the frontier

well since last time i updated not a whole lot has happened. allthough my family had a garage sale, my mom had some stuff priced ridicoulusly low, i marked it up and kept the profits. i made $43 wahoo.

yesterday i planned on going on a 3 hour ride, i wanted to ride some rds that i dont often. i went out aways but then was feeling great and i just kept going. and missed my turn. so i just kept going because eventually i would find a turn to take, so i basically went 2 hours north of home. i was way the heck out there. the frontier basically. no cell phone service for at least 50% of the ride. there were long
stretchs of 20 minutes or a bit more when i saw no cars. only a house or two every few miles. no side roads no nothing. the frontier i tell ya. but the road was really really nice. ill have to do it again someday. eventually i found out where i was. 24 miles straight inland from the lake. so i road to it and then it was another 20 back home. so all in all it was a 132 km ride. and i felt good almost the whole time. i just got really thirsty for a bit.

today my dad made me go try out the new bike path that is up the shore a bit. it was actually not bad. i think it was one of the few bike paths i need to use brakes on. it was a nice change from the usual rails to trails kinda thing.

tomorrow it is supposed to be windy. 2 to 4 foots waves on the lake. im going to go sailing.

oh i forgot. i have some nice wave pictures. there were decent size the other day.

the rock in the center is a good 7 or 8 feet abover the water

big spray

for reference, this guy was standing on the rock picture above this one.

smaller but at night!
