27 August 2103

 New post. Finally. Just back from 2 weeks in NH. Started with my 35th HS reunion, then 10 days of walking a powerline for work, and ended with D2R2 -- 110 miles of dirt road with 16k ft of climbing. Arrived back in Columbia with the realization that the only thing I really miss here is Tom. Four more years....

Work--Blackberry season made the brambles a whole lot more bearable.

And D2R2, with many thanks to Bruce Rychlik for getting me through the day. 110 miles in 11 hours. Ouch.
