Bags. They have arrived and they are wonderful. Check out more of Eric’s work.

Standard seat bag stuffed with tools and extra layers.

I’ll try to get a full review after I get some time with them. I have the standard seat pack and the narrow handlebar harness system with small pocket. These have replaced my Acorn bags… which while well crafted just weren’t for me.

Roll top closure - the fabric is not waterproof - but nothing I've used save my Ortlieb's really are.

Harness and compression system - this bag is about 50% loaded.

And – there is snow on the High Peaks and the tops of the Greens. Fall color is peaking. A repeat of last year’s October mixed terrain is in the works.

The ADK High Peaks. A dusting of snow to complement the color.

Patriotism

Friday, February 15th, 2008

This has made the round of the webs before – it is one of my favorite commercials that will never make it to the tele. (not that I could watch it anyway…)

If only patriotism looked like this. Errol Morris has done quite a bit of nice work.

Summer Evening

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

I smelled summer on my evening ride. Highs in the 70s during the day and that sweet smell of summer as evening cooled the air. We’ve a long way to go before summer is in full swing – but today we got a taste. I rode out to Shelburne and back on an easy ride exploring some backroads by the bay and returned after dark.

VDay

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

Winter’s arrival forced us to cancel our culinary Valentine’s Day plans at the Inn at Essex. Instead we enjoyed a home made meal – and stayed toasty warm and out of the blowing and drifting snow. An attempt was made to get out last night – but our road wasn’t plowed until this morning. I threw in the shovel and snapped the picture above about 5pm last night. We received another 6-8″ overnight – and the snow packed in so tight around the car it left Subaru prints!

Fussing with the drive train, doing some cleaning and adjusting. The digicam called out to me.
