Definitely warm enough to find snakes on West Old LaHonda. And lizards. And rabbits.![]() 76 when we left, so not too bad... yet. Just myself, Kevin (kid) and George, although we did see quite a few more cyclists than usual, probably people switching from afternoon rides to morning, to avoid the heat. The heat didn't seem to bother me much though, as I finally got under 30 minutes today, and over 1000 VAM (meters climbed per hour). Did it solo too; George was zonked from a hard "morning" ride, and Kevin is still having some knee issues. Lots of wildlife out there; before hitting Kings we saw a deer trying desperately to get through a chain-link fence (that doesn't work, by the way), rabbits, lizards, and, as you can see in the photos, a King Snake on West Old LaHonda. This guy definitely would have been run over by a cyclist had we not moved him out of the way. A bit further up a baby rattlesnake, unfortunately previously squished (dead). Looking forward to Thursday's ride, which might not be quite so hot but still allow us to ride without leg warmers. |
