Big Earls' Maiden Voyage.

My Big Earls Mountain  Bike Tires were virgins until today. These Bike tires were purchased over a year ago. I put them away to ride with Nokian Studs, and Big Earls became very lonely. The other night I put them on my Trek Hard Tail, they were quite happy and anxious to please.  I had to trim back the outside knobs on the rear tire to keep from dragging on the bike frame.

Today's journey would not be safe for babies, I had to tell Creepy Baby, NO CHILDREN ALLOWED. and then pry her away from Big Earl

I wandered into this small creek bed, it was a hard rocky bottom and rode easily, as long as I kept the bike upright, and my feet dry.

Then around this cliff, this gets totally over grown in the spring, and can only be ridden after winter snow leaves and before spring green shows up.


If I was a pound fatter this bridge might have collapsed on me. My path then took me to this private retired Catholic Nun farm. I ride here once in a while and I always get friendly hello's from the old gals so I reckon it is OK to tread on this ground.

It was wonderful to see beautiful sky blue today like this. My pictures don't show this but there was some places in the valleys that the snow was too deep to ride. I am hoping for more melt tomorrow with temp of 50 degrees fore casted. 


BiG EarLs did not disappointment me today. I will ride them again this weekend to some new places, to some old places. 

Some people can not understand why I try to arrange most of my free time for bicycling. I saw no other bicyclers today.  I can't understand why I don't have to wait in line to ride places like I did today.

and now home sweet home, time to kick back..
