I found DIRT!!!

I have been out a few times since I last posted. I feel like I've been neglecting. Been a bit of testing the new microphone with the camera. It's been working great so far along with the free editing software I got.

Took a quick trip out to Steilacoom on the Puget Sound. It was pretty. A Short ride but real nice neighborhoods in a place I never thought I would find any. Guess I just don't know this area too well.

I took a couple trips up to the North side of Lake Washington over the last two weeks. Went to my sister's house just North of Green Lake. Took the LOOOOOONG route there around the East side of the lake. It was interesting to be on the highway so much. But great weather the last two weekends for it all. For the life of me I'm not having a lot of luck finding dirt to ride in using Google Maps. I don't know if there's a technique to it or what. Let me know with some comments if you have an idea how or where to look.

I took a trip to the town I went to high school in, Duvall. Always a nice drive down the Snoqualmie Valley. Stopped by the falls as well to see those. I'm going to get a tripod soon here so that I can get some 3rd party shots of myself and the bike. Should be able to use it with the camera as well.

All in all the riding went pretty safely. My gloves are still making my hands sweat. But when I used my leather gloves out to Steilacoom they weren't keeping the wind out like I wanted them to. Apparently the gauntlets on the BILT gloves are pretty useful.

Found some dirt roads just outside Ft Lewis on the East side. Lots of gravel. I found I do not like the gravel and how squishy it makes the tires under me. After riding on all this concrete the loosity is unnerving (loosity, wasn't a word, now it's a word). Found some puddles and got some mud on Taquache. She was happy, I could tell. Found out my Fox boots are not necessarily waterproof either.

I'm planning to go to a park down South by Olympia this next weekend. Get some more dirt under me. That's the goal of this all. Dirt baby, I need it. I don't even know why I'm drawn to it so.

Please leave a comment down below or send me an email about where else you would like me to ride. Whether they're scenic roads or particular trails I'm willing to go take a look and post it up. Remember to like my facebook page to get notifications of when I post up here. Thanks for stopping by and be safe out there.

Until next time people. YouTube will soon be mine for the taking.
THAR BE MUD UNDER THERE!!!
