    Well my favorite ride area is finally snow free and I headed up there with good friend Scott to rip it up and test some stuff. We had a GREAT day. Super fun and perfect weather.

    Arrghh! I swore I wasn't going to look...but I couldn't resist.

    That looks a lot like the really tasty stuff in Idaho.

    And I, uh, noticed the lensing standicular stuff right away, too...

    He almost had to after letting Michael in.
    Love the photos but I have to ask, some of them look pretty familiar. Are some of shots reposts or are they just the same area. I can tell that a lot of them are new because of the bikes. I've seen that sidehill trail before and it always scares me just looking at it.



    Still resisting.

    All those pix are from yesterday. You may have seen this same area in other posts of mine in the past. I guess I am becoming redundant. :D

    Thanks man.

    Like anything worth doing it is full of frustrations, anxiety, unknowns and such but I have to admit I'm a pretty happy camper right now with most all aspects of my life. It is by design though and I have given up good money for a quality of life lifestyle. It's been a fruitful trade off.

    Again, thanks all for the support.

    BTW, about the location, I love it here but you do have to endure dark skys and rain for a good portion of the year. Many people who move here for the beauty leave because of the depression in the rainy months. About every other house in my area has a shop and "projects" are big in the winter months. Always amazes me the cool bikes and cars that appear with the sun every spring.

    Deep stuff and so true, Kelly. Glad to support a motivated local business as much as possible; especially products that don't suck (meaning yours).

    The dreary winter weather is always a topic amongst my peers and particularly the spouses that often have to endure it solo. It's driven lots of them away to other posts with more sunshine. I like a little gray dampness to drink tea with my wife. For flying, it absolutely stinks. Those beautiful lens clouds are made by deadly winds so I always associate them with danger; have seen them stacked 3 deep before over Rainier and gave them a wide berth when in the air. They make a nice picture, though.
