Spent most of August in Nankan. Acquired a new MTB. Loving this bike.
Photos from July 2021 – we spent almost the entire month at my wife’s folks’ place. It was a great 3 weeks, and it was really hot and humid. I don’t think it really rained once while we were there. I got in some solid…
A small child crashed hard. Her chin hit the asphalt and blood went everywhere. Her little bicycle became intertwined with her left leg and she was unable to get up. I saw this all happen from about 200 meters away as I rode towards the…
Ok, story-time I drove an untrustworthy car a good 1500 km, even now I am not sure if the car is stolen property or just a ghosted machine. It broke down, which sucked but was able to fix it during the trip. My wife is…

Great weather. I got in a great month on the bike 75 hours/1500km. Overall fitness and honest fun level while riding are on the up and up! My left leg is not rotting, it is functioning – about 1 year since the DVT funk. It…
