After a really good Mexican food breakfast with my son and his fiancee, we opted to hike instead of ride. I felt a little guilty, but with winds gusting to about 35 mph and the temperature around 52, which made it feel even colder, I decided I didn't want to get blown across the road. 52 is actually a perfect riding temperature, but the wind made it feel downright wintery. We have actually had a real spring this year, with some summery days thrown in, so I guess I'm a little spoiled.
We did a 4.06 mile hike in 57 minutes, a good pace for me. I was horrified to see at the beginning of the trail, someone had driven a rather large vehicle on the trail, until it got so narrow, they couldn't pass. We've had so much rain, in some spots, the trail was decimated. I wouldn't even be riding a mountain bike in these conditions. Sad to say, this part of the trail is in my old town, and it was probably some drunk, spoiled teenagers from the high school.
Well, the hike was good, even though I actually had my headband on in the beginning, it was so cool.
