Banner Year

I've been riding with Trina and Zeek for over a year now. While I was sorting through pics trying to find the right one to make our Dirt & Dogs page banner, I collected a few possibilities. Here are some favorites.

For me, these photos represent a fun and adventuresome year, and some of great places visited. This year, I'll be aiming to get some shots with Trina and both little dogs. Though that Sprocket is a tougher character to capture with the camera.

Zeek is steady and stable and seems to think of himself as a trail dog. After a little galavanting around at the beginning of a ride, he'll usually stick himself right by the back wheel of one of our bikes as we roll along. We continually stop to look around for him, wondering where he's gone, only to realize that he's right there in our "blind spot" waiting for us to get going again.

Sprocket would not be described as stable and steady. Spastic and Crazed might be closer, but that sounds bad, so we'll stick to Energetic and Enthusiastic. He'll rarely stay in one place for more than a few milliseconds. On rides, he's usually ranging way off to the sides, taking long "short-cuts", and zipping around at full speed while we grind our way slowly up hills.

It will be challenging to get photos that match these of Zeek. But hey, everyone needs a goal. I'll give it a try.
