Uh oh!

10 miles west and northwest, open farmland and trending uphill all into a 30 mph wind right out of that same northwest. By the time this image swum into my view, I was feeling a little ragged. Not the church, of course! Anyone who lives in eastern and northern New York or Vermont knows the...

Let me consult with my camping buddies and see what they come up with. You’re looking for a fire road into the woods kind of thing, then?

Jabberywocky, what a gorgeous ride! Between you and Flora I know I am going to have to throw the Creo in the car one of these days and head down that way for maybe two days of riding those incredible roads. We have similar terrain and dirt/gravel here in Washington County, but nowhere near the...

Washington County is terrific. You can park in Schuylerville (Saratoga County) in the Hudson Crossing Park at Champlain Canal Lock 5. Off the back of the parking lot is a foot/bike bridge that takes you over the Hudson and dumps you right into beautiful farm/Amish country, gravel and dirt roads...

Okay, winter is over…

Nah, it’s more about that Shoreline Gold Strat! Don’t see a lot of those 😎

Big long time Seth fan. I did notice his remarks about ebike acceptance in the Bentonville area, apparently the flip side to Asheville. His buddy Brian (BKXC on YouTube), while clearly lacking the storytelling gene that Seth has, posts some of the best visual semi-extreme to extreme mountain...

Couple of miles from the house an hour ago, the Champlain Canal heading up from the Erie Canal to Lake Champlain. Now I hear we’re looking at another six inches of snow in a few days… the foot we had last week just melted! I was surprised the ground on this path was as hard as it is, thought it...

I gotta say I like Avalanche’s Creo 2 and Gazelle combination… that sounds pretty good to me. For the past couple of years I’ve been on my Creo and my 2018 Giant Toughroad, sort of making a game time decision every day which one it will be. This spring the Toughroad is moving to my son’s house...

And there’s Stefan behind the wheel, wondering where the Specialized logo is 😎

After seeing that, I think I would want a howitzer attached where the Burley trailer usually is. A couple of summers ago while out in the PNW we encountered a “mountain lion activity” warning sign near Mt Hood, and it was a quick walk back to the car at that point. I’ll play with the black bears...

Funny how the Creo started out a straight road bike, the Evo being sort of an afterthought, it seemed. Look at em now! I have had mine in places I never expected it would see when I bought it, and my son now has my old faithful Giant Toughroad E+ as evidence. Two years, almost 5500 miles and...

What’s that blue building? Very attractive!

From today’s ride before it starts raining like hell again tomorrow: Seems like we’re getting a little casual with our historic sites around here.

See? All is right in the world again!

A kilt, of course!

No one keeps up with everything. If nothing else, I was personally happy to see this… it got me thinking, and sure enough the date struck me. No apologies would be expected by anyone, I think. You missed a hell of a good guy.

Sixty degrees tomorrow in February! Fifteen and a half to you guys, but good anywhere.

It’s one year today that we lost Alaskan. I was thinking about that while riding this afternoon. I have gotten so much enjoyment and involvement out of my seven plus years hanging around here, and guys like him were central to that. Amazingly, the group is still holding together though some of...
