Phoenix & Rattlesnake

I'm tuned into a new news feed this week, on the Phoenix Mars Lander. Each sol is a new adventure. [Phoenix is a Nasa robotic probe recently landed near Mars' north pole where water ice is believed to lie inches below the surface. A small backhoe will dig into the red planet and an onboard lab will analyze eight soil samples.]

Mountain biked at Rattlesnake this morning, studying trails that I've forgotten and the new one. That place is crazy - way too hard, but fun and it continues to call to me. Tried boosting the negative pressure on the fork to make it softer on rocky descents, and it seemed better. Currently 115 positive and 125 negative; will try 130 neg next. (Default is matched positive and negative, and that's how I was riding before today.)
