Posted on March 4, 2017 by ehurst

This time I started where I left off from the last ride, and resumed following the shore road. While it was still muddy from the previous rains, some heavy vehicles really stirred things up. Then it dried. Hard. I had … Continue reading →

Draper: Better Trails

Posted on March 1, 2017 by ehurst

“Better” is a relative term here. I went back to finish the trail I rode partially way back before the bike crash. It’s just about passable in a vehicle with a decent clearance. As you can see in the first … Continue reading →

The temperatures were just about 60°F (16C) and rising, stiff southerly breeze and partly cloudy when I left the apartment. Skies cleared during the ride. I headed out to Draper Lake on the Post Road corridor and just chugged against … Continue reading →

Fitness Test: Giant Loop

Posted on February 6, 2017 by ehurst

My pictures didn’t turn out at all, so you’ll just have to use your imagination. Tomorrow is my annual checkup at the VA. I wasn’t too worried about the doctor yapping at me about much of anything. Still, but I … Continue reading →

Cycling: Little More Poking Draper

Posted on January 31, 2017 by ehurst

It was pretty warm by the time I got out on my bike — 70°F (21C). Somehow I knew this wouldn’t be much of an adventure, and I didn’t run across a single place that called my name. Still, I … Continue reading →

Cycling: Another Draper Adventure

Posted on January 28, 2017 by ehurst

The other day, when I was revisiting the canyon (near “A” on the map), the trail leading farther called my name. After a few cold days, I knew where I wanted to go today. It still required sweat pants and … Continue reading →

Photography: Revisiting the Canyon

Posted on January 23, 2017 by ehurst
