How many times…

Filed under: Rides

How many times have you ridden past something and taken it for granted? Ridden past something and thought “I should stop sometime and check that out?” Anyone who has ridden past the town center of Inverness on Sir Francis Drake Blvd. has seen the old boat that’s been stranded high and dry on the beach behind the Inverness Store. I’ve always thought I should stop and check it out a little closer sometime.

Well, that sometime happened about a week ago as I was riding through Inverness to get to the dirt road climb up to the Inverness Ridge. The sun had just risen and the light was almost perfect. As I came into Inverness, I glanced over, saw the boat bathed in the first light and knew today was the day to check it out. And as chance would have it, I had my trusty little camera in my pocket.

Then it was time to get back on the bike and start climbing up to the ridge.
