Comments:
AM: did trail work out at Bristow...and went a little overboard. Did about 4 hours of work with the gas trimmer, including this rather impressive cut-out of a trail viewpoint that (over ten years??) was overgrown by a wall of blackberry and scotch broom.

I think I almost get a little manic when I do stuff like trimming. It's fun and, for whatever reason, feels good, but I go too hard core. Worked pretty hard for 4 hours.

Once home, I rested a bit, but not enough. CA and I did a new ride from downtown: a big loop along the river, to North Eugene, then McKenzie View into Springfield, then back.

I was feeling tapped out already about 45min into the nearly two hour ride. But I hung in there.

About 90% into the ride, we stopped at Thornton's (my old) house in Springfield and had a beer and chatted. Finished the ride in the waning light, pretty late!

Fun day, but a bit much.

Longest exercise outing in a while...
