Keep it free!
There is a system of trails in the foothills near where I live. Really, I’m pretty sure there is just one official trail, but there are countless spurs, social trails, old double-tracks...
Welcome Back to Shoulder Season
I enjoy the light in the fall and the sweetness of the heat while the sun is up. I’ve pulled out my headlamp and tights for morning runs. I love jackets and layers and the unpredictability of the temperatures.
Taking advice
Stopping in at the local fly or bike shop and asking for advice is a well established ritual, especially if you are in a new area. What river is fishing well? What flies are working? What are the trail conditions?
Gasoline
We spent the weekend around some gas-powered machines. It’s hunting season in the West.
Honey, Honey
Last night the backyard hummed when I took the dogs out, and bees were everywhere. We have two neighbors with hives, and with a yard full of flowers I am sure that our neighbor's honey is the taste of our yard and neighborhood.
