Solo is always weirder. My mind creates all sorts of scenarios and sometimes won’t calm down until I feel connected with the environment where I am —like hour 8 of a ride or even day 2 or 3. Throw in any unpleasant event and it amps. Nothing wrong with gyming it up too!

Stairmaster is the ultimate badass; I think it has 20 levels! I wouldn’t know as I’ve never tried anything higher than level 13 before I become terrified that I’m going to shoot off the back of the machine.

That area looks so beautiful at dawn. And all the wildflowers! Sublime. Can't wait to go biking in the San Juans in a month.
