Going to the Sun Road

By Dan Shryock

I stare into my well-earned pint of brown ale at a Kalispell brewery as I think back on the day’s ride. There are challenging rides; the mountains needing to be climbed. Then there are the scenic rides; destinations with breathtaking backdrops that give you pause.

This ride in Montana’s Glacier National Park was the best of both, an adventure I won’t forget.

Hound of the Buskervilles

By Shawn Reynolds

The mist covered the Devonshire moors creating an eerie effect on the surrounding scenery. The sun dipped below the horizon, taking all sense of safety with it. I was among a gathering at the front gate of the old English manor house. Among our group was the Inspector, a famous detective from London. He was here to solve a baffling case. Along with him was his friend, Dr. Watt. His purpose, as far as I could determine, was to ask the Inspector the questions we all were thinking. The Inspector would answer the question and this would move the plot along.

I was in a florescent orange jersey, sitting on a yellow track bike the Inspector had given me.

Open Space Good News

Twenty-nineteen was a good year for Northern California’s trails and open space. As 2020 dawns here are a couple of the victories that will result in more opportunities to get outdoors — close to home!
