Do tell. |

What's on the window sticker? It has MOTD potential.

I do want to hit the Hiwawatha. Hadn't thought much about the Olympian, but I should hit that too, having never ridden a bicycle in MT. I hit the Palouse to Cascades (and a couple of other trails) from Seattle to Ellensburg a few years ago, looking forward to doing the rest now that bridges are being fixed up. I read about some guys who did it the hard way, and thought about doing that. including planning on crossing the Columbia at Vantage on I-90 at the least-trafficked moment (like 4am on a tuesday?) I think I'll ride on 3.0" tires, figuring the soft sandy parts around the Yakima Training Range are still as soft and sandy as they were a couple of years ago, and not wanting to ride road much. |

Ha! I believe the gray area is the part of the US where the window meets Energy Star standards.

My uncle lives in Kingston, ON. We went up there a few times, and while summering there, made USA shopping runs.
No stores in Kingston? |

Completely friken normal ride tonight. I don't get it. What was different tonight? I have no idea. I was waiting for things to go askew the whole ride, nothing.
Good ride too, I did an extra .5 hour on my own afterwards. 30ish miles and 1800ft of climbing. Set Mt 2 best times on the whole Lotta lava Kom. My legs are smoked. |

That kind of thinking got us here in the first place! We still like the house, but it really is a mess.

BTW, last night I showed Mrs. GeneJockey a video on YouTube from that C&V collector who rented and renovated a space to store, display, and work on his MUCH LARGER collection of bikes. I said, "I wanted you to see this, so you will realize I'm not crazy. Look how many more bikes he has than me."
She drily replied, "Two people can both be crazy." Busted |

The ground has finally frozen. |
18 km futzing with traffic.

The problem with collections of any kind is that surviving spouses or heirs don’t share the same passion as the collector and everything gets liquidated, often below value.
