Just talked to his wife. Seems he can’t remember much of what happened. Probably a decent concussion

Too close to our due date, but looks like a good time!

Ditch Diggler took a digger this afternoon. Ken did the step down after the first few jumps at the top section. Rolled off pretty slowly and bounced upon landing, so when he got on the brakes he had no traction. Carried too much speed into the berm and flew over, ditching his bike and...

Thanks! He and his dad started their own autobody shop, so he was working 6 days a week there + a night shift somewhere else. I think he was just getting burned out. I actually brought my cousin on a short ride today to see if he likes mountain biking (he does) and I let him ride my old Kona...

How was getting up and down the mountain with traffic?

We were sooo close to going same spot same weekend but decided to call it off.

Edit! Decided to keep the rack fixed and spend the hinge money on parts for the frame hold down

This was a timely thread bump. Since I upgraded bikes, the hitch rack supporting the bikes from the top tube hasn’t been the best. It’s a tight squeeze between the top tube and shock, so I have some new scratches/scuffs. Decided to build my own moto style rack. About halfway done. The plan was...

Just dropped a rat trap with peanut butter in the garden. Let’s see what I get today

Wild! My parents tree dropped a ton of leaves this year and grew weird long stem things that are growing avocados on the ends, but it’s a little unnerving how many leaves have died. When we bought the house this tree was struggling. It was super scrawny, very few leaves… In other news, I saw a...

Forgot to include that the garden hillside also has pomegranate, another fig, apple, cherry, white nectarine, and two olive trees (very young, but one is producing fruit!
