From Pleasant Valley. After a bit my old friend Mr. Owl caught up to me, and at age 72 he can still hammer. Uncharacteristically, he fell in with me and we chatted for about 6 or 7 miles until I started getting a lot of text messages and sent him on his way. (Rhonda is up in Maine riding 50 miles with Cindy, and by the time of my ride, on her way home again). Then near the top of Sandy Brook, there he was coming back again, so I turned around and rode back with him. Nice to see him after quite a while. He and I were such good friends 25 years ago, riding and running. So this was all a lot faster and more strenuous than I had envisioned, if a bit shorter.
5 PM
Note
I took the tractor down the trail to deal with some pointy rocks, one of which had upended and injured our esteemed friend walk this summer. Shame on me for not dealing with these things earlier. Two of the three popped up easily, The third was more of a project, definitely iceberg like, and plenty of other rocks came up in the process, so it turned into quite a large hole before I could start burying things again. Then, when I was cleaning up, my skill is not adequate to the task, so a little shovel and rake work, which ended up hurting my side (the vulnerable QL again). Feeling pretty ouchy after all this, but a session on my new roller did me a lot of good and got a nasty knot out of my L glute. Pretty satisfactory, I think.

Trying out my new bike at West Htfd Reservoir, the old Brainard map. Zack and I are getting new bikes. I grasp why he needs one, but one thing led to another and he talked me into getting one too. Very nice, but I think I am past the kind of aggressive riding I may have done 25 or 30 years ago. Rode some fairly rocky single track, but after a while that was enough, so did most of this on the wider roads. No close calls. Zack is away anyway, and his is still at the shop getting a few modifications.
I used to know this place like the proverbial back of my hand, but I suppose the back of my hand has changed some, too. Some things I remember well, some not so much, and of course a lot has changed. Big logging operation 15 years or so ago, some new trails, some roads now paved, some formerly paved restored to gravel, etc.

Rhonda's morning class, five of us today. Rhonda left the house ahead of me, but came skedaddling back for moral support because she heard a big animal in the field. Afraid it might be a bear, but more likely a deer. Anyway, we walked out there without incident.

2 min, single leg stretch
1 min, spine stretch forward
1 min, the saw
1 min forward, 1 min back, each side (total 4 min), bicycle

1 min, scissors
1 min double leg stretch

At the PT office. Erik came along, to say hi to Mr. Magna, catch up on old times regarding his son Brian. Nice to have the company.
Brian Sr's prognosis for me - if I keep this up for 4-6 weeks, he thinks 70% improvement, which would be awesome, so keeping it up seems like just the right thing.
