Motivation was lacking after a hearty dinner today but managed to get the mountain bike out for a golden hour loop around town.

For Cinderella it was home by midnight, for us in summer, it's 10am, 10:30 latest:

Changed a flat tire, then did 10 miles with my SO before the T-storm hit.

Gifford Pinchot National Forest riding

NF66 Starts out as a nicely paved road running along a massive lava rock bed on its western flanks as it climbs towards Indian Heaven Volcanic Fields.


Eventually the smooth pavement turns to packed dirt road and some muddy potholes.


Some lakes along the way. This area has "Disappearing Lake" which appears some years for only a few short weeks as frozen water trapped in underground lava tubes melts in the spring and floods a large prairie creating a very clear pretty lake.


Some creeks run through the lava fields. The water eddies in bright blue pools along the way.


Signal Cycles dirt road bike. Changed the saddle and bar tape to Brooks Cambium. Digging it for the dirt road rides.


Goose Lake is our turnaround point. Recent days it's been getting lots of visits from fisherman.


Forlorn Lakes Rd (NF 6621) is sloppy but a sweet stretch. Some parts are so potholed, cars can't make it through.

Sultry heat in the morning.

Amazing, Fletcher!

[Matthew Strongin]

Early start and late meetings mean long rides with the crew. 82 miles or 12 beers depending on how you measure.

[SlowPokePete]

Last day of Spring, not much energy but a beautiful day to ride!

I hope you know how lucky you are to be able to ride in such a beautiful place. Cost of living and a whole host of other issues in Cali not withstanding.

And your pictures have to be some of the best here - thank you for sharing them.

3 for 3 this week, coming out of an inconsistent stretch.
Sleeping and eating better, imbibing less, riding more- feels good.
