My Side Door

Another crappy view. Chicken Point is off the Broken Arrow Trail. I was pretty much toast by the time I got here. Being off the mountain bike since February wasn’t a good idea, but with the 65 mile Tour of White Mountains on October 3 more saddle time is in order.

For those curious, it was only 102 at 3:30p when I started and just 95 when I finished at 6pm. Even though the clouds were threatening, there wasn’t any rain.

I was attempting to head north to Flagstaff to ride my mountain bike in the relative cool, when traffic came to a halt. A small U-Haul had caught fire and pulled well off the freeway. The car fire then started a brush fire that is now burning ong both sides of the northbound lanes near the old Sunset Point rest area.

This was a bit over 2 miles down the trail. Very rugged and steep trail.

I spoke this morning in a breakout session about Social Media and blogging. We had about 60 people attend the session. It was a nice warm up for RE BarCamp, which is next week.

All ready for the first lap at the 24 hours in the Old Pueblo.

This is my new work setup with 2 monitors. Small monitor has Tweetdeck and big monitor has the rest. Phone on the right (because I’m a righty) and Sony iPhone dock on far right. This model dock is new and is 3G friendly.

Saturday we went skiing at Sunrise. My sister Shannon shows her improved form (she took a lesson in the morning).

With so many people on the mountain, it’s hard to find a good, clean line.
