Made it out for a bit this morning to run some errands, 24hr grocery stores hooray, and cruise by the beach.
Looks like I am going to be getting some work done today, pretty small surf, and yes the fog is looming just off shore.
On the news front, the niner had up for sale, then not, is up for sale again. You can see it
here. I also have plenty of the silver shifter bump caps,
here. These and a few other items will be starting to sill up my shop/garage sale pages in the coming week. I have 4 bike projects for friends in the works with more to come, this should help spice up the content around here in the next couple of weeks too.
Happy Monday, be sure to ride this week!
Thank You for taking a look!
I have made it a year now today, and without the encouragement of you all looking regularly it would not be so much fun. I have learned a bunch, met some new people and achieved some of my goals. The foremost, using the tools at my disposal to encourage you to get outside, ride your bike, escape the inertia of using your car to get around and play a bit. It appears to be working on that front. The rest has some room for growth, but that will come.
Back to the photo stuff. I really have enjoyed the GoPro for its ease of use and angle of view. The thing is that I have been feeling a bit lazy with respect to my creativity. The creative outlet fuels the rest of the passion to keep this going. I will be relying less on the GoPro an da bit mor eon my other cameras from here on out. With darkness approaching I decided it was high time to teach myself the art of long exposure night shooting. Not as tricky as I thought for my first stab at it.
The shots take a little more setup and gear hauling. The results are well worth the effort. This was the most fun I have had shooting in a while.
Thank you again for your readership, and as we roll into the fall and winter do not forget, PLAY OUTSIDE!!
Happy Friday.
First order of business was getting the new old Fuji to its new owner for some weekend fun prior to deciding on the final build out. I am pretty sure her stoke is apparent,
after some fast wide loops to get a feel for the handing, she was showing off, hopefully there will be miles of smiles.
Then the munchikin and I made our way around the point to check the surf, just for fun,
Of course, since it is thursday and I am on daddy duty the surf is overhead and pumping, so it goes.
Back to work, exciting things are happening, more on that in a bit.
Surf Check October 12 2011, 0 Comments
Made a quick stop to check the surf on my Wednesday rounds,
Low tide is going to be good, time to get things caught up double time so I can get out there for once. It is looking to be a good day.
Another beautiful morning to get out early and go for a spin before getting on with the day.
You may have noticed the state fixed my favorite bridge to kep us safe this summer, kind of a bummer.
Surf Check October 02 2011, 0 Comments
I made it out for a quick ride around the neighborhood in time to catch the sunrise. Yes the surf is almost flat today, but the light show was amazing.
Time for pancakes and then to get on with a day of riding, chores, and a bit of fun stuff.
Today was not a god day to sleep in. I rolled out of bed at 6:30 to the best morning light in two months. By the time I was out and about the light show was over, but the day is still the most clear we have had. I ended up taking the scenic route to run some errands.
It is going to be an incredible day, lots to do, and I hope it is this nice by you!
It has been a few weeks since our little girl started child care a couple of days each week. After our post lunch ride I was reviewing the pictures and noticed a pattern. She is in on Monday and Tuesday, and guaranteed fog, gloom and onshore winds. The other three days she is home, the sun comes out, the surf is usually pumping, we watch from the beach, and the playgrounds are blazing hot to the touch.
We still have tons of fun, and I cherish each moment, but I really do want to get back in the water someday.
If only the rest of life's challenges were that big of a deal.
Finally made it to the end of the week, one of those weeks where days feel like weeks and the week felt like a month. This morning it was trying to rain with a false start, not fog and not quite thunder storms. Just gloomy out. Then it gave way to an incredible day. I loaded up the team on the family truckster and headed down to the beach to get some sun, air and check the surf.
Happy Friday, enjoy the weekend and play outside!

Today is going to be an interesting day, lots of potential, and I am warming up to throw everything I have at it.
It is amazing what 4 or 5 hours of solid sleep can do for one's disposition.
