Today's Ride

[chrsdipietro94@]

A scenic ride over to our local Bavarian circus... very scenic ride through Monitor, Cashmere, Dryden, and Peshashten. Leavenworth is a beautiful spot (x0 has reported as a visitor from here also). It's the place to stay if you want to ski Stevens... it's about a 30 minute drive to the ski area from here. It's a festival town, Winter, Summer, Spring, or Fall, for a small town, it always seems crowded.

Here's what it looked like...

Sweet view of the Enchantments from the North.

The Western version of the VT covered bridge

Looking West up Icicle Creek... Wedge Mountain in the background.

This is how it was when I moved out here 10 years ago...

WoodyGoomsba is gone... the town has become much more "refined"... it's a bit of a bummer.

Got to the cabin, unpacked and took a ride. The everyday riding at home has helped my performance up here, climbing our "hills."

Here's my only pic. Embarrassed to post it after the @chrsdipietro94@ daily awesome.

Wandering around in the state park behind my house. This was the place to ski before Mission Ridge was developed in the mid 60's. I covered almost the entire system. Lots of different options with lots of well developed high-bank hairpin turns. There's a skills park along with a couple of jump lines. It's a great resource to have in your backyard.

Here's what it looked like:

Sweet balance beam... my rig.... its on it's last leg... I just got it off the operating table... this is it's 12th season of service.

I stay off those balance beems. I seem to break derailer hangers almost every time. Time goes by and I forget and get on one and curse myself after.

I see this too. There’s actually a really big, old buck in my neighborhood that I see every couple months. Does and fawns are one thing. When the bucks lose their fear of humans, things are out of balance.

My sister lives in Ferndale, MI. Within 1 mile of the Detroit border. The city has Craftsman style houses packed close together with small yards. Her ring camera keeps catching a big buck (as well as does and fawns) browsing in her backyard! It’s unreal!

Dry weather is usually good, but man the trails are boney...

The barriers are getting a little more, in the way.

This one is actually a cake walk. Barely have to downshift.

This cat was definitely in the way...
