Tent Caterpillars nest?

Actually, they are Webworms:

Webworms are far less destructive than tent caterpillars. Webworms limit their damage to a single branch or tree whereas tent caterpillars, like gypsy moth caterpillars, can defoliate an entire forest.

Unfortunately, we have all three in my neck of the woods.

The other day I went for a random ride around North Surrey. I followed the Greenway under/around the Skytrain line.





There are lots of hills in the area, and the Fathom knocked them all down with ease.
Here's a look across the Fraser river under the power lines.

Nice day in NH went for 29 mile ride. Went to Bow NH. The mirror had a free sign on it at the end of a drive way.

I rode by our 8 year old grandson Ira's school when it let out this afternoon. The school is about a mile and a half down the road from our house. We rode home together. What a great feeling. Hoping this is the first of many rides together.

 

[Alaskan]

Went for a ride with Ira's dad the day before yesterday. Our son, Julian, is 6'6" and probably needs a big and tall bike. I think he kind of dwarfs this one.

This is on Lummi Shore Rd. on the west side of Bellingham Bay, looking back east at the town with Mt. Baker (10,700 ') just 25 miles inland.

Fabulously sunny winter's day on the Skipton Rail Trail. This ride goes from Smythesdale to Pittong (not Piggoreet as labeled in the video....oops, gonna have to get a new editor!)

He’s riding a Giant bike but when Giant isn’t Giant enough go for Extra Giant

 

[DaveMatthews]

Found a couple of dyke/greenway trails in Pitt Meadows which amount to about 20kms one way.

Here's my buddy on his acoustic...





A small marina and boat launch...

A little windy today but I managed a very enjoyable 70 miles, 35 miles of tailwind and 35 miles of headwind! After 35 miles of tailwind I had 77% battery left, the 20mph headwind soon ate that up and 5 miles from home my battery dropped to 8% So I turned the assist off and saved it for the 2 climbs of 10% near home, the second of which was into the headwind so it was a wise move My 2019 total is now 2,484 miles from 41 rides, average distance of 60.58 miles which I'm very happy with

Of course Steve, its a very funny show! Sadly they have decided to call it quits and will no longer make any more episodes!

 

[DaveMatthews]

Decided to go over the Alex Fraser Bridge the other day... cuz it's there... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Heading north up from the Delta side.





Looking east at the apex of the bridge.



Heading down the north side of the bridge was exhilarating... until I came across a sign post that took up over 50% of the walkway. Hydraulic brakes rock! There was some rubber laid down.

Nice day in NH temp in upper 60 lower 70. Went out to New Boston NH. Went on the short rail trail started at Lang Station end and ended at the fair grounds. The scenic pictures on Wilson Hill Rd do not do the view justice.

August was my first full month of owning an R&M Homage. I made the best of it. Its an addictive bike!

Congratulations David. What an impressive way to break in your new bike! The Homage is such a great ride!

It rained a few days this past month so I came up a bit short in August with 885 miles. I did bust through 100,000 total miles since recording with the Nyon. Add in approximately 1,600 for a total of 101,700 since I started riding an ebike in February of 2018. My car is feeling very neglected.

I know your Connecticut winters are more restrictive for bike riding than ours in coastal Washington. I have learned quite a bit about how to layer up for comfortable cold weather riding. Happy to chat about that if you want to start a private conversation.

 

[David Roy]

To close out August I arranged a 60 mile ride with my wife Marji and her sister Bev. They rode our original Magnum Metro bikes. Marji still loves her Magnum. The range of the Magnums is about 40 miles so we rode to Bev's house about 25 miles away and charged the bikes while we had lunch and swam. She lives on Coventry lake. The remaining 35 miles we toured the area both Marji and I grew up in but had not biked in. It was very nostalgic. A lot of changes over the years.

Coventry Lake - I lived on this side and Marji on the other.

Fall is rapidly approaching. The hay is being stored for winter.

Beautiful old barn still being used. Not many farms are still working.

 

[Larry Nigro]

Nice day here in NH temp in upper 60's. The road was closed to car traffic I walked my bike around the barrier. A culvert pipe needs to be rebuilt.

 

[Bobsiii]

39 mi day down the Platte to Bear Creek and west to the 13th tee at Homestead Golf Course, then home. 715ft climb in last mile out, twisty paved path, great views even on a hazy day. Most of Bear Creek is nice, long wooded stretches some open almost savannah areas. Had to stop at Grant Frontier on the way out; transportation has come a long way.

edit: checked ride profile, total climb was 715, just under 350 ft last mi.

Marji and I rode through part of the Natchaug State Forest in Eastford, CT yesterday. They were in the process of clearing out the dead oak trees killed by 3 years of gypsy moth blight. The trees can survive 2 years of defoliation but not 3. This area was hard hit.

Riding through an avenue of healthy trees in the same forest. Marji has a new Cygolite Hotshot tail light. It is very bright even in full daylight.
