And a Happy New Year





Still taking time off the road, until I make up my mind to get out my wallet and buy a bike that fits me right. Besides, my resolution this year is to do the sensible, responsible thing and go in for the dental work I've been avoiding for so long.






Last Sunday, after several sunny days, I went out for a short ride along the Nooksack River trail on my old K2 hybrid. It was only about twelve miles on a level trail, but it was a rattley, bangy ride. Some work had been done on the trail south of Slater Road over the summer, but after the first mile or two you can see where the river went over the banks a bit. No major flooding, but the water washed out the trail in a few places, swirling around, digging under tree-roots and under-cutting the trail.

Forecasts are for another "rain event" starting today.
