bello a bassa velocità

Thinking of Italy, and seeing how slow but happy I was out on the trails gave this ride it's title. Thats about all I got to say about that :)

Precious

Early early morning before the boys school, wife and I had plans, this got the ride done and papa could be a happy man

Rat A Tat Tat

Looking for something a bit different that didn't involve moring traffic. So I was went for Gold Canyon. An overcast moring was welcomed and I knew my days are numbered if not already over at Gold Canyon for the summer, the place is super snakey, while I don't fear sankes as bad as some, I do fear the uneccesary wallop of trouble one can put you in. So on this lovely morning it was not long before I ran into one unfortunately. After I caught it's tail part way across the trail I stoppe and cussed after my heart started beating. We then went into a standoff where I could not pass the snake as it stood rattiling just afew inches off the trail and with grasses maybe hiding another one possibly I didn't want to venture anywhere until it moved. So I spent 2 minutes trying to figure out what to do and then very very carefully walked thru the grass on the other side of the trail since this snake had every intention on staying it's ground. Not even 1/2 way thru the ride this was going to mess up the rest of the ride, even more so when I came across the second one as I rolled by he was not bothered at all for a photo and now I was two snakes and 1/2 way into the ride. Nervous about the second half of the ride my eyes and mind were peeled tightly to the trail. Happy to report snake crossings were done for the day and I won't likely be back to Gold Canyon until the fall or despiration.

Just Right

now on two brand new tires and enjoying it so far, miss my stans rear wheel and maybe th maxxis ikon, but the continental mountain king is holding air an working just fine. Nice spin around hawes nothing fancy.

Busy Busy Busy

Busy out there in the hills, I guess spring break is in effect maybe, after a haul into Usery and seeing a few perfectly fit people on ebikes I was off to the horse trails to find some solitude. Luckily I found it, and closed out the second half of the ride pleasantly, now get off my lawn!

Yesssssssssss

I find myself undecided where I am going until I am on the highway, looking for solitude and comfortable trails I find myself getting off Brown rd quite alot lately. This instance had me on the wonderful horse trails yet again heading down to te river on a heating up busy friday morning. I do find fridays there are definitey more people out and about most have smiles. Wanted to ride saturday but dang I had a good week and headed on a weekend getaway on saturuday afternoon.

Wowza

This morning began with a spring sprinkle of rain, it created quite the scene as it was brief and then moved on out in a quick order. The rest of the ride was filling a 20 mile quota, its always hard not to stop at the car when I pass it 1/2 way, luckily my will is stronger and happily filled in the blanks.
