intended to ride something this morning during the "dry" morning time, but it never got dry. seriously raining. did a yard walk later this afternoon when the rain stopped. Dh and i had planned to travel to MT this weekend but the forecast for beginning of next week is not good. so...

Carolyn & judy, they never allowed motorized recreation. this new generation of "electric" bikers seem to think their bikes are different . it has always been non motorized. there are a couple people who zoom thru on motorcycles but they must live near by and are hard to catch. the...

we mountain biked this morning. 2 hours. This is a workout. the company that owns the tree farm may be edging away from how much access the public can have. Much due to people abusing the privilege. unfortunately it seems more likely bikers who try to ride thru places where active...

living near lots of water, we have lots of different ducks. mergansers spend most of their time on fresh water and nest along lakes and streams. they have big broods of ducklings. 13-17 and move downstream and join up with other merg moms. there are big floats of young ducks all together...

Rode the trail today for about an hour and a half. at the turn around spot at the bridge over the river, i spotted a seal first of all, a long way from salt water. like 15-20 miles? and also a large flock of common mergansers ( about 30) along the shore. they nest along fresh water...

It is good to be a little nervous on roads. cant be too timid. have been rushed by dogs a number of times. the most dangerous part is losing control and falling or riding off into path of a car. When i grew up there was no such thing as bike paths. I ve been riding a bike since I...

Judy we put a liner of bubble foam inside the bottle cage so the bear spray doesn't rattle constantly. I keep a can on my road bike and my mt bike. where we mt bike we have run into unleashed dogs. lots of people horseback ride and their dogs are always loose. weve never had a problem...

Carolyn what a wonderful legacy your daughter left. USAID was a wonderful program that benefitted so many. you must be incredibly proud of what she accomplished. diane sue, yes I think people enjoy scaring bicyclists. they probably think they are "great" drivers because they can pass...

Cathy we are pretty particular about where and when we ride roads these days. people are basically jerks. they always have been. they are less polite than ever. we ride early, usually sunday morning, and only a few select rides. there are only a few roads we are on briefly that have...

Good morning Carolyn. thanks for getting things going. hugs to you. we are having beautiful warm sunny weather so we did a road ride we haven't done in 2 years. last year DH didn't feel his knee would hold up to 25 miles. we did it this morning. and with a headwind to boot. how can...

I mostly took the day off today. did groceries, pet food shopping, some veggie planting and weeding. tomorrow we will do a longer road bike ride that we do every year except last year for the first time we missed it somehow. Dh's knee got injured and i think there was some road...

we did another mt bike this morning. first drove to the great big road washout to see if it was possible to get around and if we actually wanted to do that. it is HUGE, a giant gaping hole. . supposedly about 130 feet across and 70 feet deep. the stream goes a long way back up the hill...

we rode our regular trail this morning, and surprise, it was being partly resurfaced. it is asphalt but tree roots over time crack the asphalt after raising it into long ridges. got much worse last year, so bad that they sawed off the tops of some ridges so at least it was flat. this...

Carolyn please take as much time as you need off of posting. i am so sorry about this awful turn of events. we did a tough mt bike on monday. a new one that turned out to just go uphill. . it was a long tough climb and too much debris on the road to race back down. a...

OMG Carolyn... i am so sorry. what a terrible terrible thing.

they have a lot of problems with email and internet access in that area. i will try again but its probably not your fault. they live outside of Kanab and it gets to be boondock territory. https://paria.com/ try this one and go to tours. sometimes there is a www in the address too.

https://paria.com/tours-shuttles/ is the guide service we used. their web site has several tours and has fabulous pictures. we took the white pocket tour which was a full day. a big chunk is drive time. you would not want to drive this yourself in your own vehicle. Really. if you...

whole trip went really quite well. its a long drive, 2 days each way . met our friends at the camping area outside of Kanab utah and went on the guided tour the next morning. holy crap, the road we went on and the driving was really breathtaking. young guy was our guide. the road was...

We got back last night earlier than [planned. it was a really good trip with things getting done faster than we expected. it was very busy in the general area. spring in the southwest red rock country. really lovely and did the tour we would have been unable to drive to. it was...

we did a park walk this morning for 1 hr 20 minutes and i did my usual therapy work. hoping all things go well for you and your daughter Carolyn. She is probably very tired regardless. hospitals are no place to get any sleep and being at home in your own bedroom and bathroom are a huge...
