Autumn Pruning

Got out on my mountain bike yesterday. Couldn't do too much off road with the wet conditions but my arm was feeling fine, just some slight discomfort. Glad to get some riding in again. Have kept my weight from going up but I really need to work out more. Still far above what I want to be at. Have to keep focus on weight loss through the entire Winter. Will most likely wrap up my arm for the next race, even just for the psychological effect. The doctor said it would take six to eight weeks to completely heal. Mmmm. Just in time for Thanksgiving feasting.

Looks like I will make it to the Wigwam MTB Challenge. I'm sure all my fellow Clydesdale's have missed my gentle taunts. It has been a while and I bet they have slacked in their training without them. They should all be grateful for my challenges that push them to improve themselves. The nemesis of old, designated nemesis and the one arbitrarily called 'Wally' (using real names would just be rude, seeing I don't know them well). We'll see how they match up on Sunday.

Here is another shot of my bike from another angle. All this blood gushed suddenly, after I got up, from the adrenaline reaching the contracted veins. I have to say again, always remember to control the bleeding before you do anything else, even if it doesn't look like its bleeding too bad.

I pruned the peach tree. Here are some before and after pictures. This interesting article came up on the sidebar. I was wondering if they were racing chainless.
