Up there

Went for a hike.


Found a stream.


G stood in it and drank it.


I chilled a Dale's in it before drinking it.

Another perfect day. I will be back there on the Soulcraft, some super sweet singletrack was discovered...

The Effect

Lunch at The Mountain Sun on Saturday, and yes that is a full size plate...

Hours and hours of grinding up the gravel on the Spot Saturday morning were the cause.

Paradise

Nice that the gravel makes it a route less traveled.


Used up all the daylight on the way home Friday night.


And went back up first thing Sat am...

Falling

Feels like fall, low 40s in Ned this am. No colors like above yet, but there will be.

Quick stop at singletracks coffee and then up the hill on the Soulcraft. Cool air, sun shining, perfect morning. The gear felt big, but it always does going up the shelf.

Last night took a nice little detour on the road bike; 1k down to Ned, north and up 1k past Ward to Overland Ranch rd then down 4k thru Jamestown and out to 36. Great 2 hour commute, not much coasting along, made good use of the 53 x 11&12.

With the cool air, the mind wanders to winter, watched Hand Cut last night. Soon...

I have plans to grind up some gravel on the way home and over the weekend. Tough to beat time spent in 4 mile canyon, Switz Trail, and Gold Hill Rd. I just might earn myself a piece of pie.

Great Escape

Remove 'climb up a ladder' from your list of ways to escape a bear.

Can Beer

All the rage.



That picture is recycled from a camping trip earlier this summer, just like the cans


An ice cold can of High Life is still tough to beat.

Bobcat

Saw one this morning on the ride in to work, down near the Ned HS.

Wiki says they are 2 times the size of a house cat... More like 2 times the size of a 7 month old Berner. No picture since it seemed as though it was looking for a breakfast snack.

Day six in a row on the bike, the kankle will be defeated.
