Carlton Ridge snow report
In short, it’s up there, but not all that much yet. I took snowshoes, and that was a good choice. Until right at 8k there was almost no snow, less than on my camping trip almost four weeks ago. I saw funny tracks on the way up, and around 7.5k passed a couple hiking in…

While October is still around
Head on over to the Bitterroot National Forest site and submit a commit on their new travel plan(s) before the deadline on Guy Fawkes day. The Montana Mountain Bike Alliance has a pretty piss poor action summary on their site. Good ideas, but presented in a clear as mud fashion. In short, I would recommend…

Perfect background for distributing peanut butter cups to children.

Twitter is funny shit
Picture and antics courtesy of Bill, and Bill’s iPhone. So after a totally bitchin’ night ride in the quickly falling snow the crew headed for the Old Post in search of beers and burritos. Bill tweeted the same en route. When we arrived, Josh (at left with the fancy glass, hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps)…

Gogogogo
Before it is too late. Patagonia’s having a crazy (60%+ off) sale on base layers, most importantly on their very nice and normally very pricey Wool 2. I’ve had Wool 2 t-shirt since spring. A bit on the fragile side (don’t go climbing off widths in it), but super soft, amazingly warm for it’s heft,…

Two things I Like, One that I Hate
Ripin’ fall singletrack on the singlespeed (yesterday). It had been too long. No explanation needed. Banaaaaaannnnnaaaaaaaaaa. Both M and I hate doing dishes, and more often than not, it shows.

I got impatient
Yanow, that never happens… I’ve been thinking about the year in review video for quite some time now, and after finishing all important projects for the day last night (school), I manufactured an excuse to make it early. A 10 month (and change) review of the magic blue camera. A lot of that magic, now…

Out, out
I’m back on my feet, in a manner of speaking. Among many other things, I perfomed shoe surgery yesterday, cutting out the offensive seam overlap that ground up my feet in the Bob last week. I put duct tape over them, a bit of glue, stuffed the toes with newspaper, and let stand overnight. M…

Settling
It’s been tough getting back into a “normal” life.First, there are the energy levels and food intake, which I presume are for the most part directly related to each other. I’m still eating 2/3 more per day than usual, am unable to get enough sleep at night, have a quite limited attention span, and generally…

Sick
Dan Ransom (auteur of the day) was just getting into canyoneering in Utah as I was getting out (in a serious way). Steve Ramras (or RAM, the bearded guy in the red shirt) has first hand knowledge of technical canyons on the Colorado Plateau that is only equaled by a very few. Ram sent me…
