Things I miss.

Big Red and Baxter both keep me company in Living Room during Winter

Some days I really miss touring on my Bike.  Sure I bike around town every day, even in Winter, but it's not the same.  I miss the simple life of just riding my bike to the next destination, not caring what's happening in the world.  Riding through some of the most beautiful country in the world.

I am already thinking of ideas for next year...though I probably will stay a bit closer next Summer.

While I miss my Bike Touring during the Winter, I miss my home and birds while Bike Touring in the Summer.  It sure is nice being home with my birds right now, as I always feel so bad leaving them for a time while I travel as I love them dearly. 

Did someone say Popcorn Time?

Popcorn Time:  The Aftermath.  Popcorn carnage everywhere!

Festival of Trees - 2012

I'm back!

Well, it's been a while since I have posted here.  I have been rather having an uneventful few months.  I admit that even though there's been a Rambler's hike every weekend since I came back, I haven't been going on any.

Bit of a breather

I'm taking a bit of a breather from the blog...  as I've got a few things to do for the Caledonia Ramblers.  The good news is that I have finally have recovered from the bike trip.  I swear that it took a whole month to feel just right!  I don't know if this is normal or not, but I have heard that people doing extreme adventures need time to recover afterwards, although I don't consider what I did, extreme, like racing down 'Divide' in a record amount of time. Oh well.  I hope you've enjoyed my posting of my bike trip photos, most of which I wasn't able to upload and post until I came back...

I've been putting the studded tires on Floyd to prep him for Winter riding, but so far the weather has been excellent.  I can still wear Summer clothing.. amazing! Although I am sure that will change soon.  No complaints from me.  I should bring my camera with me, I missed an opportunity for photos when I took a ride on a local special steam engine train this weekend.

I have been offered a free beater bike to take Floyd's place eventually.  It's another cheap bike that I don't mind trashing....

From the border to the Redwoods

Biked across a state border

I've walked across a major border once, when I hiked on the Chilkoot Trail.. I crossed from the USA into Canada.
