solo singletrack

Irulan,

Beautiful pictures . . . I wish I could take nice pics like these.

the beauty of digital is that you can just delete the crappy ones.
One hint, is that for landscapes use the 1/3-2/3 rule... One third sky, two thrids land, or vice versa

Forgot to mention this . . . our son goes to EWU in Cheney. Joe and I were thinking about mountain biking over there is fall when we take him back to his dorm in September. Any suggestions for good places to ride? Thanks!

Lots of nice stuff right in town. This ride is one of the local in town loops. Nothing like devils gulch but it's plenty nice.

Irulan, thanks for the photos!!! This may sound silly, but looking at them, I could smell the mountain air!! I almost teared up, they made me pine for my mountain home, though it's still snowing/cold there in Colorado.

I lived in Bellingham/Skagit region for 5 years. Spent halves of 4 years working at Ross Lake Resort on Hwy. 20.

Irulan,

Forgot to mention that your photos remind me of Missoula, Montana. Joe and I went to Missoula last summer to visit his family and we rode at Rattle Snake Recreation (state park) and it looks very very similar. Nice smooth winding trails and the smell of ponderosa pines ..... mmmmmm heaven. I told Joe we need to ride there again when we go home to visit his family. Just beautiful! And I will bring a camera next time.

I"m working on a non-powerline version of the view pic. That is a LOT of clone stamping in photoshop.

Susan, just let me know when you're going to be around and I will either line you out or give you a tour.

Went back up there again today, solo. It's so awesome that every solo ride I've been on I've seen other solo women out, mainly hiking. Tells me I live in a good place.
