woke up, had toast and talked to granny, then got on my bike, took care of some errands, and then asked the guys at a bike shop where the nearest climbing gym was. they wrote me a note that got me in the gym free, and gave me a map of the albuq bike trails. so i went on a 45 minute bike ride, all on bike trails, most of it along this massive drainage ditch. i have always liked riding past industrial places, the path was fast and i got a good workout. the highlight was passing behind the lottaburger distribution center, lottaburger is a burger chain that i used to love when we'd come to visit during my childhood, now all i remember is my mom telling me they found lottaburger using sheep and horses a long time ago. yum.
the climbing gym was good, got a good pump, they had a giant cushioned mat so if you fell from high up it didn't matter, which i liked. the heat and dryness are causing my callouses to shred off, it's weird looking.
the ride back was against the wind, and i'm all sweaty, so i'm gonna head home, visit with granny, then go get us some mexican food. stoked about the food, plus i'm certain i'll sleep like a champ tonight. excellent.
