Close Up






This week I got to go to the TLA (Theater of Living Arts) on South street to see Tres Mountain. The band contains two members of Pearl Jam. The guitar player and bassist are from PJ. Mike McCready is the guitarist and is one of the best in the world. Seeing him play from a few feet away was great. The band was very good on a whole. Their sound was hard rock and had a very "put together" sound. Polished! The only part about the night that could have been better is if my brother was their to see it with me. We have seen many PJ shows over the years and I know he would have loved this. Next time! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Nothing like the first RIDE!






I was so happy that I got to see Josie ride a bike without training wheels in person. We knew she was strong enough and we knew she wanted to ride. Her daddy took off the training wheels and I got out the camera. With a little help and encouagment she was on her way! Soon she will catch up to Meg and Luke and they will ride together. The morning boardwalk rides at the shore should be fun this year! Good job Josie I am very proud of you!

Bridge Build 2






The bridge is the second I have built on my school trail in the past year. This spot was in need of a complete re-build. Dave C. and I built the original bridge about 4 or 5 years ago. Thanks to my principal and the PTO for the materials. Thanks to Luke for the help! These kids at my school are lucky!!

Ridge Singletrack




Rode the path to Valley Forge for some dry trails. There is a couple of trails up on ridges I hoped would be dry. They were dry and fun. Technical singletrack at its best.

Lovely





A recent ride took me to downtown Philadelphia and Love park. What a great spot with a view down the Ben Franklin Parkway to the Art Museum. Love park brings back memories of taking the train down to the city in my teen years to skateboard at Love. There used to be a hundred skaters at the park in the summer in those days. Now of course it is against the law to skate there. Shame!
