Wednesday, February 12, 2025 – Nice Ride at Shangrila

Hey Sweetie,
Had a decent night sleep, but still not enough to be a hundred percent. I had arranged to meet Sherra at Shangrila for another buddy ride with Blake, this time heading over to the Land Bridge that crosses over I-75. There are some nice single track trails here, with a lot of shade. There are several parallel trails so we didn't have to take the same linear trail back and forth, and we were trying to vary the terrain as much as we could for Blake's benefit. He was feeling a little claustrophobic on some of the deep trails, and would get a little excited and want to power through them instead of picking through them at first, but by the time we got to the end of the ride, he had settled down nicely. Sherra was worried about how he would react to all the traffic going by underneath us, but with Flash pretty much ignoring it, we crossed straight over. On the way back, we took some pix and stood there for awhile just to get everyone settled down, and finally got back to the trailhead after about three hours. It was a nice ride, a beautiful day, almost a bit too warm, but the horses got a nice rinse off before loading them into our respective trailers. I got back to camp around 3:00 and settled down. My weariness is still there deep down, and it reappeared in spades by the time I got Flash put away and settled in for the evening. Tomorrow, I'm taking the day off! I don't plan on doing anything physical tomorrow, my aching bones need some rest! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
