While I was exploring the park, I found a sizable rock with two large cupules on top. I am not sure about the purpose of these cupules.
These were shot and made the bike steer heavily. I never knew as I had no prior reference.
58570 Km on the counter now. 3170 kilometers driven in 2022 so far.
This CSI received a pretty heavy make over.

Fork Run in the Allegheny National Forest in Forest County PA Taken while hiking upstream and checking hemlock trees for hemlock wooly adelgid, an insect that has killed much of the hemlock population in the Appalachian Region. It has been confirmed in the ANF and Allegany State Park in New York.
We went to visit a friend's shop and Noah got to drive the fork lift....needless to say he was on cloud 9!

Skeleton Fork-Fern, probably Psilotum nudum, is leafless and flowerless. The bum-shaped lumps are synangia and produce the spores. Como NSW Australia, April 2012.

I've been using a very nice fork jig that has been a real bear to adjust. I decided I wanted a 1-key jig that could be adjusted without having to access the underside. The adjustable sections are keyed in machined slots in the flats. The steerer block fits into a squared cut in the top part of the tube and sits with a machined flat. Skip welded to hold it in place. I'll just tack on a hold-down and she'll be ready to roll.
This post is inserted into the adjustable block when setting the axle to brake bolt hole distance (for caliper brake forks).
I got this idea from Drew Guldalian at Engin Cycles.
A new batch of warming huts, designed to keep ice skaters warm on the cold Assiniboine River trail, have been unveiled at The Forks in downtown Winnipeg.
Officials with The Forks showed off the winners of the 2013 Warming Huts competition, in which architects and artists design shelters for winter enthusiasts skating, walking or skiing on the frozen river.
The contest attracted almost 100 submissions from around the world this year. A jury chose three winning designs:
Hygge House, a joint effort between three Winnipeg design firms.
The Smokehouse by aamodt/plumb architects in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Woolhaus by Myungkweon Park, a landscape architect in New York.
Hygge House is a "reproduction of one of the most cherished symbols of Canadiana — the wilderness cottage," according to the designers.
The cabin-like hut will be a bright yellow colour to help brighten up the winter landscape, they said.
By contrast, The Smokehouse will have a black charred-wood-like exterior. Felt-lined interior walls and a fire pit will encourage a "quiet warm space."
Woolhaus will also use felt to create "an interior environment that is isolated from the intense cold, brightness and noise of the frozen Assiniboine River," according to the designer.
Construction of the warming huts started in early January and, weather permitting, go onto the Assiniboine River trail shortly. They will join eight huts that were built in previous years.
Besides the three competition hut designs, organizers have invited architects from Atelier Big City — a collective of three architects in Montreal — to design a warming hut.
As well, a hut designed by 100 University of Manitoba architecture students will appear on the river. Weave Wave will knit 100 pieces of material together into a "dynamic multi-textured hut."
With the lower plate cut to fit around the fork blades (but not yet curved -- I need to fabricate a die because I'm /sure/ that trying to hand-curve it will end up with the curves all erratic.)
~50mm between the blades, and it's gonna lose a few mm to curvature, so at least 46mm, which will be /barely/ enough to fit a 40mm tire + fender (the machine is gonna be riding on Confreries, but I want room for flat magnets & the 40mm G-One's I've got lying around.) The crown pieces are ~120 grams right now, and I'll lose a few when I shape the plates, then gain them right back with the weight of brass & reinforcements. Alas, I will not get the fork weight under 500 grams, but I should be able to do better than 800.
One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
Perspective is reality.
