wknd...

saturday: headed out at 6, ran into the saturday gravel group & joined them down to cortland. they stopped & i pushed on circumnavigating clatonia & wilber before hotfooting it back to lincoln. i had chores to do.  below: sw 86 & bennet rd. my best guess is this used to be a mmr then they closed it down?  in iowa they would probably call it a c rd. i rode it once from the other direction, very wooly.  i had multiple goat heads in my tires that day, rather than pull them out i hammered it back to lincoln before my tires went flat.  somehow i made it...

sunday: we got a good rainstorm saturday night & i think they got even more up by BO.  area 7 was way to greasy to ride in the morn so we headed out on some dub-g.  never noticed this sign before.  this has g-dub potential...

 soft, damp gravel into a stiff nw on 29er's with low tire pressure is a lot of work, need more air...

 rack repair...

sunday eve:  back at BO7, this time with the family.  solar eclipse time.  below: shilo hears the call of the wild, actually it was coyotes but she was definitely tuned in...

eclipse was sweet.  we stayed from first contact at 7:23 until just past maximum at 8:26.  my homemade solar filter got a b-, need a few mods before the venus transit in a couple of weeks...
