Another day, another ride…

The late winter weather is incredible this week. Mid-60’s temps and minimal breezes. So this morning at 8, I had to take advantage of it and head out on one of my favorite loops – on the road to Inverness, up to Inverness Ridge and Mt. Vision via a dirt road, Mt. Vision Rd. to the Inverness Ridge Trail and back to town.

I’ll never get tired of the views from Inverness Ridge – both to the east and west. To the east, Tomles Bay.

Took the “monster cross” bike out today. Dang, this is a fun bike. It just gobbles up rolling dirt roads.

Looking west with Abbott’s Lagoon on the right and the big ole Pacific stretching way out there.

Drake’s Bay and Drake’s Estero.

Black Mountain aka Elephant Mountain.

Inverness Ridge Trail – oh so sweet!

The banana slugs were out in force. There was one spot where it looked like a stampede with about 8 of them within a 5′ diameter. Must have been some good poo in the area.

More Inverness Ridge Trail. This section is super cool with the tunnel-like trees.

Up here, I was thinking how my amigos in Minnesota were faring in the snow and dedicate this shot to Jason.

   Mike,

   What is the bike you are riding here? I'd like to set up something similar for myself. Though I'd need a much smaller frame. 🙂

   It's a cross-bike frame I'm working on as my shop brand frame. I'll be posting more details as the project gets closer to fruition.
