Izabella's 1st B-Day/ Targhetto Ride/ Free Bus Rides

Saturday was Izabellas 1st birthday and we had a blast:) Tons of new clothes and toys were wrapped, only to be unwrapped by us as Izzy opened a toy first and wanted nothing too do with anything else:) More photos on me flickr which is on thee side bar:)


MMMMmmmmm this stuff is purdy good, Izzy ate most of thee frosting and a little cake:)

circled by gifts:)

Sunday found Teri and I heading from the house over to Targhetto. We hadn't ridden the trail together for a long time...and Sunday was a perfect day to ride early:) Ran into a few (legal) users which was a pleasant surprise. 2 joggers and 2 riders one being John Newell. The south side of the trail is in purdy good shape....most definitely changed in its route as usual with the high waters though:) You then pop out onto the new black label of thee Trestle to Trestle trail and head to the next piece of thee Sycamore/Targhetto puzzle. This middle piece is in need of some walking love. Sticks and logs litter the inner piece to where the trail is damn near invisible...still ridable though as Teri and I had no problems....just needs a group of mates to love it for 30 minutes or so. This piece also holds the ONLY vehicle on the trail that is visable:) That is awesome....they even removed the old 40's ford from behind the quary....that I was a little disappointed in as I never got a photo....it just seem to belong. Rest of the trail is all good to go....thee tunnel is in, now awaiting to be black topped for our riding pleasures:) I hope we don't get too much rain tomorrow....damn it every time we want to ride Targhetto on the Taco Ride it fucking rains:( Here are a few photos, once again many more on me flickr.


a sad sight indeed. this is a shot of all the crap under the University bridge right off the Trestle to Trestle trail.....I'm sending a photo to Richard Brown this morning.

uh, buddy,

I hate to break it to you, but that car is in a lake, not on the trail...

unless you guys are just that hard core...

I guess I stand corrected...
