Inner Loop with Erinna
First, a picture of Ian in the act of destroying (remodeling) the bathroom:
Project after project, 2007 has been a busy year. Erinna and I got in a great little ride today, despite the pressures to work at work, work at home, and even work to play. We knocked out the inner-loop in just abut 2 hours.
For now, here are a few photos. Here's Erinna crossing a creek/waterfall:
No, that's not a stick, it's the non-business end of a three foot rattlesnake that was in the trail:
and another shot after he started to slither away. His middle section was as fat as a Fosters beercan. It makes my skin crawl thinking of what this monster could do to us:
After that encounter EVERY stick across the trail looked just like that thing.
We wouldn't have confused THIS stick for a rattlesnake, but we didn't see him anyway. This picture is from PMBAR, not yesterdays ride.
Heh... Anyway, it was a beautiful day. The woods are finally green green green! The April freeze definately set everything back a few weeks. Here's Erinna crossing a log bridge on Pilot Cove trail:
and at rest at the turn:
We met this guy, Trent from Ohio. He was kind enough to share a mojo bar with us since we left all our solid food in the Jeep. We talked for a little while about all sorts of things. He was most impressed by the fact that we rode our bikes to this point. That and the fact that in this big wide world, Erinna and I sure are lucky we found each other. That I would have to agree with.
So we had him take a picture of us:
and two more for now: the rhodos are in full bloom:
and a shot of Erinna back down at the bottom, right near the end of the ride:
