AM: 2.5 hours on the fat bike. HR 151.

A little anxious this morning, but felt much better quite early in the ride and had a really good ride. The roads around the Clarkston area were in excellent shape. 15.5MPH, which was solid. I think that was what I was doing on my gravel bike last year for the same or higher HR.

I guy I ride with came and measure to deck for the redo/repair. 20-30k I about crapped my pants.

PM: 4 miles w/ Megan and the boys, averaged 10:01. HR 140.

20-30k for repairs is shocking. You could buy a single wide trailer here and live in it for less than that. Is the deck wood? Composite? 20,000 sf? Is he going to build it in one day?? I hear crazy construction numbers all the time, and your number still stuns me.

I don't know, Tom. I honestly have no idea how much stuff costs sometimes. It's a high-end composite and the stairs have to be completely redone and it was for an aluminum rail. They were going to leave the existing footings and joists and build from there. So basically it would be about 70% redone.
