My New Mountain Bike

I just bought a new mountain bike. Well, actually, I got glasses. And since I have no eye insurance, because eyes apparently aren't part of the human body, I paid full price, which coulda, woulda, shoulda bought me a mountain bike. So it goes.

Some mountain bike routes in Eastern Oregon capture the imagination. Take the Steens Mountain Loop, for instance. Or the ride to the Hat Point Overlook, near Imnaha. Or perhaps the ride through the Zumwalt Prairie, near Enterprise, and up, around and through the Chesnimnus country. Any one of these would be a supreme challenge.

The dream will have to wait. Real life keeps getting in the way.
