Butch on the Trike 8 Posted by Hello

Barb and her new bike.  Posted by Hello
Yesterday I did a quick run to Cooper on the bike trail. As I was coming back, less than a mile from the Jefferson Depot, I enjoyed a deer encounter. She was standing beside the trail and saw me first. She seemed to be trying to determine what I was. I understand her dilemna as I have had it myself on occasion. I slowed my pace to a crawl but continued to ride once I noticed her. She let me get within 10 feet before bolting. I somehow knew she wouldn't stick around for photos. She was a beauty. Posted by Hello
Thanks Sandy for sending me this link. I have probably encountered Chuck Offenberger on the trail without realizing it. I feel the same as he does about the trails. They bring new life to small towns.

Interesting tidbit: If you bike 100 miles per year, you are in the top 1% of bikers in the nation. Learned at The Bike Barn in Ogden Iowa :-) Posted by Hello

Rode to Herndon today. Cloudy and cool. Not a bad day for riding but pictures turn out better on sunny days, I think. Now I know all you "weed" people are not going to be impressed with my thistle picture But...I like it for its form and color. heehee Posted by Hello
