Nineteen miles, 2500′ climbed. Soundtrack by Howlin’ Wolf.

Me: I got some funny looks on the trail today.

Meilei: Did you have that dorky camera on your head?

Me: Yeah.

Meilei: Gee, I wonder why…

The girls and I went for a hike in Castle Rock State Park today. Unfortunately it was raining pretty hard and we didn’t get the break in the weather I was hoping for. So our hike was pretty brief, and it was followed by an in-car picnic… which was fun, as always.

We invented a new word, “dinch,” which describes a meal eaten half way between lunch and dinner. We’re on our way to dinch at the California Cafe later today.

I was curious to see how much mountain biking I’ve done so far this year, so I pulled it out of the GPS data: 724 miles, 96,648′ elevation gain, 87h23m.
