Seems the best way for me to relax is to ride a bike in offroad places that are challenging in several ways. Is that good or bad I don't know. I have been working on my bike on and off this past week, trying to make 100mm rims work with fork spacing and with 2X9 gears. I was amazed how much difference that made, with the fatter tires and where I can now ride. With 40% more "foot print" on my tires, I can now ride off trail and bushwhack all over Iowa country side. So I have been.
I got to thinking about winter camping and packing overnight gear. Riding all day and then camping off trail somewhere. Making a campfire, sipping from a flask of Blackberry brandy and listening to the coyotes as I fall off to sleep and riding again when the sun comes up. I suppose that puts me in a minority, and that's ok. I can't wait.
SUNDAY
Find out where this path goes, I saw today.
Some pictures of Sunday's ride below.
Cheers, thanks for stopping by, and hope you get a chance to play too.

I do remember a comment you made YEARS ago and I don't mean to embarrass you but it was so damn funny and it was in regard to your opinion on camping. You said, I don't believe in camping, my bed is paid for so why should I go sleep on the ground and come home smelling like bacon. This was years before your present insanity manifested itself so I'm thinking your opinion on this matter has changed.
@ Dawn, ha ha, I know I thought of that, I also said "I do my camping at the Holiday Inn" I'm not claiming I am sane....:-)
Looks like a fun ride Davie G! Really, you want to winter camp...burrr!
Don't worry Lisa, his bike will keep him warm.
