- crazy little squirrels that can't decide if they want to cross your path or not

- gopher snakes crossing the path/road (a lady in a SUV safely stopped traffic and escorted/carried the huge snake off the road.. kudos to her!)

- little birdies harassing the crazy little squirrels

- those damn guys in their little green Velo wear

For awhile, I *swear* the same guy was lapping me on Old La Honda road.. I know that I'm slow, but thinking that I've been lapped 3 times was demoralizing. Apparently there are *hoards* of people wearing the same jersey.

- those friendly of guys in their Los Gatos Bicycle Racing Club wear

- tandems! i love watching tandem teams!
