Big day today! Hiked up Mount Washington, the high point of New Hampshire (6,288 feet asl), via the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail/Crawford Path. Approx 4 miles & over 3700 feet of elevation gain. A very warm day by MW standards (hi of 66) to reach state high point #9! Now in Maine, my 45th state to visit!

In New England for a few days (work & long wknd at Cape Cod). Went to Jerimoth Hill, the highpoint of Rhode Island. It’s 812 feet asl, the 5th lowest state highpoint. My 8th state highpoint.

The views at The Office in Cabo are wonderful! It’s fun to go to Acre and play with the Acre dogs and see the other animals. The enchiladas (and the staff) at Los Tres Gallos in Cabo are awesome!

My favorite non sports stuff was La Grand Place in Brussels - one of the most picturesque town squares in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with structures dating back to the early 1400s. In Liège, I loved the 374 steps of the Montagne de Bueren and going on run by the Meuse River.

Got some good still shots of the peloton on the second circuit of the Mur de Huy and I did some more sportsing in Liège, taking in some top flight Belgian football as Standard Liège hosted OH Leuven at Stade Maurice Dufrasne. Great atmosphere but unfortunately the home team lost 1-0

Fun broadcast last night on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV as Houston Dynamo and Colorado Rapids end 2-2. Colorado around two mins away from a Western Conference leading 3rd road win, but in his debut Ondrej Lingr from Czechia ensured Houston would make it 7 straight w/out a loss in games vs Colorado.
