Some visual stimulus from my commute to and from work ove rthe last couple of weeks. I did drive the VW in today since it is going to rain , I'm a wuss.
Turning over that massive 46T ring on the CX bike. ;)
I do have the joy of riding about 800 meters of dirt/pea gravel each when I ride the CX bike. This is the view on the way home each day.
When I do ride the dirt trail, it goes across this old trolley bridge that was built back in 1916. Hey look, horses right here in town.
Slight view of the river through the trees on the way home Tuesday afternoon.
Sherwood park is now the widest bike trail in town. All of the houses down here were affected by the floods this summer. It does look as though a couple of them may still be occupied.
Here is a view of the trolley bridge from the road that goes underneath of it. Cool bridge but, you have to miss out on the off-road to actually see it. :(
Here's Rhea showing off her honorary PRC position. She's a ham for the camera.
In other news, I have been in search of a new set of golf clubs for a couple of weeks now. We made it out to one of the local retailers earlier this week and foundd some that interested me but, they were so busy that getting help would have taken longer than desired so we ended up leaving. Then, on Tuesday night after the group ride Amy surprised me with an early Anniversary present by getting me those same clubs, graphite shafts and all. Too cool. I did of course spend about 30 minutes in the back yard last night hitting wiffle balls back and forth. So far the clubs are good, they hit nice and straight. We'll see how they do with real golf balls sometime in the next few days.
