Mountain bikers love singletrack. Sometimes it seems as though narrow, twisty trails are all we ever talk or think about… that and bikes.

I couldn’t bring myself to the gym again last evening despite the rain, so I brought my kayak to the brook, instead.

So, my boy Evan broke his first bone last weekend.

I’m so proud.

I knew that such a tool as "map my ride" must exist somewhere, and I just now found it while poking around on the excellent Souhegan Cycleworks website (I like how they rate local hills!).

I've always liked hiking alone, but the social aspects of group hiking recently have been brought to my attention (thanks, Cathy!). In short, group hikes might be a good way to meet single women (or your gender of choice), especially the active, outdoorsy type.

I like trains just fine, but I like bicycles even better, and the Nashua River Rail Trail (paved) and the Mason Rail Trail (unpaved) are two of my favorite places to ride a bicycle. Maybe someday they will be connected, but don't count on it.

I may be lazy, but not so lazy as it looks... I had a couple of posts since the last, but they vanished promptly after publications, the victim of some sort of computer screw up. One was about National Trails day... it's coming up this Saturday. The other was about some local mountain bike races last weekend. I was too busy and too PO'd about it to reconstruct them.

Mountain biking races turn out to be relatively scarce, compared with foot races... there was one in particular that tempted me (the VT50) but it filled up less than one day after registration opened... better luck next year, I guess!
