Getting ready for a big shuttle run descent from the franklins to the houses in the valley below. Hooked up with some locals and found the gnarly stuff. Definitely some Chihuahuan desert freeride going on out here.

Sorry to hear about the health troubles. This got me to schedule a doctors appointment and blood draws. Wishing everyone good health going forward!

"Billy Goat", and not "Old Goat" which was his actual nickname? Maybe another Wilco official's overreach, because "Old" would be ageist? He was a great guy, was always willing to give a hand, and would give you the shirt off his back, so he definitely deserves recognition and is missed dearly. Glad this old dream of a trail was finally realized.

Who's going to be the 1st to create "The Meg" Strava segment? 1/4 Notch Double Down Bob Ross The Rim (all the way to the top, down Dave's Ditch, then the climb back up to Rim that starts near the end of Dave's Ditch, then take a left towards The Bowl) The Bowl Billy Goat Picnic I think the opposite direction (Counter Clockwise) starting at Picnic will be harder.

coming soon! found a beach cruiser with canti posts, so it's getting th SS treatment, swept-back handlebar, and some sort of very un-serious baskets for hauling picnics.

I have struggled with cholesterol for years. It's a hereditary thing because I have tried everything and can't seem to bring it down. For a while I had a doctor pushing me to get on statins because my overall number was well over 200, which is why I tried everything to avoid statins. My new doctor was much more pragmatic. Her position was that as long as my LDL was less than 160 I was fine to stay off statins. Because I ride every day, my HDL was high and my eating/drinking habits kept my Triglycerides in check. 7 years ago I had a calcium scan and the score was ~25. Just had one in January and my new number was 140. Statins it is. Step aside lifestyle this is a job for science.
