Vermont to Switzerland
Some snaps from a slow roll this morning. Everything is fatigued and tired and sore. Rumor has it the 9 yards of dirt I’ve moved and the 800 square feet of soil that I turned hasn’t helped things… 😉
I really love the light in the morning – especially with a thin fog over the lake.
Spring is here. Flowers, dirt, rock from the past week.
Got out to Sunny Hollow this past weekend. Mix of road and trail and railbed walking to get there. Did a few laps and explored a bit. Dropped the saddle, and raised the bars just a bit for single track riding. Trails were dry and fast, with a few sections of tacky dirt.
Starting to get back into my ‘routine’ of an early morning ride. I have some mixed terrain loop options – anywhere from 12-18 miles, depending on how I stitch together trail, path, road, and some dirt. Camel’s Hump was bathed in early morning light, and the Winooski was very still.
I carried the new (holiday present) eTrex20 to start learning how to make it do what I need. I hope to map out all of the local trails in the next week or so, and I need to find the flow in the local woods again. Since I mashed my face I haven’t spent much time riding the rocky, rooty, and sometimes flowy local single track.
A snowy ride with Wil exploring the Intervale.
Our snow turned to a crunchy and thin top coat – I ventured out on the Fargo today with studs to explore a bit and enjoy the sun and blue sky. Pushed the chain into the spokes twice, had to adjust the limit screw in the field – have no idea how that came out of adjustment. A few snaps from today follow, have a bunch more but need time to process them.
Twas a good day. Tea and homemade baked goods on the beach, blue sky, sunshine, and a bike ride.
Quick spin in the woods, first time since smashing my face and cutting up my chin.
Pretty sore from yesterdays 45 miler on the road, so I took it easy and spun out a few loops, then played with the camera. Need to use a faster shutter speed when capturing motion. So much to learn…
Starting to refresh my photography knowledge. Picked up a Canon G12 last week during the end of the year sales. Lots to learn…
’twas a quick first ride on the flat bar Fargo. Met Wil. Enjoyed a coffee. Was showing the way through the local trails when I endo’d and my face met this rock. Lost my facial hair in the process. Trying to avoid the ER. Headache. Feel like I’m 12.
