The late fall/early winter storms are rolling through the Pacific Northwest on a regular basis now. It rained yesterday and this morning, but the sun actually came out early this afternoon and it was an awesome day, albeit a little damp. Everything is wet and the autumn colors are starting to fade; most of the … Read more
Blog posts have been a little thin for the past week or so, that’s because we’ve had our first extended stretch of miserable fall weather. After a beautiful summer and a couple weeks of nice autumn weather with the leaves changing colors, the first week of cold, rainy, gray weather is pretty depressing. Rainy and … Read more

The sun was shining, it was about sixty degrees and the trails were in great shape. I’m just going to roll the photos…… Looks like a little rain tonight, maybe a dry day … Read more
Been out of town for a few days. Got a chance to check out the fall colors in the Midwest, where the weather was actually very nice for this time of year. Now back in the upper left hand corner of the country trying to squeeze in the last couple days of dry weather for … Read more

Thing is that the weather changes quick around here and it changed for the better as the day went on. That doesn’t happen that often. The leaves … Read more
There are miles and miles of logging roads around here and they all go somewhere. I had to ride on the paved road for a bit to get to the unpaved road but the scenery wasn’t too bad. The paved road turns into gravel road and then to dirt I am headed east, with Mt. … Read more

In a couple weeks, there will probably be a number of posts stating how crappy the weather is, but for now, it doesn’t get much better than this. Cool and sunny, just about perfect for any outdoor activity; just the way we like it. The leaves are turning fall colors but the grass is still … Read more
