crunching paper

2010-07-24 crunching paper.jpg

turmoil over the foothills

2010-06-07 turmoil over the foothills.jpg

the afternoon ride was made interesting by the usual June Afternoon Weather Disturbance Pattern. No thunderstorms today, but lots of wind, and lots of fast moving clouds. Spring in the foothills of the Rockies is never dull.

2010 @ 2000km

2010-05-13 - 2010 @ 2000km.jpg

I passed the 2000km mark just as I was leaving my community on the way to work this morning, along Tuscany Boulevard and Stoney Trail. The mountains were looming large this morning. It was a great ride, and I nearly didn’t stop when I got to campus…
