Ramblins from the two wheelin' fool
Earlier in the week I was up in the city taking photos of the Bay Bridge at sunrise. People were talking about this so-called quote “super moon.”I heard through the web that there would be great photo opportunities at the Golden Gate Bridge. While websites like to meet up and Facebook are great to connect [...]

A friend of mine, Matt, took a photo of the Bay Bridge and posted it on Facebook. I was very much intriuged by the photo and wanted to try my own to see if I could capture the same sort of sentiment. I had another “get up at the crack of dawn” to capture the [...]

I was headed out to Arastradero park to see if I could find some poppies. I’ve seen them by the freeway a number of times this spring in good color. The park usually has some good flowers to photograph this time of year. I had the afternoon free, so I figured it was a good [...]

Inertia is a very powerful thing. Because I am used to the Santa Cruz Mountains and love the ocean, I very rarely ride out in the East Bay.

This was pretty much the perfect weekend to ride. It’s been a fairly mild winter overall, but even so when a day pops up with clear skies and temperatures near the 70s it’s time to ride! John came down from Sacramento and was interested in running some of the local roads up in the redwood [...]

A number of years ago a roommate of mine stumbled up on a homeowner in the area that liked Halloween to a completely new level! Brent Ross, a local in Mountain View, stages a Halloween display that is pretty awesome. The display is fully mechanized and scripted. It fully covers his front yard and while [...]

A good friend of mine was in town and was looking to do a little riding around the bay as he’s often here on business and has never been riding out here. I didn’t know much in the way of bike rental in this area other than Dubbelju and EagleRider. Rob however found something a [...]

The rain and snow never really materialized over the Kings Canyon area so I was in luck. The weather was good and the loud as all get out stream was still rolling in the morning! Normally I just take 180 out to 99 to 152 to 101. CA-180 is a nice ride down to Sanger [...]
