Errata

Another stellar ride yesterday at the Basin with Chris (Bray). I have not ridden with him for at least a year, but he is always fitter than me and very game.

Two super things occurred for me:

I cleaned 37 for the first time in a while, and the first time ever late in a ride and on the MM.

I nailed the rock drop depicted in the prior videos perfectly. Felt great.

Pulled a muscle in my back climbing 37, hopefully the Pilates program Dan set me up with help heal/prevent that. First session this am, and I feel great, but suck at the exercises, especially if they require flexibility.

Finally, I'm going to try put in some scripture as I read it that stands out to me. This is mainly in an attempt to keep it in my own head by writing it down. I read the bible daily,b ut find many times, by the evening (or even lunch), I have forgotten what I read. Even things I thought were particularly applicable. The mind needs exercise like anything else, and rewriting is one way I can exercise it.

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

From Psalm 139

"This is the one I esteem:
He who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word."

Isaiah 66:2

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?

Matthew 16:24,25

My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken me, the spring of living water,
and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

Jeremiah 2:13
