Back & Biceps + Bovine Prep
Weight lifting
Didn’t lift last week in favor of beating up my bike, so coming in fresh today.
After workout notes: my stomach isn’t feeling great after that workout, and I napped for like 4h mid-day. Feeling fine this evening, but could be shrugging something off.

Shoulders + Bikepacking Prep
Went to the dentist for my 3mo cleaning recall, looking better. Gotta nail down the new habits: 1) mouth guard, 2) dental pick, 3) uber floss.
Shoulders
My shoulders felt a bit sore from yesterday’s chest lifting + the cycling (lesson: don’t put them back-to-back), so going low weight / high reps today. Curious if that’ll help with overall 1RMs after a few pushes.
Front raise felt rough, so cut a set.
…Chest / Tri's + Light Uvas Jog
Uvas Jog
Uvas Rd is closed for bridge construction through the 14th, i.e. few cars. Took a light Z2 jog/walk at like 14min miles – could feel the sore muscles from the last two days of riding.

Harvey Bear to Henry Coe Grind; Obsidian Org?
Should CEO and I use Obsidian more?
CEO and I were wanting yet again about a shared organization system. I like the ideas behind Obsidian (file backed, plugins), but will it work for us?
Our requirements are:
- Mobile interface: It’s critical to capture and access info from phones, even more so than desktop interface
- Easy-enough-to-use for everyone: otherwise it won’t get used.
- Hackable and extensible: cause it’s more fun that way
Harvey Bear to Henry Coe’s Hunting Hollow Gravel
My stoke was stronger than my legs were sore, so went on a gravel grinder from Harvey Bear’s lower entrance up to the end of Hunting Hollow. Strava here.
…Chest & Tri's, Mt Hamilton Basecamp FTP Test
FTP Test
I enjoyed testing on Sulfur Mt in Ojai last time, so for today’s headed to the Lick Observatory on Mt Hamilton.
Post ride: I started from the floor of the valley, which apparently added 2K ft of climb on top of the 3K from Joe Grant park. Not today, satan. I looped back after the first major climb (which added another 1K ft). Super fun descent. I’ll break it down by trying the upper section separately, then linking them up in a third ride. Pulling it off in a single ride would be like 2K m of climb, supposedly cat 2 (bordering on cat 1).
