Thankful...
 
...for great weather, fun trails and enough time to slip a two hourish point-to-point in before the turkey sacrifice.

Ten minutes into the 50 minute first climb.


Brutal weather.


Into the oaks and pines, preparing for the redwoods ahead.

Nice; thanks for the inspiration. Son and his bride are home this weekend, so an outing is in the works. 26 degrees at Noon is not much of a motivator though.

I am thankful I don't live in a place with such beautiful weather that makes mountain biking so enjoyable.

Thankful for this free trip to Hawaii courtesy of work, just wish I could partake in some of the excellent trails I hear about here. :/ http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2109/...42c414.jpg?v=0

Nothing makes Thanksgiving dinner taste better than a fat ride before-hand.

Nice pics.

BFG 11-23-07 08:38 PM

Whats with the need to quote all the pictures?
Anyway.

Nice pics Pete, weather is similiar here too, if not a bit hotter. Its great for riding - ive even taken up XC :O
So pics of that kid have been floating around for a while. Is there a Pete Fagerlin the Second?

santiago 11-23-07 08:44 PM

I think there are 4 or 5 of those kids. Pete has a pic of his brood working on that very bike.

I rode this morning before work...it was 12 degrees. With a windchill calc. it was -28.

I still broke a sweat. I'm fat.

streetlightpoet 11-24-07 12:41 AM

not surprising, I've sweated biking a mile to work when it was -10 (-40 w/ windchill.) A sweaty core with numb hands/feet is one of the weirdest sensations I've ever experienced.

never 11-24-07 10:36 AM

Nevermind, just checked the picture properties...it is around here.
