Hiya Sweetie,
Another beautiful morning, albeit a bit chilly in the early hours, as I got up a little early. Since I had a twenty mile trail to do today, I wanted to get out fairly early, and did manage to do so by about 10:00. The yellow trail didn't have quite as much road riding, but I have to say, with all this beautiful pine forest around, to have so much of the horse trail on the roads is a bit disappointing. Granted, the roads are mostly sandy, only a few places with any gravel, and only for a very short time, so I'm sure the endurance folks love it, but as for pleasure riding, I prefer something a lot more like a single track, not a road wide enough for two semis to pass each other. Patsy gave me two cans of yellow paint, so I was very careful for the first ten miles, and I managed to reach the ten mile mark just as the first can was empty, but the second half needed so much attention, I was afraid I would run out, so I ended up really scrimping the last four or five miles, and only had enough to do the turns. We ended up doing about 21.3 miles, and Flash was great again! Managed to get back into camp by 3:30, so I spent a little time mending a couple of things, like the ring on my saddle bag and a strap on my wool seat pad. Finally settled down for dinner and a movie, not sure yet which trail I'm taking tomorrow, but still plan an early bedtime. Good might, baby! Love you!
