I'm working too many hours per week for a (semi) retired guy, and they have come to depend on me showing up to cover my regular time slots.
But for my young boss having another baby and on family leave, I could have made a swing through Denver to see the gang off, and up through the Hills to see Tim.
Poor planning yields mediocre results, although I do enjoy my part time job.

Im hoping to be off by 10-11.
Be a 5-6 hr ride. Maybe 8…
It’s a learning curve for everyone so they will realize earlier is better. Except when it’s 53°F outside.

Better off getting out there around 7-8, Tim. Particularly if you're gonna do Needles/Iron Mountain Road. Trust me on this.

Today is the Badlands. Following the warmth.
I definitely believe you on getting out early. After today, it will be a different story. Early out, early in.

Easy there young man. I'm all for pushing to recovery but you are risking injury to you and your bike. Your grounded! Go to your room with no laptop!
