I finally have working rear brakes on my bike, so can start riding again. It is a 90 mile drive, no matter which way you go, to find a bike mechanic. I have a Bike Repair Book, but the pictures never seem to match the parts on my bike. Oh well, I needed apples so dropped it off at a Yakima shop, and they fixed it for $28. I got apples too.
I'll try it out today on the gated roads.

Schwalbe makes a nice ice tire for standard mountain rims, not sure if they make 'em for fatties.
Studded tires are illegal until after November 1.
Only in Warshington. Does it even snow there?

Funny you should ask. Most of the drivers here think we are in a perpetual ice storm. Just about every car has studded tires on and they are noisy on the seldom slick pavement. Some run them all year. I guess you never know when that ice storm will hit.
Weekenders from Bellevue, all of 'em.
Whilst on my bike ride yesterday, I found this out in the woods. The flames probably make it much faster.

I've got all the goodies you need in my box of bike parts.
I remember those days of freeriding. I lived on the Island then, and my wife was from Nelson. I was riding the best BC had to offer. "Northshore" meant something different than a Hawaii surf mecca
I've still got an old Brodie Holeshot frame in the garage rafters I keep thinking I'll build back up... not gonna happen

Nice bike tramp.
A fat tire setup has had me thinking along the lines of hunting access for the past year or so. We've got so much being gates here... I think it would come in handy

Yes. If you don't have a dog running along with you, you can sneak up on the critters. The same is true for kayaks. We were paddling on a nearby reservoir and wondering if a deer was really a deer, or if it was fake--one of those lawn ornament or bow practice fakes put there for a joke, because the deer just stood still with no movement. Finally it moved a little, but not much.
Yesterday's ride behind the gate. I try to run the Slightly Used Dog (SUD) until her heart bursts. That hasn't happened but it does calm her down a lot.
The area where I've been observing the failure and then bounce back of a Western Red Cedar plantation. It looked like it was a fail so the company replanted in between with Doug-fir. Now the cedar seems to be recovering from the deer damage and is catching up.
Old Snuffy, my faithful bike.
