41 times around the sun...

... and to celebrate I took and old friend



To this place....



With a stop here



To think about how lucky I am to have the life I have.


I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been in the dumps lately, but it's amazing how a simple ride in the "woods" on a simple machine can change your entire perspective on things. Indeed I am a very lucky man.

After my pause to reflect, it was back to the trail, and finally time to pack it up. Amazing that I can cram so much stuff into such a small vehicle!




Today, I'm off to tackle a rocky place with lots of climbing and great vistas with friends.

Wow, now I do feel "old" ;)

E, sadly I've not ridden CO, UT, CA, WA, OR, ID.... I had a bad attitude when I was younger (if only we could go back with the knowledge we have today) and didn't take advantage of my hobo lifestyle.
