From Saturday’s ride—second ride on the new bike. 6 seconds faster than my best time on this 0.3 mile section without a lot of effort. Partly because of the moisture on the sandy trails (the darker brown is sand with some real dirt), but damn this bike feels good! #mtb #mtblife #mountainbiking

Oktoberfest 1987. There is photographic evidence of the first kiss(es), but I'm forbidden to share. @melaniearmstrong.bsky.social 😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgiG...

More from the valley floor. 18 miles and only ~300 feet of elevation change. A perfect Sunday drive! 😊 #mtb #mtblife #mountainbiking

I rode out to the rope swing on the valley floor and stopped by the “art installation” at the intersection of Skinny and Tree Fort. 😊 #mtb #mtblife #mountainbiking

Looking for trails to ride and encountered this humorous little bit of irony. #mtblife

Successful check ride. Wheels stayed on, nothing came loose, nothing broke, no mid-ride adjustments needed! ❤️ #mtb #mountainbiking #mtlife

All finished. It works. Shifts great. Feels great! I need to tweak the placement of the shifters and double check the bolts and things, but I think it’s ready for a test ride on the local trails tomorrow! #mtb #mountainbiking #mtblife

Brakes on and bled. Now I just need to put the chain on and adjust a few things. ❤️ #mtb #mountainbiking #mtblife

Fork is on. This part is always a bit of work. The rest is relatively straightforward. Unless the tires fight back, that is. #mtb #mountainbiking #mtblife

Today was a great day for a bike ride. Sky was kinda amazing, as is typical. Rain a few days back and the runoff from the mountains made the trails noticeably stickier. ❤️ #mtb #mountainbiking #mtblife

Applying frame protection is such a pain, but I’ve been taking it very, very slowly this time (second time), and I’m much more pleased so far. Also, I will never do this for someone else’s bike unless that someone else is Melanie. ❤️ #mtb #mountainbiking #mtblife

Starting the new project. The Ride Wrap frame protection process is an involved process. It’s my second time doing that, and this time I’m not rushing. #mtb #mountainbiking #mtblife

These types of bottles are a pain to open, but this one was so, so worth it! MTB related: I ride my bike so that I can enjoy a good beer every now and again. #mtb #mountainbiking #mtblife

The snow is pretty, but it’s still precipitating and getting sloppy. No ride today, but I have chocolate cheesecake, so I’ve got that going for me. #mtblife #mtb #mountainbiking #snow

Well, whaddya know! Snow! I hadn’t planned on riding on Sunday because of the cold, but fresh snow on the sandy trails is so worth it. I’ll see how things are in the morning. And I’m impressed. The weather prognosticators said the snow would start at 11:00. #mountainbiking #mtb

Frog and Toad sat on the porch, feeling sad together.

More from the Backbone Trail in Topanga State Park (Pacific Palisades) in October. I love tree tunnels! #mtb #mountainbiking

The single track toward the bottom of the alluvial fan. I don’t get to enjoy these views in the video quite as much when I’m riding. #mtb

Still heartbroken over the fires. I can’t even imagine what the place looks like now, but from the fire maps I’ve seen, none of this will be green again for a while. #mtb

The before and after pics (October and today) of someone covering a fun, challenging and not at all dangerous rock feature. This used to be a challenge that I looked forward to. Grr. #mtb

The fun part of Missing Link (local trails), just before the challenging feature that someone filled in. Not happy about that, but the rest of this trail is still a blast! #mtb

Woohoo! Bike ride day! Local trails are always enjoyable. #mtb
