Rode from Bordeaux to the coast yesterday, then back again today. Very good bike paths here, well maintained & they're building more.

Two loaded bikes on a dam overlooking a lake.

Sleeping bag on the ground in a forest with a flock of turkeys in the background.

Spent the past 3 days riding around the Lost Sierra, between the California towns of Portola, Taylorsville and Quincy. Lovely country, fun roads and trails, with charming towns for resupply.

Trail emerging from the trees into sunlight.

First rain showers of the season during today's ride. #napacounty #mtb

@ifixcoinops I accidentally crimped the ball of my thumb in the wire strippers of one of those once and can no longer look at them without wincing.

Taste of Autumn on my ride today. #truckee #mtb

@colo_lee Thanks, Lee! It felt great to be out there. I was in Colorado a couple of weeks ago and you have no shortage of nice places there.

Some other kind of red berries on a bush.

Rode the Donner Lake Rim Trail up to Summit Lake today.

@mikeolson Is this related to the fact that the habanero salsa bottle always has a huge mouth while the jalapeno's is tiny?

@mikeolson Brage is awesome. Have you seen this kid? https://www.pinkbike.com/news/video-10-year-old-wes-lukens-continues-to-impress-in-launch.html

@mikeolson My friends at Index did alright.

Turntable with a few LPs strewn about.

It picked up a turntable at a rummage sale yesterday. Listening to my old vinyl for the first time in 25 years. Sounds great!

@mikeolson Where does making ice cream with liquid nitrogen fit in?

@mikeolson Thanks! I'm not yet convinced 36" wheels are in my future, but 32" wheels probably are. Various rim, tire & frame companies have been teasing them this year. I'm trying to avoid too much custom, non-standard stuff in my bikes these days, for parts availability and resale/gifting […]

@mikeolson So many options! Could do it with plonker words alone. https://www.powerthesaurus.org/penis/synonyms

Man riding a bike across a narrow dam top.

The dam crossing there was also entertaining.

@mikeolson Will do. He said he saw you at the WCC, complimenting your bike before he recognized you!

Video version for those who have time.

Bike beneath a spillway with snowy peaks behind.

Spent the last few nights bikepacking in the Sierras with my brother, crossing between the Truckee and Yuba river drainages. We visited about a dozen lakes, mostly reservoirs built in the 19th century. They sure liked building dams then! The "trail" here at Sawmill Lake crossed beneath the spillway.

@mikeolson Looks like "diamond hands", but that seems unlikely...
