Wish I had more time to wander my old stomping grounds – I could spend days photographing the post industrial landscape. I snapped 2 different panorama shots, and stitched them with Hugin. These are quick and dirty (and noisy). Still learning the new camera, and I need to take more time to set up – these were both taken when family was occupied for a few minutes. (click for big)

Skyline lost in fog, Innerbelt bridge and the industrial flats: (I’ve climbed several of those railroad lift bridges in college, at night…)

Interior of the West Side Market. Spot the family?

Starting to refresh my photography knowledge. Picked up a Canon G12 last week during the end of the year sales. Lots to learn…

Mellow weekend. Farmer’s Market, morning rides, flowers in bloom, some industrious kids up in the woods, flood damage, more rain, gray skies, good fun.

Surprisingly capable bike, and even though I can’t pull in the reach anymore (I’m all out of stems!) – I was pretty comfortable on the bike path, road, and some trail this morning. Its snappier than I expected, and while it feels huge climbing aboard, I noticed that it disappears underneath me when I stop thinking and ride. Hopefully I’ll get a mixed terrain ride in this Sunday to put it through its paces – road, dirt road, maybe some connector trail. I’m thinking that the 2010-11 model will fit me better than the first generation frames. They’ve pulled in the ETT a bit, making the medium size closer to my IF. They also shortened up the chainstays and corrected the head tube so you can run a rigid or suspension fork. The Vulpines roll surprising well on pavement and hardpack.

My usual morning dirt / path loop is a bit flooded. I still have a pack raft on my list, so no mixed terrain / aquatics riding this morning.

Tesla Roadster parked in the ONE. Love the license plate.

Snapped a pic of the Fargo on the singletrack connector from North Ave. to the lakefront MUP. The Epic (Revelate) frame bag is really nice.

The little one had a birthday. Lots of travel for work – Western NY, ME, NH, MA, CT, Washington DC. Then a botched attempt to get to a wedding in San Diego that ended (due to airline issues) with us staying in Manhattan for the night and driving back to Burlington.

Finally got out for a short cruise along the lake. Warm temps, wet snow.
