    Pentagenarians & Beyond: May 3, 2026

    Cathy we are pretty particular about where and when we ride roads these days. people are basically jerks. they always have been. they are less polite than ever. we ride early, usually sunday morning, and only a few select rides. there are only a few roads we are on briefly that have...

    we did another mt bike this morning. first drove to the great big road washout to see if it was possible to get around and if we actually wanted to do that. it is HUGE, a giant gaping hole. . supposedly about 130 feet across and 70 feet deep. the stream goes a long way back up the hill...

    we rode our regular trail this morning, and surprise, it was being partly resurfaced. it is asphalt but tree roots over time crack the asphalt after raising it into long ridges. got much worse last year, so bad that they sawed off the tops of some ridges so at least it was flat. this...

    https://paria.com/tours-shuttles/ is the guide service we used. their web site has several tours and has fabulous pictures. we took the white pocket tour which was a full day. a big chunk is drive time. you would not want to drive this yourself in your own vehicle. Really. if you...

    we did a park walk this morning for 1 hr 20 minutes and i did my usual therapy work. hoping all things go well for you and your daughter Carolyn. She is probably very tired regardless. hospitals are no place to get any sleep and being at home in your own bedroom and bathroom are a huge...
