This morning was cold and shock, foggy. Well, what is a poor boy to do but go ride in it? I could barely see across the street. As I neared the river trail it got even more dense (makes sense). Cars stopped passing me; I almost ran a stop sign because I couldn’t see it. …. [Continue reading] I am once again hammering away at TopoFusion trying to find trails in aerial photographs (automatically). This has been an ongoing project that receives concentrated bursts of effort about once a year (hmm, couldn’t be due to a conference deadline, could it?). Things are progressing, if slowly. I do tire easily of so much programming. 
Dark red clouds frame the Santa Cruz river valley. Paula left around 6am for Bisbee. I was up slightly later, feeling tired and not of epic quality. But I was very excited to get down to the Santa Ritas and ride with Lee. The route we had planned had too many good qualities. A …. [Continue reading] 
The sun sets over the Rincon Valley. Mark, Steve and I finished flagging out ~2 miles of trail for Sunday’s trail building party. We met at 1pm and did not finish until near dark (see above shot). It turned out to be a bit of a long day after Steve’s truck got …. [Continue reading] My allergies on evening rides are still not being very kind. It was tolerable today, but sneezing while riding is generally a bad sign. I watched the shadows grow on Pontotoc Ridge as I climbed towards the “Dick McGee” trailhead. I made it to the top of the switchbacks just in time to watch the …. [Continue reading] Despite the epic nature of the weekend, I’m feeling recovered and well. I wasn’t sure rolling out the door, but after a few minutes the groginess of the morning wore off. I met Glick at the UofA campus, then we headed for TMP. Sentinel Ridge is always a treat, and we had a nice pace …. [Continue reading] I thought I had caught my last glimpse of fall colors last weekend in Leadville. Fall is at its end in central Colorado, but in the sky islands of southern Arizona it is currently erupting with color. This summer’s Nuttal and Gibson fires have effectively shut down the entire north side of the mountain and …. [Continue reading] Technical mayhem continued this morning on the John Krein (hmm) trail. I found the cooler morning much more pleasant than last night’s allergy induced malaise. I had a nice ride through campus, up Sentinel Ridge and through the Starr Pass basin. My objective was clear (John Krein), so I laid in a direct course. The …. [Continue reading] [align=center][img]http://www.topofusion.com/images/subsun.jpg[/img] Sunset on Suburban Assault[/align] I am more than ready for it to cool down. Sure, it is not that hot and the mornings are beautiful, but it seems that nothing is changing allergy-wise. I felt OK last night for about 20 minutes. For the rest of the ride my nose dripped and my head …. [Continue reading] Leadville 35 degrees, snow, golden aspens and endless granny gear climbing. Leadville. This much is certain: I’m going back, though not until next summer. The adventure started at the airport. I checked my flight online (Frontier) before I left my house. It said estimated departure time: 11:45am, which I took to mean everything was …. [Continue reading] |
