Spreading the fat around

Glen let me borrow his Pugsley for a weekend. It fits Liza well and she liked it. She's not ready to go off and buy one anytime soon, but I'd like to think that the potential is there.

Hill overlooking the lake

I'm at Lake Coeur d' Alene with the family for a few days. Like most of the cabins on the lake, ours sits along the side of a hill overlooking a beach/dock below. Behind the house, the hill continues.

One of my favorite things to do is to find a way to the top of hills like this. Usually, I hit a gate that is too serious to pass or the road turns to a goat trail and then terminates into forest and brush.

But today was a banner day. I found my way to the top. And at the top, I found sweet little cabin. I need to get out and do more bike exploring. I'm so burned out on the from-the-front-door rides at home. Hopefully that will change, but doing this ride this morning has reminded me that driving to ride opens up all sorts of new riding. And I need that right now.

That dot is the cabin: destination.

Midnight Century 2014 -- Finishers

I didn't ride it. But here's the self-reported figures from Central Food sign-in sheet.

If there are mistakes, or if you DNF'ed and want to be included on the MC results page, then leave a comment with your info. For DNF'ers, be sure you mention the bailout location.

Coffee Joe is working on a Finisher's poster... stay tuned for that.
