with the injuries, realizing that with all the difficulties that come from a busy part of the world and 100% management turn-over recently, I need to get back to New Mexico, get more involved with the work there, enjoy the relaxed lifestyle in the high desert. There's a little part of me that I recently discovered when I started cycling and an new found love-affair with the outdoors. I can't get it here because the flatland is not pretty enough, but I need DFW to support the lifestyle I want, which lets me get back to NM for fun, unwind my brain, relax.

I moved back to the promise land after living in Oregon for a couple of years.
I live in the mountains at 7300 ft of elevation; property backs up to national forest. It was not expensive...
Definitely no regrets... but I did grow up here as well.
This is my neighborhood:

When I switch positions I'll be in Santa Fe on two-week intervals, monthly. Will need to purchase a disc bike to leave in NM.

And now, for my next feat, I will do arthroscopic knee surgery!

Still liked the Orange substantially better. Wish they had one left in my size.

Somehow I got stuck with a black one. Everything else I own has screaming colors on it, not the CX bike though. BTW, I've had that frame since January and it was 245.9 miles on it, lol.

I would love to see some of Santa Cruz's other colorways on the Stigmata. Also, TIL Santa Cruz calls their custom paint program "CCCP"...

Am I going to get tired of pink? It's either pink or purple.

Purple is reasonable, has staying power, looks good on other colors. Pink is righteous though, very much a fuscia more than pink, only really works on this frame and I think this will be my last conventional-brake road bike. hmmmmm
