Construction work to reinstate double track on the 5.25 mile section of the South Wales Main Line from Cockett West through Gowerton, Swansea to Duffryn West, Carmarthenshire including the provision of a new footbridge, a new up line and a new up Platform 2 at the station (to the right of the picture) was completed on 8th April 2013.
Photo taken from the new footbridge on 24th May 2013.
Mountain biking the Teocalli Ridge Trail southeast of Crested Butte, Colorado. This 10 mile loop has a stout climb on doubletrack and singletrack through meadows and pine forests below the namesake peak. The final climb along the ridgeline is followed by a fast steep descent.

a eastbound up stack pokes along the doubletrack at yermo, ca. awaiting the arrival of 2 then its haul ass to vegas.
Alta Via del Sale. In torrential downpour. For the whole day from 9 am to nightfall.
It was Alps Divide Day two for me. This weather was forecasted, but the extend and intensity was extraordinary. And itās not me saying this. This came from quite a lot of very experienced people. Even people living in the UK and in Scotland and who have participated in events like Silkroad Mountain Race. E.g. both @Jennytough and @nielcopeland said this rain had broken the scale.
And wow - I literally rode through rivers running across the trails. At times just one side, at times on both sides. And it was chunky. As usual, the photos donāt do the real roughness of the surface justice. It was no mellow riding. It wouldnāt have even on good gravel surface as I did 3.400 meters of climbing on that day. But indeed it was a constant search for rideable lines over the chunky trails. Right through the middle of the streams running down the trails or next to it.
As long as I was moving and moving upwards the temperature werenāt that much of a problem. But for the descending parts the wet body had few reserves. Still not at the halfway mark, after quite a bit of a descending part and still 20 km from the next rifugio (i.e. more than 2 hours away) I was shivering so hard once stopped. Luckily I found a small opportunity to pull out my puffy jacket under a bit of shelter and put in on under my rain jacket. It took a while to stop shivering after staring to move again, but I finally could comfortably āswimā all the rest of the Via Sale. It took me until well after dusk, when the rain finally subsided a little above Tende but gave way to dense and wet fog.
This was quite the experience.

I rode up to Cathedral Park in St Johns for this week's coffee outside. From there I headed south to the Portland Farmers Market to get my breakfast burrito from Enchanted Sun.
As always I took a mildly circuitous route through alleys ā some paved and some unpaved doubletrack. I rode some singletrack, sort of, through former industrial areas and even passed through a Superfund site.
I have this ride up on Ride with GPS: ridewithgps.com/trips/94537423

I evidently don't get down here often enough as I managed to backlight an eastbound train. When standing in the shadow of the bluff it slipped my mind that I came here in the past for afternoon westbounds since the tracks bend southwest.
With the IC&E busy switching at Marquette we crossed over to Wisconsin for a few BNSFs around Lynxville. October 9, 2011.
