Bump de Bump

Cool and breezy this morning. Met JB and Peter at the Gate and launched.


Peter got a new bike; A TREK 2.3. The less aggressive riding position is better for his back and the triple crank is better for his knees.



Scads of riders this morning and I felt pretty good - even tossed down a little sprint at the Junction.

Wildlife Encounter: black tail deer at the bottom of the Bump.

We all went down SGR. JB went on to Blackhawk but Peter and I turned around at the Tire Poppers and climbed back up.

These new markers are a culvert numbering system and don't have anything to do with distance.















































Blog reader Nate from Ohio dropped me a note that the "butterfly" I photographed at the Junction a few weeks ago is actually a Ceanothus Silk Moth.



Thanks to absolutely fabulous nature photographer Bill Bouton and his Flickr account for this phenomenal photo.

I'm not worried about the mileage or the time, but I'm going to be in some serious pain at ride's end... that's a lot of weakness leaving my body.

I talked with Ann and she has recruited 3 more for our group! That's 6 sharing turns leading the train - done right you only have to work hard 16.67% of the time!
