Lay It On The Line
Hi, people! Lay it on the line doesn't really have anything to do with the ride. I just had the old Triumph song from 1979 on my mind. You can listen to it here. On to business at hand. Ever so slowly we are getting our cycling legs in tune. This past weekend we did a half road and half mountain bike ride for about 40 miles. That's not far, but not too short either. The mountain bike was used for both legs of the trip. Moreover, I have spring fever something terrible. We've been able to get out quite a bit, and I pulled some older helmet cam videos for fun.
Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park (road bike)
Kokopelli Trail, Western Colorado (mountain bike)
Our ride was good, although my toosh was sore from the previous day's ride. We saw a lot of bighorn sheep (as usual) while in Waterton Canyon, with some good-size rams. On a side note, we're also playing with food. I can hardly get down and stomach an energy bar these days. Instead of high-dollar energy foods, we're drying our own fruit, thanks to Snowcatcher. The day's snack was apple and peach slices covered in cinnamon. The cinnamon dries into the fruit. MMMmmmmm...
I turned around at upper Lenny's Bench. It was down to the flats now. I don't write much here as I'm always writing about Waterton Canyon and surrounds. I'll talk about several things along the trail. The Chatfield area had a surprise or two.
This little character had some nice markings.
The last of the snow was going, going, soon to be gone!
This is a bull snake; rattlesnakes are on their menu. This particular specimen would stretch out to 4 or 5 feet.
That's it for now. Thanks for reading and viewing!
Adios
That was an awesome ride!!! Hope we get to do it again soon. Those videos really bring back memories, too. You'll have to start using your helmet cam again...
