I ...Hi Caroline, thanks for reading and commenting. I agree there are a lot of words here. I actually recently went back and began a retrospect project for this blog. I just pulled out what I consider my best blog posts, and those alone rack up 130,000 words. This whole blog has to be in the many millions. Yikes. But thanks again for reading. I just checked out your blog and drooled a little at the ski photos. I will have to read further myself.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-12314086564339152402012-02-08T16:21:19.549-07:002012-02-08T16:21:19.549-07:00Wow!!! 3 months later I came across my own comment...Wow!!! 3 months later I came across my own comment!

I came across where you said people only look at the picture and don't want to read more than 140 characters... I thought I would let you know the reason I was not reading and just scrolling is that I have started reading your blog from the beginning. Yes, way back all the way back. It has been very entertaining for the last month. I am currently in July of 2008. It is really interesting to read about how you are progressing as a cyclist and watch your photography change with your experiences.

No. Blogs are way more interesting. There's something so comforting (and even addicting!) about a good blog that's updated on a regular basis.

It's one of my fave trails - the feeling that one dives into the valley is pretty cool. Shortly after this section Black Mountain trail turns into a super sweet smooth singletrack - awesome downhill running. <br /><br />Unfortunately all of Rancho is off-limit for bikes ... like so many parks around here.Beatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-33048420779088611582011-11-04T06:07:32.744-06:002011-11-04T06:07:32.744-06:00A big happy birthday Artic Glass!

I rode up Stevens Creek Cyn yesterday, and instead of going up the evil Indian Springs rd, I went past it and took Bella Vista singletrack to the top...that was SWEET, and was WAY fun on the way back)! My mt bike book doesn't mention that awesome piece of trail. I went all the way to the winery...just in case I might perchance run into some looney woman riding a Fatback or a SS. <br /><br />Be safe and kick some ASS out there in the desert! And stay warm...brrr..it got kind'a nasty today (by California standards I mean).MattChttp://inane-asylum2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-40389361408993160582011-11-03T18:22:10.909-06:002011-11-03T18:22:10.909-06:00Happy Blogiversary.
