Mountain biking w/ Darin. Lake Ray Roberts Isle Dubois trails. Trails are very rocky, lots of low-gear climbs. Not a fast course, but a good workout.

Smashed Garmin when I hit a tree. Garmin is exchanging it for a reburbished one for $79. It served me well for a few years!

Nice cool morning run before work.

Mountain bike riding w/ Darin and Mike at Sansom Park. Not very fast. It will take  few times out there to figure out the trails and get the speed up. Bent front middle sprocket on a rock. Banged it back into place with a rock. Works fine. Had one fall where I landed on my wrist - no major damage.
