Magnificent or Mundane May Rides!

[shootingstar]

It has been wet light snow, melting on ground and some light rain the whole day. However unlike yesterday, I bicycled more today --a grand total of probably 12 km. The ride was interspersed with 2 public outdoor art walks ..in recognition of Jane's Walks worldwide. Jane Jacobs was a Canadian who became known for her theories on urban livability for better urban planning --ie. walkable, vibrant cities and neighbourhoods.

a very leisurely ride through the venice beach alleys to photograph some of the street art etc. and then to the farmers market. going to ride to my fellowship meeting soon and then spend the night catching up on some of my work. The past few days of heat broke and it was a delightful low 70's today with a cool breeze from the ocean.

I think I will title this, "why we plank" or something like that, to bad the DH didn't get the shot when I was under the fence. Am sending to the Wilderness Ranger as we aren't so sure this fence is legal - no gate and it is BLM land, not private land. Another terrific ride in the Owyhee Desert. Flowers were out in force. Only saw one snake (bull snake) Did some riding in the dark and saw numerous little desert pack rats. Spooked a herd of deer while stopped to admire a herd of Antelope - crazy.

Glad you're going to bring this fence to the ranger's attention, Sky King. That doesn't seem right if it's BLM land.

Love the photo!

Hahaha, Skyking.

Got 20 miles in QUICK today averaged 15 mph on the way there, slightly higher on the way back. The BF and I were both just like, "Let's GO!". I got another 5 in on the commute so YAY for 25 miles.

Went out on the MTB last night. Trails I can ride blind folded. Ended up crashing HARD not once, but TWICE! I NEVER crash. I was pretty embarrassed about it. Thankfully fine, just a banged up knee and a bruised ego . The best was trying to make it uphill into a feature we call the "gravity cavity", not quite making it, and falling over backwards like a turtle. I'm sure it was a sight.

Ouch, SheFly! Glad it wasn't too bad. I am about to go give blood (which pretty much rules out any real exercise the rest of the day) but managed to get out for a quick ride this morning. Trying to figure out the Cyclemeter app on the iPhone but not sure how accurate it is (top speed was supposedly 45.45 mph...I know there was one long descent where I got going pretty fast but not sure it was THAT fast). Total distance 9.85 miles, 313 ft elevation.

Were you blindfolded? I want a picture of the gravity cavity. That's a great name.
