Went to the Damascus House in a bit of rain yesterday morning. No pics, but it did happen. I took the bike to church to lead a Life Group in the evening. I thought of taking pics, but it was pitch black.
But even as short as those rides were...it was great!

I went for my Annual Christmas tree run. I live in Nova Scotia Canada. Our province export hundreds of thousands of tree around the world.
Took a spur of the moment 125 mile ride with my brother for a burger and fried pickles at Greenwood Grocery in Greenwood, TX. A few sprinkles, but otherwise perfect weather.
Cold ride out today. Sunny and mainly dry but with a cold wind keeping the temperatures in single digits. Had a bit of a Yorkshire and Durham Dales roundabout tour. 230 miles just to make the wheels go round and charge the battery. I will have to get a camera sorted out at some point, there was some fantastic scenery today.

Did two rides this past week, one 100 miles to the hospital for my PSA blood test and a 235 mile trip with a small group yesterday. The latter ride was a wet one as it rained off and on most of the day. Someone had asked about my new Traklock phone holder, I used it on both trips and it works great. It holds the iPhone firmly without any movement unlike what my old phone holder did.

Nice. Looks like a "homy" store....
I got out early yesterday (Sunday) morning to try and get a new low temp ride, but the cold wasn't on my side. It never got colder than -5C/23F. I did a mix of back roads and freeway of about 75km / 46 miles in an hour and 15 mins.
42.8 F with lovely blue sky today, makes a change to all the rain we’ve been having, gritters have been out over night so bike will need a good clean lol. Pic is looking at Kinross in Perthshire. My outside temp gauge is only accurate when riding, the heat off engine makes it feel warm lol
Adventure riding today in Santa Barbara County, Refugio Road and West Camino Cielo Road.

Actually, it was a week ago, but I rode with my friend from Glen Rock to Twirly Top in Gardners, PA, via the foothills to the north-west. I had a good, juicy, messy double bacon cheeseburger, and a chocolate milkshake for dessert.
James (jtvisions) and I looked at the weather, and after a long spell of rain, we saw our chance. So with promises of dry weather and sunny skies, I headed north to James' house to meet up with him.
Unfortunately, before I could get there the Puget Sound Convergence Zone reared its ugly head.
Once I got north of Everett, the bad weather was behind me, and beautiful skies lay ahead.
Deception Pass and the bridge. If you have time, read the description on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_Pass It's a place worth spending a couple hours at, though we didn't this time.
One of the beaches we passed along the way.
Libby Beach. There's virtually no "beach" here. Still a nice place for a stop.

Bowman Cove

On the other side of that passage, is Deception Pass.

I took my ST out to the country for an hour. She had been sitting for 8 days and I felt bad about it. She forgave me quickly and all it right with the world again.
