Place is still under construction, yeah it is still as true as ever. I did return M P’s fancy aluminum scaffolding today and the siding is mostly up and painting not far behind. That’s longhand for closer than ever. This year though, definitely predominately spent honing my carpentry skills. Glad the…

At The Casino

February 4, 2020 Facts Mountain Biking Travelling No Comments
Yeah I’m in a casino parking lot for the night. Saves an hour of driving. Despite being right by I10, it is still not as loud as last night, with the phenomenal winds rocking the bus. Winds aside, it gorgeous. Now it’s cold. By that I mean freezing up just…

Rode from the campground and on to Wrangler, whose general uphill slant made tired Zeke more so. At last we are at the start of Kernan Trail, from what I’d read the jewel of the place and it was rocking indeed. Kernan trail is a lot like Chutes from the…

I left wherever I slept last night late. Certainly too late to arrive in Yuma AZ by one. Or two. Maybe I arrived about two. The serendipitous thing is I’ve been semi on the lookout for when the correct alignment of geography, fatigue level, sense of urgency and daylight occurs…

Define Too Much

January 19, 2020 Facts Improving Mountain Biking Travelling
At 1/6 into the ride Zeke was pooped. Still, the route was oh so compelling. Plus I have an association with how an occasional big effort day, the ones physiologically perhaps too taxing, sure seem to make for inflection points. In other words, that blowing up from time to time…

Some Cacti Want To Come Too

The cover for the fill opening on the water tank is, more specifically, a dust cover and, as such, not necessarily designed to be water tight perhaps; I’ve proven this one isn’t positively. Current as of this morning is a new system involving metal and some plumbers tape. Not good…

Two Wheel Time

Ok so Zeke can sleep. Omg like not less than 10 hours since The Departure. The issue is mucho sleep + slow breakfast = late start. Plus the expected trailhead feffing. And then I continued to experience the consequences of my inability to fill up at least a second water…
