this is just in front of my house. It’s a bit too messy to be riding (until things clear up in a few days, hopefully). yesterday morning, this was as slick as a skating rink, and cars were sliding down the hill out of control. good times.

little hill after the BFH
the run
obstacles
I’m guessing the wooden fences were built to stop mountain bikers from tearing up the hill. And the power lines were put up to eat kites.
morning caffeine
I took the longer, harder route this morning to avoid road construction. This route takes me down to the river, and then back up to the top of the valley along Silver Springs. The hill climb portion is over maybe 200m, and goes from nearly the bottom of the valley, up to this point.
longview
the last pit stop of Day 1, before reaching camp.
birds
they sounded like seagulls, but looked like terns or something. I can’t seem to remember squat from my zoology undergrad days. I’ll just call them “birds” and be done with it.
There were many ponds along my route, but these birds – hundreds of them – were only found on this one.
tension @ 700km
I think the tension might be a little too high on these lines.
