The cacti are out to get me. Last time, they turned me into a pin cushion. This time, I lose focus for a second, and they jam two thorns into my tire. And then the ticks came out to play.

And still, somehow, it was a good ride. My cadence is up, torque is noticeably better, I'm pedaling circles now, which means I'm climbing faster and more smoothly on more technical terrain. And I finally rode the whole "corral reef" section of the Santa Rosa trail without dabbing. Took a couple of tries, but I got it. Great feeling.
