Friday:
It is a beautiful day and I stuck at the office. My progress with WPF has been notable, but I still have a lot to learn to create good apps. It is a very different way of thinking about things. All of this gets shelved next week. I need to slide back into the WinForm world and finish up a data validation screen that I had been working on weeks ago. Now, I need to rework a few things and finish it up.
My ride home from work was amazing.

Da plan:
Meet up with Scott around 16:30. Slice through the hills to Bull Run, Corbett, and across to Stevenson. Then dive back in on the north side of the river and lead Scott into the Klickitat river area. Amazing roads. I wonder how they faired this winter. I’ll know later today.

All of this is prep for the Saddle Sore 1000. We’ve got two distinct legs with exit options.
We shall see…

A plan is falling into place. June 12th – 15th. Training/shakedown rides are planned for most weekends in May. I’ll switch to daily moto commutes once the raining stops. Google Maps shows that St George is 1064 miles with an expected drive time of 15 hours 34 minutes. I know I can be more efficient than that but it is a very long day regardless and the roads south of Salt Lake City are unknown to me.

I’m slowly gearing up for a run up to Klickitat. I want to get up there and take a look. It can be a very relaxing place. There is a really nice turn out above the river where the sunsets are really pretty. The turn out is about a mile up a canyon. The sides are not steep drop-offs but steep grassland. The river isn’t visible nor is the upload plateau. It’s quiet with a big shade tree. It’s a nice place to stop, eat an apple and sip some water. Read more…
