Pic of the Day

[RustyIron]

It is going on right up the road from my place and is going to reveal our mushroom spots to the masses when it is done fall of '23. That's ok though cause we have other stashes that are only doable via bike.

That's quite the mechanical contraption. I'm always torn... I hate to see commercial development of our trails, but most of our trails are the remains of what started off as commercial thoroughfares a hundred years ago.

What kind of 'shrooms do you harvest? I'm too timid. Every year I read of some poor fool who gets a new liver because he couldn't differentiate the good ones from the bad ones. Back in the day, psilocybe cubensis spores were legal, so I learned a little about mushroomology. Those were different times. More recently, Mrs. Iron and I were cruising around your state, and late one night we decided to go out for ice cream. One of the flavors we tried was mushroom-- Lactarius rubidus, to be exact. It sounded gross, but I couldn't resist. It was GREAT!

Had an awesome ride with my youngest on my wife’s Powerfly. It’s comically small for me but does the job till mine arrives

Played in the snow. Towed the kids sled until the front of the sled got ripped off.

Here's a couple shots from yesterday, riding Maple Springs-to-Motorway.

Seven miles up a fire road to the top, six miles up and down along the ridge, then three miles of narrow singletrack with loose shale, high speeds, and enough exposure where you wouldn't want to blow it.

The landscape shot shows the two highest peaks in Socal. Mount San Gorgonio is in the center, at 11,500 feet. San Jacinto Peak is at the far right, at 10,800 feet. Neither are suitable for riding, but they're great hikes.

A brutal ride/push/lift/carry around kinder reservoir in the Peak District. Amazing views, but managed 4 miles in the first 2 hours. Also ended up going up Jacobs ladder which was the final nail in the coffin

 

[Stihldog]

Stumbled across this new trail yesterday. Way above my skill and fear level. And then we had some visitors …3 of them.

I was actually super organised and ordered that top in mid December, which is way more organised than I usually am. Didn’t realise custom jerseys take 4-6 weeks to be delivered though !

Have been somewhat lazy last weekend and didn't go offroad, since I didn't want to wash my bike yet again during this muddy season. Went on an easy 20 miles asphalt round trip instead, which led me to a nearby boat tunnel (the only one in Germany as far as I know).
Btw. find it funny how the iPhone camera is having a hard time catching the bike's frame colour.

It wasn't him, he has the other set on - with no opposing thumbs he's really struggling to drop the magazine and put a new one in, so whilst he's a great shot, he's easy prey once he's out of ammo - he can run fast though.

Doesn't everyone do that ? Man vs Granite ? I have punched it once mid game - it hurt - I didn't have the "guardian" activated.

I'm playing this :


That's not me, with a wig and I've no idea what's she's wearing. I can only picture @Gary on his way to work in his roadie gear.

Bit misty on the reservoir today. Had planned a long route but half way in I discovered I'd forgotten my rucksack with my coffee, dinner and bike tools etc so having just gone over some very sketchy rocky singletrack with divots like the grand canyon causing pedal strikes galore I thought best to not risk it as I think my motor is on its way out too keeps slipping drive when underload. I'm 99% sure it's the motor gearing so might have to have a motor opening inspection day .
