This is my first blog entry. I just registered here at wristtwisters, on the recommendation of a fellow I don't even know. I will explain. My wireless router recently went tits up, and I had to buy a new one. I was having some difficulty getting it configured so I phoned the tech support line for my Internet service provider, and was connected to Mike.

Mike was friendly and helpful in assisting this old digital immigrant to get back online. The process involved several re-boots of a...

Tonight basically culminates the end of my time spent at the treetops. Tomorrow afternoon I will load up my gear and bike onto a trailer, and start the 1100mi trek towards home. At that point I will unload my bike and head towards a friends house, have a few drinks and catch some Zzzzs before I make the final 200mi stretch home on the 9er.

This place has been simply amazing for my spirits. It has played home base to me since Saturday. While a little excitement does happen around...

So I'm already burnt out on my gig that is 100% travel, and have started looking for something that would keep me at home.

After reevaluating my schedule, riding today would not have been a good idea. I fly out tomorrow morning, and have next to no clean clothes at the moment. Home now doing l laundry...

I had some business this week at a town called Perth which is about an hour from home. I suspected that I might be able to finish the business mid-afternoon and then have time to hit this nice roads out that way.

It was around freezing in the morning on the way there. The first half hour I was fine, but then my right fingertips got cold and I got a bit of a chill.

By 3PM when I hit the road again it was about 10 degrees Celsius, just fine when well layered up like I...
