It started in the Copper Country on Copper Island in the Keweenaw Peninsula yesterday. My leaf piles were frozen yesterday, made disposing of them a snap.You beat me to it, boss, but I ain't jealous. You can keep it for as long as you want. Sweet pup
I see what you did there.My leaf piles were frozen yesterday, made disposing of them a snap.
I just got a call from my mountain biking pard. He is driving 14 miles south to where I am to ride because where he lives a mile south of Lake Superior where there is 7 inches. I’m not going.I see what you did there.
Snow falling from the sky a little here on the Northern Front Range the past two days.
I hate you for that.Supposed to be 60f here today, gonna get some saddle time in somehow somewhere.
I already rode to fetch a breakfast burrito and it was 30f when I did that. When it warms up more, I'll probably go find some dirt.I hate you for that.
Living the dream. I ate a cookie for breakfast on the drive to work.I rode to fetch a breakfast burrito
I'm considering starting a pootube channel with something like this, but need to figure out how to cut production time to something manageable. I'd rather just do the aforementioned daily reality though. That said, time to get real...Why can't we be on a biking reality show where people tune in to watch me tinker and fix my bikes for the first 4 hours then I spend 4 hours riding around with a go pro ? It would be more of reality then the stuff they try to pass off.
Just set up a shop cam. Leave it on all day. If the Norwegians can have an extremely popular fixed cam stove fire channel (people get upset if they miss when fresh logs go in) or one that watches the elk migration cross the highway (most of the time it just shows desolation waiting for the elk to show up) then someone will tune in to your bike shop cam. I should put a cam in my lake, call it fish TV. You probably won’t be as popular as the floozie cam where you can watch her take a shower and get dressed. I just read about that never saw it, but this reminds me.I'm considering starting a pootube channel with something like this, but need to figure out how to cut production time to something manageable.

Yeah, last spring there was almost no traffic on Federal Forest 13. It was re paved 3 years ago with no shoulders but it’s glass smooth. I rode down to and across US 2, then a loop along Lake Michigan and back several times. I probably saw 5 vehicles on each trip. 62 miles round trip, about 1/3 flat the rest rolling to steep old glacial vegetated sand dunes. On each trip there was less and less snow in the woods and in the ditch. I was able to watch it melt off with each trip. The further south I rode towards Lake Michigan the less snow. I saw deer herds migrating across Hwy. 13. That was so enjoyable. I still gained weight. It will never be that nice again.While weighing out some parts sold yesterday I checked my weight and for the first time this year it was under 210, which is in my wheelhouse. Last Winter my diet and lack of tolerance for riding in the cold (for the first time in many years) found me hovering around 220 since at least September. The one thing about the lockdown/slowdown/spamdemic is that riding a bicycle is an "approved" activity. I'm half-wishing for another full lockdown here to clear the streets of vehicular maniacs and make it truly safer.
