It's hard not to get a bit down when you think of how many miles you could have ridden, but who is to say you would have enjoyed that more? That's what I tell myself anyway.ToadMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873763565941746536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348278507505143679.post-55324334776302402322015-01-23T06:58:55.876-08:002015-01-23T06:58:55.876-08:00Thanks, I consider it a measure and balance of the...Thanks, I consider it a measure and balance of the other important things in my life.

We had two maps and a Garmin GPS to point our way, another option would be to get lost then use the GPS (like riding horses) to lead us home. <br />I'm not overly concerned with the bruise, I just had to post it somewhere so I remember six to eight months from now where it came from. I'm also not concerned with the number of miles, which is probably why I didn't record it last year, but it does remind me that I have other activities in my life too.<br />Troubadourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567767701065756330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348278507505143679.post-23630432185691222602015-01-23T04:28:54.623-08:002015-01-23T04:28:54.623-08:00Nice exploring....and for a very good cause!

Our few times driving around that area always left us good and lost, and never on the road we planned to travel. <br />Sorry that the Subaru got a boo-boo, but it does add character. <br />I don't even want to look at my mileage. It's probably only in the double digits - sad!

Too much local riding and commuting I guess. Do you have a hand-held GPS for trail riding (bikes or bicycles)? I had picked up a Garmin 60CSx years ago and it's easy to download trail routes onto it. Plus, it's waterproof and the 2xAA batteries last for a couple of full days. <br /><br />Nice photos, too bad about the ding.
