Bullet dodged.

Friendly Paul, El Capitan Sporty Pirate, and maybe Mrs. El Capitan Sporty Pirate were gonna come down and ride bikes. We were going to have a tentative adventure from which one of us would most certainly not emerge alive, but then Soulcraft duties called and Mr. and Mrs. El Capitan Sporty had to stay home to stoke the fires of stoke.
Undeterred, Friendly Paul hath agreed to come solo, donning thy cloak of two wheeled bravery.
However during a phone call, my better half said, "oh, you guys are riding tomorrow?"
"Yeah, why? Did I forget something else was happening?" I said.
"Yeah, *****'s baby shower is happening.."
"How could I have forgotten about that?" I thought to myself. "I FREAKING LOVE BABY SHOWERS."
But moments ago the girl called and said ***** just went into labor.

Sweet.

To celebrate, here is a photo of an artfully illustrated wang, guaranteeing me an all access pass into every party in Heaven, forever.

Relationships.

'What does this image have to do with bicycles?' you might be asking yourself.
The answer to that would be nothing, save for the fact that I just rode one.
Do you like apples?
Then how do you like them apples?

Oh, snap.

Tahoe in the summer

Last weekend Yuri and I rode a section of the Tahoe Rim Trail starting at the lake, winding up to the meadow at the top of 431, and across the TRT until we hit the Flume. This ribbon of rollercoaster-like decomposed granite with dinosaur egg sized rocks was one of the most beautiful and swoopy trails I've been on in a while. The ride ends at Ponderosa where you can either get your cowboy on, or dive into the lake. Check it out.

Living in the city sometimes you have to get creative on where you ride. Most of our trails are in public parks, and you generally go round and round. Plenty of old tracks surround Dallas/Ft. Worth, and many of them have gone fallow. It's not all that bad once you get into the rythm and settle in... besides you have it all to yourself.
