A Sunday Drive

It's Sunday, didn't plan to ride, but seeing that it warmed up to 52 degrees, I had to mount the stallion. I took off on Hwy 277, the highway to Eldorado, just wanted to go 10 miles and that was it. But I kept riding becuase it was so awesome, I was averaging 15 mph, hit 10 miles in 40 minutes, the first hour was effortless, I actually pondered going all the way to Eldorado with my new-found herculian strength and Prefontain stamina. Despite the afternoon delight, I decided to turn around after an hour because of sunset issues. The instant I was parallel to the hwy during my U-turn, the wind nearly knocked me over.

I had the wind at my back that whole time, so it was in my face the whole way home, I prefer a good hill of wind in the face any day. Took me about an 1h 40min to get back to my Sonora hideout. Sooo, I of course stopped on the way back, (prolly figured that out from the pic), and a horse came running up to the bike.

Mr. Ed and Me

After about 2 minutes of caressing and 50's sitcom trivia, he took off for some delicious flowers over yonder. This encounter was enough to power me home.
