having fun


Last weekend, under the auspices of Team Bacon Strip, I rode a bike tour with Trent, Amanda, Mark, Vanessa and Steve.

California Trail

It was rad! Mark wrote up part one over @ the Strip, Check it out.

Picking a route

Originally uploaded by i am indisposed

On the drive down we saw a dead cow @ the start of the 70 MPH in Washoe Valley, we saw a large dead dog on the side of Carson St just past the RR museum, we saw a dead deer near Bridgeport and a dead fox near Mono, 11 cyclists (alive and riding) on 395 between here and Tom’s Place, CA. I hope none of the bikers got the whoopass that was being handed out to the animal kingdom. There was a party making a career out of the North Arete when we descended Bear Creek Spire. I hope they had either bivy gear or good lights, or both because Cox Couloir is nothing to sniff @ in daylight.

They moved the car that had hit the cow before they moved the cow. Perhaps the car drove off. Perhaps not. I suppose the economic value of roadkillcow precludes the necessity for a special tow truck attachment. How DO you move 2000 pounds of inanimate beef on-the-hoof?
