In a few minutes I'll be heading out for day 3 of this week's ride. Yesterday was great, ended up on a sketchy mountain road after dark and in the rain, but still had a good time. The wildlife count for the day was 4 deer (2 in the road), 1 possum, 2 field mice, 1 pheasant, 3 dogs (all walking across/down the road).
For everyone stuck at their desk today (suckers!
), this is today's plan, subject to last second changes when I pass by a road that gets my attention
Edit: Apparently we can't embed google maps here. I'm going riding, not messing with this today.
