100.97 miles - goal #13
Goal was met this week, but the eaaasssyy way. Couple of rides into work, Scott's awesome 4th of July Scavenger Hunt and a run up to Beale's Pt.
I rode into work on both Wed and Fri this week, nice easy cruise in and back. I especially like the ride in the morning this time of year, the wildlife out and about is amazing. Deer browsing along the side of the trail, baby turklets and their moms scurrying about, jackrabbits, squirrels, water birds, they are all going about their business.
The cruise up to Beale's Pt this afternoon was good too. Once I got pass the water access points where all the rafters were congregating the trail was deserted, I pretty much had it to my self. Even the zoo that is Beale's Pt was not too hard to navigate. Baby Quail have to be the cutest baby bird around. Tiny little fluffs of feathers scurrying around after mom and dad on the side of the trail, so sweet...you could just eat them up! Haha.
Have you ever noticed that the only people willing to get naked in public are those you really don't want to see naked anywhere, in public or in private?
The hi-lite of the week's riding had to be Scott's 4th of July Scavenger Hunt this morning. Every year on or near the 4th he organizes a fun ride for us, and it is always a blast. We have clues to find, have to take pictures of them and get back within a certain amount of time, all has to be done while moving around on our bikes. Absolutely awesome fun. I was paired up with Barry and Debbah, which is a good thing, they are very clever and make up for my slack of imagination. We found a good number of clues, but yet once again my team arrived back late, by 1 minute. We were penalized points, Scoot is a hard task master. As good as our takes were, Jean, Di and Kristen were the winners by several photos, a well deserved victory for them.
Once every one returned, we started the potluck, which was very heavy on the sweets and light on the savory, but delicious all the way around. I probably should have done a little more than 25 miles this afternoon, I certainly had enough sugar high to burn.
After the potluck, we enjoyed the slide show Scott put together of everyone's pics, some very imaginative imaging of clues. I know some smart people, how the heck did that happen?
