had a nice little spin today. It was gorgeous after a week of rain. The
colors are so intense!!
I was having a hard time motivating... oh, I'll do the short loop ( 3 miles)
but just kept after myself because it was a good day to be out. Talked myself past the turn off for the short loop and kept on going. What is really excellent is that there
are some new trails that eliminate the need to grind up the utility road to
make the top... sweet new trail all the way.

If you look closely in the first photo you can see a deer.
