In which snows become rains garnished with crisp, misty mornings that warm to wide open, deep blue skies and the fluttering swoops of butterflies.

Deacon,
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed every photo. Nature is truly a gift and exploring by bicycle must be the most efficient and perfect way to wander. I couldn't help but admire your two-finger coffee cup. What tire pressure do you use when riding trails like these?

The mud chain flower was the prettiest, it's my state plant. Very very nice.

Thanks, lads! Doug, my tires are tubed 2.8" Nobby Niks (pretty supple). I inflate the rear to 20 lbs and ride till it needs more.
With abandon,

Once again, best photos on the list -- and believe me, there are so very many wonderful photos posted by so many riders on this list.
"Mud chains"? Can we get a distance shot?

Thank you, Patrick. They are a joy to take.
If you zoom in on the tires of the logging beastie, you can see them. Here is a further back close up.

Patrick, your pictures and places are a great respite to me from troubles and the troubling. I feel like I am a bit stronger in my tasks by the images from your efforts.

I’m truly envious of the high country. Curious what jacket it is you have? I’m seeking an anorak style for riding as well.

Andrew, I love my jacket! Breathable cotton ventile with a cotton analogy lining that pushes moisture, vapor and liquid, out via capilary action, same as fur on an animal does. It is by Hilltrek in Scotland. This is the exact one: https://hilltrek.co.uk/clothing/smocks/foinaven-smock/
They offer other smocks (anoraks). Double ventile (DV) is just as waterproof as the cotton analogy, but doesn't remove moisture as actively. THey also have hybrids (double at shoulders, maybe sleeves?), or single (good for a 20 minute light shower, lighter weight)

They aren't cheep, but they are also the last jackets I'll buy. To me, anything else I've tried has been a waste of money.
