    Heavy fall on MTB, no lifting, I bet the skies will now clear.

      Ouch, really doesn't sound nice. I was planning a long trip, didn't know there was a steep hill and was traveling pretty quickly (~20 - 25mph), saw a car coming up and used my rear brake to lose some speed, rear wheel came off the road and it felt like I was levitating for a bit. This was in the day.

      I think it's times like these when we should remember just how dangerous it is, and it's good to go slow at night or in unfamiliar territory.

      Only 2nd time I have hurt myself in 7 years of off-road riding. These things happen, I feel safer riding btw trees than on the roads, lol. You take care as well.

      Thanks :), fingers crossed (although not when I'm actually riding!)

    The view of Jupiter and a last quarter moon at 0400 this morning will remain with me for a long time.

      Mars is up, so that is the early ones. Neptune and Uranus up next, then Lovejoy and Jupiter much later. Saturn at 0700 tomorrow if the skies let me.

    On a MTB ride, the 1st quarter moon suddenly appears from cloud and shines across the lake I am riding by...wonderful moment.

    Last last night got probably as good as I can expect from Mars for now.

  21. stevend

    Jupiter, Mars & Saturn, I have had worse sessions. :)

  22. stevend

    MTB is fun, stargazing is fun, but not at the same time.

  23. stevend

    Managed to sneak in a nice quick session on Venus and the first quarter moon. Lovely.

  24. stevend

    Great early morning views of Jupiter and Mars

  25. stevend

    Lovely view of Neowise through 10x binos at 2300 in South Bucks.
