Here are some resurrected video clips from the last four years of everything transit related that i am thankful for, in Olympia and PNW proper. Enjoy!<div style="text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a>What is one to do with all of the video clips that one never used during the last 3 - 4 years? While I was going through all of my old sd cards there emerged a common theme of: "Transportation". Footage either from/ or of buses, trains, automobiles, planes, walkers, skaters, bikers, dogs, diggers etc.. This theme turned out to be the glue that finally led me to piecing this video montage reel together. <br />
<br />
She's called "Lost In Transit"; a massive transportation experience...<br />

I am moving east, to Bavaria 2.0.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a privilege and a pleasure to have been a part of the nobby tire cycling scene in the Olympia area for all of these years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Capitol Forest. Sub Black Hills. T Bird Track. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Built/Rebuilt T Bird BMX Track with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/balance_worx/?hl=en">Brian McGovern</a> and Co in the late 80's. Mullets. Heavy Metal. Tioga Comp 3 tires. DK stems. Bent one piece cranks. Bear Trap pedals. Life as a kid on a BMX bike in the 80's was good. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ran into <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thompsonbicycles/?hl=en">Corey Thompson</a> last night at Vic's Pizza Wildwood. I reminded him of the Capital City Bike Club intro to MTB class I took with him and Bill Stevenson in 1991. We rode cantilever brake rigid bikes through bottomless mud to Mima Falls - it was terrible - I was hooked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1992, my long time friend <a href="http://gl6racing.net/images/mtbmosh1.JPG">Jamey Poelker</a>, first MTB race together. The "beginner" class rode from Old Camp Bordeaux to The Peak and back - all moto trails in those days. I hallucinated and could not see straight after dropping down from the towers into Old Trail 30. Experiential learning of what "bonking" meant. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1994, bought my first carbon mountain bike from Will Trogden at Bike Tech - Giant Cadex. Worst drivetrain ever - Suntour. Destroyed the rear wheel hucking stairs on the Capitol Campus. The frame was unphased. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.capitolforest.com/ridesickpuke6002.html">2002, Sick Puke</a> - I thought it would be a good idea to ride an all trail circumnavigation of Capitol Forest and so did a few other Sickos. It wasn't until <a href="http://www.capitolforest.com/ridesickpuke2009.html">2009</a> that we actually pulled it off - crossing into my old Capitol Forest property after 67 hard earned miles of CF trail with my good friend <a href="http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12637236/p5pb12637236.jpg">Henry Gertje</a> and the rest of the great crew. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
2004, someone needed to build a website with relevant info for recreational users of Capitol Forest. So by chance I aqcuired the domain name <a href="http://www.capitolforest.com/">www.capitolforest.com</a> then figured out how to build a website.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2006, we needed to take better care of Our Forest, so we started <a href="http://www.capitolforest.com/friendsofcapitolforest.html">FOCF</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
2007, why not start the NW's only <a href="http://www.capitolforest.com/racesFOCF07.html">Super D Series</a>, right here in Capitol Forest?<br />
All mountain Capitol Forest King and Queen? Yes, in 2008.<br />
The CF AM King/Queen was the fallout after racing Downieville in 2007. My co conspirator of shred, <a href="http://gl6racing.net/images/jaggerFOCF08sd1_46.jpg">Matt Jagger</a> and I had major "earn your turns" racing fever after that pilgrimage to the home turf of all mountain racing's original hard man, <a href="http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/singlespeed/387499d1219840207-full-suspension-ss-img_3591.jpg">Mark Weir.</a><br />

2008, <a href="http://gl6racing.net/">GL6 Racing</a> needed to happen.

<div style="text-align: center;">
2010, a few us fought the winter blues in Olympia by starting <a href="http://olydirt.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html">OLY DIRT.</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fasWaIsmkks/V7QDNPkJZFI/AAAAAAAAEgI/PQyRLcp4iGgjLi-DpMzaiOov9mYgql3tQCLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-08-16%2Bat%2B11.24.36%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fasWaIsmkks/V7QDNPkJZFI/AAAAAAAAEgI/PQyRLcp4iGgjLi-DpMzaiOov9mYgql3tQCLcB/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-08-16%2Bat%2B11.24.36%2BPM.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are just some of the Olympia nobby tire experiences and good people that helped shape me as a cyclist and citizen of Olympia. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a deep list of Olympia cyclists and businesses who are continuing to shape and improve the riding experience in and around Olympia these days. The results are and will be stunning. I am particularly excited for and interested in what <a href="http://www.pinkbike.com/video/441655/">Andrew Claiborne</a>, <a href="https://www.strava.com/athletes/1443237">Adam Hale</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQujGszQPdT4CDVK5MgqsAQ">John Mueller</a>, <a href="http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb13748829/p5pb13748829.jpg">Trey Wilson/Lee Peterson Team</a> and <a href="https://www.strava.com/athletes/117508">Tim Smith</a> are up to these days - a few among many local cyclists pushing the Oly cycling scene forward.<br />
<br />
Dear Oly Dirt Cyclists -<br />
Thank you for being great, and thank you for sharing the great and honorable responsibility of building and sharing in the holistic pursuit of personal and social health and excellence through the act of riding bicycles on OLY DIRT.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Had a great ride in CF tonight. Moto trail, of course. </div>

There is no access to Capitol Forest from the north end of Delphi, near the westside of Olympia. This access opportunity would more efficiently feed users into the forest, without having to concentrate them into the current closest points of entry - Rock Candy TH and CLine RD. This North Delphi entrance would also allow cyclists to ride from Olympia, directly into Capitol Forest without having to trespass through private land or navigate the current cyclist unfriendly options of Waddell Creek RD and Highways 101/8. </span></div>

<a name='more'></a>plains of abraham and ape canyon trails from last summer represent in this edit. the scenery and the exploration vibe prevail in most of the popular videos about the area, and no doubt it is all top notch. but i went for a little slideshow of the scenery and then how sick the helmet cam descent footage was back down through the oldgrowth forest in this here zone. much love #pnw, may your summer jaunts be filled with stoke.

The next best thing to riding a mountain bike is watching World Cup DH Racing (I've been consistently trying to prove this to myself the couple of seasons). Joy Ride Bikes has created a mini fantasy league through Dirt Mag. Assemble your team, give it a name and sign up with the Joy Ride Mini League. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For the winner, Joy Ride is giving away a limited edition 2017 prototype Iron Horse 310mm SHITS (Super Huckster Inspired Tuned Suspension) DH bike. This last part may or may not be at all true. </div>

Check out the launch video for some more info, and <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1106708179/lichen-bikes" target="_blank">donate here</a> if you want to see his project continue into the future!<br />

<br />
Now three frames in, Devin recently went down to the NAHBS to show off the first bike he has built as part of an 8-frame initial production run. His bike had a picture in Pinkbike's coverage of the event, and also got to show off his work in this video.<br />
