I'm late posting this but wanted to share our wonderful ride with you all. SO and I went out for 70 miles on Saturday. The temperature was about 90F by the time we finished and the humidity was off the charts but the ride was still so much fun. We saw so many baby animals! A one-week-old donkey - I could have taken it home with me, it was SOOOOO cute! Six baby geese, two baby goats and....the highlight of the ride - a mama bear and two tiny cubs! They were right beside the road and we were riding very slowly because we were climbing. We came around a turn and heard a crash in the woods to our left. We looked, and mom was jumping into the thicket. The two cubs dashed up a tree and watched us ride by. OMG were they precious!! I didn't have a camera and probably would not have chanced stopping to take a picture anyway. I was dreading the climb up that mountain but after the bears the climb wasn't so bad.
