When I was little ..... being a train driver seemed such a glamorous job

Yeah the trail degrades that much quicker but now there is lesser of a chance of a joint being rolled on course.

A jab at Phone Bashers...for those in the know.

"You're in the wrong parking lot!" he yelled, two seconds before he found himself in the wrong parking lot too.

Interesting juxtaposition. What affected one that didn't affect the other? Did the one try to grow too fast and had undeveloped roots? Are the conditions that different on one side of the road?

This is the former east bridge abutment for the LE&P flyover that used to exist in Brady Lake, Ohio. It carried the LE&P's westbound mainline track over the C&P (now the NS Cleveland Line - the doubletrack main in the foreground) and joined the LE&P's eastbound mainline track (the track at right going uphill). This trestle was removed in the 1990s as a part of Conrail's doublestack clearance project.

My first time here, and it's all doubletrack exactly like this. It made for some fast and boring riding. The Lucky Stone Loop was the only trail that wasn't "groomed".

Rail tracks at countryside in Kyoto, Japan. Rail transport in Japan is a major means of passenger transport.

I rode my Epic on the N. Fork Asotin Creek trail today. I suffered 2 flat tires, so I don't know how much further the trail continues, but I was able to travel along 8 miles of trail, comprised of smooth fast doubletrack, smooth singletrack, and some rocky knarly bits. This is a nice trail, aside from its tire-eating habits.

 

During those eight miles, Scott and I saw birds, we saw dog-like tracks in snow and we saw some pretty awesome scenery. Unlike fly flipper, we saw no bighorns on the trail today. That's OK though, we saw two rams on the road on the way in, so we got our fix.

Just before setting out this morning on a road ride, Rudy mentioned he had purchased some materials to put together a raft and was going to spend some time in the afternoon putting it in place. 4 hours on the bikes, a quick lunch and then we were cutting wood and styrofoam for a light raft.

 

5 years of talking about it and in only 3 hours we had a raft and a line across. This gives us another loop on the mtn bikes...

There wouldnt be many laps in 2023 on either groomer or skis...

Heard this Guy get blocks from the A&S Yardmaster and knew Doubletrack Jct. would look good.We have an A&S crew aboard a northbound UP manifest running north on the A&S.They will take this train to Mitchell ILL and tie it down, a UP crew will take over later.

The aforementioned doubletrack led us to some speedy dirt road descents.
