Today's Ride

[26er]

If I ever go state side again farther west than LA visiting the Hall of Fame in Fairfax is on my list, and like wise if I ever go to Italy visiting this place is on my list too: http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/la- ... of-cycling
Today the gloom is back so rode off into the land of beavers. To hide away from the wind, the ppl, the traffic... and the rest.

Re:

Today-Friday-Nice day, about 70 F. and sunny-a short but really steep climb up about 750' today-passed by my friend Otis' old Dodge truck with bike racks and old Honda 50...

Yes he would...

Otis is a lovely bloke. I have a very happy memory of being invited on a sunset ride on Amasa Back (just outside Moab) with him, Joe, Tom and a few others in October 1994 (I think). I had a moment when I was riding out of town in a high speed through and off peloton and thinking that if I messed up the paceline, I could be responsible for an embarrassing crash for a lot of my heroes. Then thinking that I should relax and enjoy riding in such company.

Hey Pat, What's the structure in second pic?

Re:

Not sure which you mean-the one that says CK and Larry-then the next one labeled North Bay is zoomed over their shoulders-the wooden thing in the foreground is a bench, across the way is a water tank...

The 'Land of the beavers' looks like its probably got a number of bodies submerged in it :shock:

Indeed indeed. Swimming with the beavers. Today, Floodland. Only fish and maybe the prince of darkness - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuezNswtRfo - knows the body count of these waters...
