I rode 40 miles on a paved trail. Animal encounters included the hitchhiking anole, a deer who crossed at a leisurely pace about three feet ahead of the rider ahead of me (I resisted saying, Hey, Velvet, did you see that deer?) and a hatchling Gopher Tortoise (VERY EXTREMELY rare to see a hatchling) which I resisted, although I did have a short visit with him. Oh, lots of river cooter turtles- they must have been out looking for egg-laying spots. We then went to a restaurant for lunch, and it began thunderstorming the minute we were back in our cars on the way to lunch. Perfect timing!

Did 45 miles, 42 of which were with Fuji Girl and some other ladies that ride as a group up north of the city. There was 1 guy, so it was the complete opposite of what I'm normally used to with group/club rides
We rode up through the affluent north shore suburbs, on a crappy road for part of the way. Once we got beyond the patchwork, it was great.
