Activities and training up to early April were focused on preparing for the Ancient Lakes Trail Race, a challenging 25K trail race near Quincy WA. Eastern Washington landscape is so very different than Western Washington and a visit to Ancient Lakes is worth the drive to hike, MTB, run, or camp, from Fall through Spring.
Having survived that, all attention has shifted to focus on cycle training for the trip to South Dakota with Bicycle Adventures which begins in about a week. Although, other volunteering activities including some fun but tiring trail building at Grunwald Artist Retreat, and horse handling for Healing Steps Equine-Centered Therapy (therapy for people not the horses). More to come: Another supported bicycle ride with BRNW, a shake down bike tour (don’t forget the Spiffy’s donut stop!), and a longer self supported tour of Olympic Peninsula and south.

I especially love the picture of the young man riding the horse. Must be an interesting story there!

Ha. Bad photo. Updated it to show that it's a sharp corner (switchback) and rocks are there to discourage short cutting and degrading the bank.
