What is the thing you see most on your rides?

[ladyjai]

sun, asphalt, glass, cars and trucks. buildings and landscaping designed to make it either look like not a desert, or take advantage of desert plants.

when i vary my routes to include climbing: quail, cottontails, lizards, and moving bushes/shrubs, and our lovely mountains, sajuaro, and brownish shrubs/trees.

occassionally, other riders!

Road: looking up: mountains, sky, lots of friendly bikers; down: glass, gravel.
Mountain: cholla balls, rocks, quail, kangaroo rats, cottontail and jack rabbits, turkey vultures, and rarely other humans (I know some secret places!)

I thought yellow was going to post here and say that she was even seeing roots and sand in her dreams.

Mountain: Dirt, trees, deer, squirrels, roots, and massive webs coverng entire branches (fall webworm I think)...yuck!

The other day while mountain biking I saved a chipmunk. A hawk and just came down to get the poor fellow and got freaked out when I turned the corner. The hawk and chipmunk fled in seperate directions.


Road: Cars, trees, tons of dead/dying trees (caused by emerald ash borer, such a sad site to see) grass, and lots of badgers (or something that resembles a badger)

YEA for the chipmunk Salsa!!!!

I was on a ride last weekend and saw a large bird flopping around in a field next to the road, my first thought was "oh, poor thing is hurt", I started to go see if I could help and saw the reason for it's "balance" issues...the bunny in it's talons. I know, I know, it's the circle of life but it's still icky.
