that is it

Seems like forever since I took the niner out.














A dirt edition of the ThNR.

I have heard good things about the Big Agnes air core pads. I picked one up at REI today.
It is a touch heavier than the Thermarest Ultra Light but packs smaller and inflates more.
We'll see how it fares on the urban overnighter at the end of the month, and more importantly we'll see how I fare.



























A little bit longer too with the mummy shape.














Much thicker than the Thermarest. With any luck this will translate into additional comfort at a nominal weight penalty.














Nice ride with the family today too.

More of the new light rail.

This view was full of people by the time I got off.
Being at the start of the line usually means a nice warm train to wait on.

The ThNR happened to coincide with the first day of the new year. There were big plans but in the end everyone else bailed. I amended the planned direction by not really paying attention and just riding.

A proper ThNR involves a stop at the bistro.

My new favorite snack, hawthorn fruit with chile.














Time for some trail.
