Some days resolve themselves nicely into a narrative. The story has a beginning, middle, and end. Today was not really one of those days. A lot of things just kind of "happened". There were some amazing moments. I rode most of the day with Kip. His daughter couldn't ride today because her knee is like a Pain Party and only she is invited, so we busted up this 5000 foot incline without her. My favorite part of it was after cresting the ridge at the top, and thinking we were done, Mother Nature had other ideas - she blasted us with winds blowing so hard that even though we were technically going downhill we had to stay in the granny gear to make any progress. Everything has started to shift again from the super dry red desert to something that feels more like an oasis. But I know we're headed back to the desert; it's waiting.
