Breaking in a 'New' Bike (2014-12-20)

While riding in some horrible rain, I spent a lot of time in the first half adjusting the saddle of this bike until it was perfect. The rain also did a great job of breaking in this Brooks Swift.

This bike is actually used, but half of it is now either new, new old stock, or used from other sources.

Since it was pouring down rain all day, I didn't get to take too many photos. Some of the below albums represent the areas through which I've ridden, though.

This ride was a slightly longer version of a previous ride I was using to test out another bike for touring. This one worked out far better, of course.

It's been a very long time, but here's the stuff I just grabbed. I had to update my script since Nicosound is gone.

Checking out Foothils Trail 'Missing Link' (2014-11-08)

After viewing a blog post about this after having bemoaned the lack of connectivity despite its being advertised, I finally checked it out myself.

Pierce County hopes to connect it all up once they get the funding.

Snohomish Bowtie (2014-10-18)

A fairly mundane ride centered around the city of Snohomish.

Salt Lake City (2014-10-10, 11, 12)

Snapped a bunch of photos while visiting a friend. We walked quite a bit.

NOTE: My GPS was not functioning on this trip, so I was only able to approximate locations on some of the photos after the fact.

This is mainly just a gathering of tweets from the trip.
