Across the lake and back.

At Hiline Lake. Serious balance practice.

Spin to the west? end of the lake and back.

Decided a couple days ago to not try to stay back east for Sept-Oct national O meets; hip pain is limiting walking/hiking/trotting. Better to focus on healing that; switching to biking. Dan doesn't want to miss potential NY-NE bike tour, so I've switched my bike tour plan to an early Oct SAG tour from San Fran to San Diego. May try to add a few days on my own on one end or the other, in part to lengthen the trip and in part to challenge myself with self-reliant loaded touring.

Ridge south of Eagle River South Fork. To the saddle then east to the first peak. With the Happy Hikers. Totally fogged in so cut the ridge walk short. What the PT deemed to be tensor fascia (left) hurts afterwards. Yesterday's dry needling didn't seem to help.

Biked my errands. To the PT, to O gear shed, Nordstrom, Dan's office for ride home. Bike Friday, Brook saddle: still working to achieve comfort.

Biked errands and to Paramount (and back) to try out various seats for possible exchange for Terry Butterfly. Tipped over in the middle of the road while stopping at a light for left turn and scuffed the Terry saddle (and left calf), which effectively means I won't be exchanging it. Concluded it was too soft en route home.

Some Hillside ride on Bike Friday and Terry saddle.
