Funny - as we all get older - that he biggest thing I’ve noticed, is all of a sudden going downhill is much, much harder than going uphill.

Time to add a few pics from my time in Knoxville. I didn’t get many cool bicycle pics. Just didn’t have time to chase down the team locations, or have time at start of the races to get them. That said, I did get some of stuff with the moto and my Utah Alumni sticker on it. I did attempt to get a video from Friday night’s critierium, but it won’t download properly from google.
There is a good chance I’ll work the Maryland Cycling Classic over Labor Day weekend.

While our honey bees have abandoned our hive (don’t really know why as it was really healthy until early May), we still get really cool visitors like this one the other day.

I think I could handle the climb but the descent would make my knees very angry.
A few pics from the Liberty 4th of July parade. I like it because it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

A few snaps I took last week on vacation.
At Fort Royal on St. Marguerite Island, with mainland France in the background:
A typical street in the old village of Cagnes-sur-Mer, France:
Ventimiglia, Italy… view of harbor and the Mediterranean from the edge of the upper village:

We spent a few days camping at Joes Valley Reservoir. We didn’t spend any time on the water, just did some exploring, biking, relaxing, plinking, and eating.
Moon over the mountains
Wildflowers galore at about 9000 ft
Looking east over the reservoir
I think this is a pair of Osprey and their nest
View from about 10,000 feet

Are there mountain biking trails in the area?
Not that I could find. Just dirt roads with lots of ATV traffic. I rode one morning ar 6:00 am up towards Skyline drive for about 11 miles and 2500 vert before the traffic got bad.
The Good Water Trail at San Rafael Swell is about 40 miles away. But it’s too hot this time of year for that trail.
We spent some time on St. Marguerite Island a few years back. It was so refreshing to get away from the mobs in Cannes. Really liked it.

Pretty cool how untouched it is. I think I read somewhere that they almost ended up developing it in the 19th or early 20th century. Glad that didnt happen.

Everyone should have a Farmall…
1946 Farmall “A”. I’ve been looking for years for a 1949 International Harvester pickup (Ute Red) to go with it, but have not found one yet.

Had a local farmer in Magna that would get his family together to drive his 10 antique tractors in the Magna 4th of July Parade.

A typical Sanpete Valley sunset. It was cloudy all day, and suddenly as the sun set the clouds cleared a little and we had this.
