Caving at the Rockpile with Ernie

Fun day spent with Ernie hiking and caving at the Rockpile. I say this often, but I am really rather blessed. I picked up the hobby of caving and happen to live very close (1-2 hours) from dozens of caves that I can easily access and explore.

Here is the report I’ve written for the Mother Lode Grotto that will appear in their publication The Valley Caver.

Bike to Work - Ebike for the Win

I enjoy riding my ebike to work. While there is some effort, when I’m in a hurry and just want to “get there” I let the ebike assist me much more. When I’m on my way home and it’s not in the 100s, I use the maximum power assist on the mile of surface streets. Once I get to the isolated bike trail I cut the power to the lowest setting and push hard for about 15 minutes.
