To Index…With Friction Shifting! (2015-11-21)

On a chilly morning only a week after two major storms and floods, I headed into the Skykomish River Valley. In the end, my only problem was the saddle position, which was too low and far back.

Don't go Into the Mountains During a Storm (2015-11-14,15)

My plan on this ride was to go off-road to avoid the drone of wet car tires. I ended up with more than I had gambled for with a flood warning and wind advisory, with the worst flooding taking place precisely where I was headed. After getting banged up a few times, I visited a friend. The latter half of my ride was an exercise in hypothermia, and I gave up after my worst fall. I phoned in a ride from my parents, then rode home the next morning after recuperating.
