mullerb's musings

Got an itch to get into boating a bit again this year. Picked up a used "modern" boat with a planing bottom but still plenty of volume for us wimps. Got for $375 with a decent spray skirt. Took her down Lower Mish, PoudrePark, and Bridges on the Poudre River last week. Fun!! Such a steady solid feel compared to the old Crossfire. Off to Boulder Creek this PM to play in the park, flowing around 320cfs this PM.

So I haven't been tracking my rides on the blog for a long time now. Got tired of doing it and I'm not really all that keen on logging the details anyways. I guess if I were training for races I would. But I'm not. But, having said that, it is pretty cool to see that I've ridden well over 3200 miles in 2 years ago. I had to replace the old CATEYE8 odometer that I got for $5 from Jose. It was reading somewhere around 3200 miles last time I had checked but I don't know what the final tally is on the old thing as the buttons stopped working after getting stuck in that snow on the Lyons to Allenspark ride. So we'll just pick up around there: 3200 miles the first two years of riding regularly. This year will probably be a bit less productive since my two primary motivators, Kay and Heidi, have both left work this past spring. Plus, I bought a kayak a few weeks ago and the creeks are up!

Riding in the snow near Allenspark. Got hypothermic on the 20 mile descent.
