Today's weather and schedule opened up an opportunity to ride some dirt on the LHT over lunch.
It wasn't an actual dirt shredding session. It was more like using a bicycle on dirt trails to get to a good lunch/coffee spot.
I had a reptilian visitor during my coffee brew. Apparently, everyone loves the smell of fresh coffee. This guy came right up to me, stopped for about a minute, then went on his way right past me. We bonded.
I wasn't out long and didn't get into anything gnarly (although during my creek crossing I dropped my foot into the water... soggy shoes for the rest of the work day, I guess). I just slowly and gently rode the road bike through the woods and casually made my way around. That's a great way to spend an hour over lunch.
Get out there.
It's more than simply how we ride our bicycles, it's how we live.
