Yeah the Monarch trip.
There was some wispy little cloud in the distance late evening concerning you. S and I still joke about such clouds in that context
Then Nick nearly died of cold trying to camp without sleeping bag or blanket while we were at 8900ft.
WTF?
Forgetful @Nick is forgetful.WTF?
That's a major oversight.
I was so excited while packing up my gear I forgot my bag on the garage floor. @Adventurous was kind enough to let me use the dog blanket out of his truck and probably saved my cold ass. I paid him back with real time trail maintenance
"Let me just collapse the outside of that corner so it's not there for Tim to use following right behind me"I paid him back with real time trail maintenance

In 1966 I rode my G15CS from El Paso to New Jersey. One night I was freezing my ass off trying to sleep in a rest stop and somebody was nice enough to give me a blanket.I was so excited while packing up my gear I forgot my bag on the garage floor. @Adventurous was kind enough to let me use the dog blanket out of his truck and probably saved my cold ass.

I do like shrimp on tha barby, hanging out in the billabong shed and Tracey Hannah, so yeah, I'm basically a bogan (and apparently one of the few who sucks at bikes)
It's a pissed off black racer that my dog unknowingly almost stepped on. If they were real cobras, I'd be wrangling them into a burlap sack and dropping them off at Pentecostal Baptist churches.
Montreal, from Westmount.
Correct. You also have St-Felicien, Chicoutimi and Mont St-Mathieu for the other pics.
We haven't felt like heading to a resort and dealing with people all summer, so drivetrain updates and brand new MT7's on our downhill bikes bought for festivus have gone all summer unused.
We decided to rectify that today with a self shuttle. Drove down the mountain from home with our road bikes, cycled back home, jumped on the DH bikes for a 1300ft descent back to the car.

Oops, sorry. Now I realize you could have parked at ours and caught a lift back up with some bike disassembly.(checks phone for missed call)
Or you could have used your bro-truck? Or does that permanently have the camper shell?
Kidding. I couldn't hold on to a bike right now, let alone down Apex.
Camper will be on it for another month or so, but I do need to do something about the water lines if it's going to be sub-freezing Monday night until Wednesday...
Here's one from my favourite ride today:
Kenosha Pass? Ish?
Mellow 30-mile cardio ride yesterday, trying to get my sorry butt back into shape.
I thought we are too far north for native Saguaros. I was wrong.
Magma outflow solidified on a quartz outcrop. We have lots of lava rocks but I hadn't seen this before
Another old Saguaro
Cholla forest
Towards the end, I was getting overwhelmed by abundance of freedoms (day time high was 111). Luckily I found a shade large enough to take cover for a few minutes
