I hope that’s not a scratch-n-sniff …but I didn’t read the fine-print on the latest phone update.

I haven’t posted in ages. Have been riding, just not doing much as far as social media is concerned. Except to try and keep as accurately up to date with our “elected” fuckery here in the States.
Had to spend the day over in Deming, NM. We use a veterinarian there and the puppy had her spay appointment. Rather than spend 5 hours driving there and back twice (324 miles or 521 km), I took the day off and rode from the Spring Canyon Recreation Area to a 2-track gravel road along the eastern base of the Florida Mountains.
20 miles (32 km) and 2050’ (623 m) of climbing. And you can see a long damn way out here, even with the haze we had yesterday.

Impressive pictures. I can almost feel the heat.
I can almost see Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote!

Welcome back, that looks great. If you need some rain, let us know and we’ll send some over as we’ve got more than we need.

Please send rain. Are there perhaps weekly, monthly, or annual subscriptions available?

Thank God it’s not hot yet. This time of year is about perfect for riding. Yesterday’s high was 64F (~18C).
We've got an unseasonably 12c today , positively balmy. I'm wishing you some Scottish rain clouds and clouds of Midgies just for you. Can't have one without the other I'm afraid.

Yeah, that would be bad here. Like, REALLY bad.
I can almost see Forest Gump and the landing spot for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Big 62km ride around Canberra today on the old bike. Mostly round the lake, but also took in some other parts of Canberra.
Very peaceful to come across wildlife.
Lunch at Kingston.
Queen Elizabeth Island
Just a very serene and peaceful ride.

I must concur with @The Hodge, a great day out. Good that Phil and Dave could join us also. It’s been a few weeks since I was out in the trails. Throughly enjoyed the craic. Thanks for the apres’ Guinness Phill 
Just trying to look windswept & interesting....he was on the windy side of the " shelter " though

A short 20km ride this morning to test out the rebuilt motor and check out some trails.
Crews are going to start road repairs soon.
A good cedar stringer once I cut it.
Had a good laugh
at my attention to detail.
It’s gonna stay like that. Nothing to see here.

Gave the drivetrain a proper clean with foaming drivetrain cleaner and a cassette cleaning brush.
It was making a god-awful racket and I couldn’t work out why.
Now I know.

Mine doesn't stay clean for long but it's nice to see it sparkling occasionally.
Yeah mine was filthy and full of sandy grime
I was out Wednesday but it wasn't that dirty just cleaned and lubed chain. I bought some fancy expensive muck off degreaser it's nearly done already. Not sure if it's really worth it a bucket of soapy water would take longer and probably do the same.
