    Today's ride was an organized outdoor sculpture art viewing ride described here: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=34125

    lst photo: part of a group art installation ..several figures crouching.
    2nd photo: at a major botanical garden that was featured in ride as a stopover (if you had time.) Wonder if they will keep the topiary for the 2010 Winter Olympics early next year.
    3rd photo: one of the featured bands at our cycling ride event at the end. They are a band that includes some Serbian songs. I love the accrodian design.

    pangolin - scaley anteater

    I was riding along and I saw one squashed in the middle of a road. it was a huge adult one. no picture coz i had no camera. It's so sad, these animals are very endangered, why can't the driver just slow down and let it pass??? They are very slow moving creatures and they are mostly nocturnal, so the accident probably happened at night when traffic was light. I saw it in the late morning.
    The road it was on is a very well lit one, so i doubt not seeing it is a valid excuse...

    an article with some information and a nice picture of a live one.

    Definitely a local landmark.

    Reesha....the Woolie Bears were out in force today on our ride. Alas, I think a few met the wrong side of our wheels. Ewwww....

    Today, I saw something I've never seen before....the inside of a wine glass.
    Four of us head out to Sugarloaf Mountain, where a winery is located. The tasting room was open, and one of the guys wanted to check it out. "What? Are you serious?" SURE! So, we took a flight! Pretty cool.
    I treated the wooly bears like an obstacle course I didn't hit a one! (though I can't speak for the boys on my cycling team)

    I went out for a ride at 5:15 AM today. I saw a lot of delivery trucks in Concord center; something you don't see during the day. I also smelled coffee very strongly, as I rode past Starbucks. I know a lot of people have commented on how they smell breakfast during their commutes, but this has never happened to me, mostly because the houses are pretty far back from the road. The other day, I did see a hawk, that swooped down really, really low as I was riding down the hill. It was a little scary.

    It's on Ten Oaks Road in Dayton, MD, not exactly a major thoroughfare. Here it is geotagged on the map:

    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Here is a picture from my ride Sat Oct 3, to visit the historic San Xavier Mission. The church still serves the residents of the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation.

    It was a beautiful fall day in central Kentucky. A great day for a ride! Today I saw...

    Lots of squirrels - one ran right in front of me and I missed it by only a few inches!

    Kids playing outside - somthing I haven't seen much of lately. Kids don't play outside as much as they used to. Schools in my town were closed today which is why I had the day off. Kids were climbing trees, playing in the leaves, riding bikes, etc. It was great to see!
