Sometimes It’s OK to Just Sit
I had bigger plans for the weekend—longer rides, some exploring of new areas. But who knows what I’ll actually end up doing today.

A Quick Weekend at Organ Pipe
It was supposed to be raining on the Southern California coast, and pretty cold in Joshua Tree and other desert locales in southern California. I also couldn’t find too much in the way of campsites to reserve, but we had a three day weekend and we were determined to use it. A while ago, I […]
