Hey, I didn't get the day wrong! I got to the parking lot of Arbolado Park and there was just me. I waited for about 15 minutes, then thought, heck, I drove all the way out here, surely I can find a mountain! So even though my sense of direction was off, I followed the sign, and found my way.

It was a beautiful day! Perfect for riding. Can't say I made it all the way. I was maybe a mile or two away from the peak, but my stomach was hungry, it looked a zillion miles away, and I was cold. So I turned. Something to works toward! It's now my goal to ride to the peak by the time I turn 50. Gives me a year and a month! lol.

On the way back to my truck, I noticed that Arbolado Dr. crosses Northgate, aha! A short cut. Darned hilly one, that nearly did me in. And as I reached the park, it was then I realized there were TWO parking lots! I was in the kiddie playground one.

Anyway, maybe next time I can find you'all to ride it again, and join you for food afterwards! How lucky you are to have that in your backyard!!
