Three months after the fires, I finally took a break from work, disaster management, and re-establishing domestic infrastructure. I flew up the Owens Valley to Lone Pine, and and spent last weekend walking in the desert, biking in the foothills, and gazing at the stars.

Framed by trees, a long snow-capped mountain range is lit by sunrise light below a blue sky
Rocky jagged hills are sunlit under a mostly blue skies. A road curves between them. Taller mountains stand in the distance

A superb solo Sunday 50km ride on the Grav-i-Ti. Picked up the Peak Forest canal, near home, all the way to Disley. Then onto the hard, climby tracks around Lyme Park before heading back through Chadkirk, then back onto the canal at Romiley and head home. Lots of wildlife, including a beautiful pair of Mandarin ducks. This Mother's Day lark is easy. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #NorthRoadCycles #GraviTi #BikeTooter #BikeToot #PeakForestCanal #LymePark #MandarinDucks #gravel #GravelBike
This image shows a male and female Mandarin duck swimming in a body of water, with tall grasses in the background. The male is brightly colored with orange and purple plumage, while the female is more subdued in gray and brown. The water reflects their images, and the grasses provide a natural backdrop.
This image shows a bicycle leaning against a "Deer sanctuary No entry" sign in a wide, open landscape. The bike is a gravel bike with a titanium frame. The sign is in the foreground, and the landscape stretches out to a distant horizon with a cloudy sky. The ground is a mix of green grass and brown patches, suggesting a moorland or hilltop setting. In the distance, a small building is visible.

This image shows a bicycle leaning against a tree on the left side of a dirt path that stretches into the distance through a wooded area. The bike is a gravel bike with a titanium frame, and the path is surrounded by tall, thin trees with budding leaves. The sky is overcast, and the overall scene suggests a peaceful, outdoor setting.

Safe Bike Commuting Tip

Get an brightly colored pool swim noodle and mount it on your rear rack or under your seat with a bungee cord or something.

You will not believe how deferential cars and drivers will become. Nobody will yell at you. Nobody will chase you. They will give you the lane without you having to put your body in it.

It’s like magic!

The perpendicularly mounted pool noodle creates a visual representation of your lane, a bubble of safety if you will. It will also remind them that you are safety conscious and vulnerable.

I have ridden like this for over 10 years now and I would never go back. It may look ridiculous, but I’m much safer and the only comments I get from drivers is, “That’s so clever! I love it!”

I went for a spring bike ride in the Grizedale Forest yesterday, and had the place nearly to myself.

I've been dying to go for a longer (for me, that means longer than about 15km) ride for weeks. We have an important multi use path that connects the valley with a bunch of higher elevation neighborhoods that's been closed during the week for a couple of months due to major erosion-proofing work they're doing. But, it being Sunday, it was open and useable.

I managed to get 30km in today, and although the weather was due to get weird it fortunately held off until I was finished. It's been pretty cool lately, but I'm hoping to be riding more consistently soon. (It was all of 4C when I started, better than the -2 when I woke up)

A pretty funky and comfortable 3-wheeled ride, the Terratrike EVO.
A non-threatening sky, some cloud but a lot of blue overlooking a few neighborhood houses.
