Long time readers will remember Nitwit bridge and trail. We constructed that trail and bridge to make it easy to avoid walking a dangerous country road where people drive much too fast. It's a trail that leads up to another area of our property and out roads that have safe sidewalks for our local hikes […]
"Big Boy, today it looks like we're hiking all Ohlone!" "Nonsense, Principessa! We have our chaperon!"
"Princess, why is Mom so darn whiny and slow? She's got a total handicap with those big wheels. Geesh." "Big boy, your guess is as good as mine. She looks totally healthy and fine to me." Lyme Disease is nothing if not deceptive and a complete mind-f*ck.

This month's masthead was inspired by this song from The Boss. As much as I'd like to bare my Sylvia Plath side, Mr. Wild Dingo would be mortified if I went with my original idea theme, Paint it Black. Hang on, Internet, you'll understand in a minute. Mr. Wild Dingo's nick name while in the […]
I went to a wedding this weekend that had bicyclists as 90% of the guest list. "What is this Bikejoring thing you're doing," asked a friend of mine who'd seen me post a few photos on Facebook. If you told me 10 years ago I'd hook up dogs to my mountain bike to pull me, […]
