get to work

this past weekend i was involved with a trail-building school. i'm an avid mountain biker, and i thought i'd give something back by doing maintenance on our trail system. it was fun, though, as you might expect, i'd rather be riding. we did ride on sunday, and that was fun. i have a couple of races coming up at the end of this month (less than 2 weeks away), so I'll keep training for those. after that, i'll cut back on my riding. with the decreasing daylight, it'll be harder to get rides in during the week, unless i want to go night riding. i don't mind riding at night, but it's not something i do a lot of.

september is a good month, perhaps my favourite. it's back to school month. it's cool autumn breeze month. it's warm days, cool nights month. it's the best time to be biking, because there are no bugs, it's not too hot, it's dry. see how it all goes back to biking.

i have re-introduced myself to an old hobby in the past month. fishing. i live very close to a large river, which is known for fishing. so for my birthday i asked my folks for a new fishing rod and reel. so they got that for me along with a new tackle box, filled with some of my dad's old lures. since he's taken up fly fishing, he has no use for the lures. i think eventually, i'll try fly fishing as well. i find it so relaxing, sitting by the river, casting. it's not even about catching fish, really. though that is fun.

oh, and i started writing again. i continued on that soundtrack project i've written about in here. i currently have a list of 22 songs.....

that's about it for now.

later elevators

Mmm...September, the beginning of fall which is my fave time of the year. I love it.

I'm jealous at your fishing escapades...I don't get to go anymore. But having your dad's old lures sounds great. Hopefully someday my dad will pass some of his down to me.

Keep up with the riding!! I bet during this time of year, it's an awesome experience with the view and all!!

October is my favorite month, I have to confess, but September is a close second. (and not just in the order they come in either)

Good post,

Alecia
