Great workout up and down American Springs. View of Water Canyon was excellent, Violet-Green Swallows soaring all around me.

Hip, Hip, Hoo-rah!
New hip cartilage, that is. Excited to be back in saddle, eager to rebuild strength.

Pueblo Canyon!
Twitching for rare birds and blue skies. Contemplating hip therapy (surgery or injection) to address missing cartilage. Glad I'm still riding!

MTB Sedona!
Nice views of Courthouse Butte and other escarpments from about halfway along Skywalker Trail this morning.

Octopussy's Rock Gardens in the Shade!
I enjoyed (?) bouncing along what passes for a trail in Sedona. But the scenery is nice. With snow melt in the high country, the little river was roaring.

Conditions were dicey on Buddy's Run at the Storm Peak summit at Ski Steamboat yesterday morning. Not only could I not see the snow under my feet in the whiteout and fell twice when I thought I'd come to a stop but had not, I was correct when I was guessing wind chill was -20F. Check this recording from the NWS station at that summit.

Steamboat Springs!
Back in one of my favorite places, Steamboat is where I learned to ski during my last year of college, now 37 years ago. Vis was so poor at the summit today there were times I couldn't see the snow under my skis.
