I think Dave’s touched the high voltage wires a few too many times!

Jonny- the panhandle trip looks likely to be right after the fourth. I’ll let y’all know what the logistics look like and file a ride report upon my return to the coast.

I’ve driven from Lookout Pass to Coeur d’Alene on the interstate many times. Connecting those points via backroad on a bicycle would be sweet. I’ve seen, but have not ridden(yet), some closed down railway grades that are now gravel bikeways that seem to be endless in that part of the world. They even go over big ass trestle bridges. Man, that’d be a good time. I gotta round up Gnome, BGR and Reichel….

Lemme know how it goes.

…ah yes, the question of “dave“…

…cartoon contrarian w/ a pseudo political bent or just a sad ass, sorry little man ???…

…dave’s working on defining the answer every time he addresses a political situation…

John, dave is the resident naysayer to all things Obama. He thinks that if you aren’t actually criticizing or promoting discredited talking points, that you must think he’s the second coming. He’s best mocked or ignored…

We know more about the leader of secretive North Korea than we do about our own president.

What color is the sun on your planet?

Oh, and as to the “crazy ideas about Obama”, nature abhors a vacuum. We know more about the leader of secretive North Korea than we do about our own president.

bgw- I’ll be back down there for sure, may do another trip this summer.

My next jaunt will be the Idaho panhandle. The gorgeous back roads in Pend Orielle county WA are well and truly deserted now that they closed the last mine at Metaline Falls. You see more deer than cars. I want to try lift-assisted MTB–never done it, even when they loaded bikes at my home ski hill–at Schweitzer and Silver Mtn. Plus, a buddy of mine is a “trail marshall” on the Hiawatha Trail, and with clever SAG support it’s like a 70-mile loop starting up near Lookout Pass MT/ID and going practically to Coeur d’Alene. Also, there’s buzz about the Kokopelli in September or something called “white pine rim” or something.

…mikey…glad you had some great california riding…

…once rode from marin, across the golden gate bridge, way down the coast to san gregario beach w/ the intent of jamming up the hill (hwy 84) to skyline blvd (hwy 35) for that beautiful fast winding plunge down off the coast range towards the bay & into palo alto to hook up w/ cycling pals…

…saw the signs to la honda & gave it everything i had to get there in anticipation of recovering on the descent…toasted, bonking, dehydrated when i got there, well hey, whadda ya know…sky londa, not la honda is the top of the fucking ridge…

…bwahaha…dumbshit here still had miles of climbing to do…i was young, stupid n’ gung-ho & only looked at the map briefly before i left home…gritted it out but man, that last part of the climb to sky londa was tough…

…lesson learned…
