The fall here was amazing:
The last major ride I went on this past fall was a ride with my buddy Jason to do the Duffy Lake loop, October 28, next day there was a foot of snow up there. Was a chilly ride but always a good rip through the mountains. Actually, I began the riding season with a ride there in the spring and finished up the season riding it. Nice way to bookend the season.
Spring:
and Fall:
Otherwise, the winter has been a wash for riding. Record freaky weather, the wettest November on record, record setting winds, snow on the ground for weeks, with black ice and frost after that.
Heck, even the bicycles weren't going anywhere in the midst of all the snow, let alone my precious Gizmo!
Otherwise, life has been good. I did a temporary contract for a week around the end of October, beginning of November and after that decided I wanted to work for myself and go solo.
I've made the leap into self-employment and am loving it!
Other things... had a great time in Seattle for the Bike show there hanging out with Michelle and Jason, gorging ourselves on seafood, beer and coffee(something Jason is still mad at me for, introducing him to Vivace beans). Oh yeah, we even saw a bunch of motorbikes too. :)
What's next? Well the riding season is hopefully going to start up soon, had a fantastic ride this past weekend to the Vancouver Bike show, felt good to finally get on the bike for some highway riding.
Next up, I get a roommate. The Q-girl and I have decided it's time for us to shack up together.
