an early morning klunk



built a wheel later that night, rigged a simple timelapse. no more broken freewheels on the trail.

tamalpais night riding | s24o

climbed tam via old railroad grade, the beginning of a carfree ride thanks to trails and sunset road closures across all roads in the park.


the fog was gorgeous

Shortly hereafter my 3rd freewheel of the past year imploded, sealing the deal for my migration to cassettes. IRD is junk--this time the smallest chainring (which is the threaded lockring) snapped in two under load. This let all my cogs spill sideways and fail to engage the splines. i fixed it by finding a combo with a perfect chainline and carefully rethreaded the lockcog (no sideways strain to pop that cog off), but this combined with two! chain breaks (only 500ish miles on this chain, too) forced me to use the granny gear up front. I rode home with a 24x26 and the amazing towing work of alex. Literally--sam p. taylor to larkspur ferry. He pulled me. We meet up with a great group of women (on a ladies' ride to sam p taylor), hit up a swimming hole, and then found the ferry.

headed up diablo before work earlier this week: nice change of photographic pace when i swapped out the mainstay zoom and threw my 50mm prime back on.
