The Road Not taken...
The road not taken... because there is no road.
There is a path to the left of the creek...
A rooty, rocky, and windy path at that...
And so beautiful...
And a little challenging...
And coming out of the ravine...
Back to the city... there will be a bit of a climb after the bridge.
Heading for that big pink building...

Snapped back to reality... ugh.
And after a few miles of that I am back in quiet little neighbourhood...
I love this season.
And a few shots of my bike that does it all so well.

good to see you're back online without causing malware warnings. I'll bite, what is that bike?

Bike is a 1990 Moulden (local builder) that was built about a mile from where I took this picture... he has retired but the shop he founded is still in business.
Seeing some of the new offerings I think he was a little ahead of his time... although the drop bars were my idea.

we be rollin'
By the way, what is the wheel size? If it's 26 inch wheels, do you prefer that to 700c?

Nice pics, Sixty. Someday you'll have to take me on a tour of some of the trails; I've probably not seen a tenth of what this city has to offer.

Those tyres are Schwalbe Hurricanes which are 26 by 2.0 and this pair has seen over 10,000 of mixed use riding and they show no sign of stopping and still look just about as good as new.
They are like a cross tyre for your mtb and do come in a 622 sizing... best suited for hard pack and as such work rather well on the street and roll out extremely well with just a little hum at high speeds.

There are some amazing trails in this city and I miss riding them as much as I used to and do not ride them as hard or fast... is kind of nice to enjoy the scenery rather than have everything be a blur.
