Back on the Road

We returned, looked at the suddenly hot forecast and Amy made the executive decision that we were bugging out again.  While we waited for that day to arrive, I got in a ride with the Cactus Cycling gang, our numbers sharply diminished of course.

A fast moving group of cells moved through one night and lightning ignited a fire that was quickly contained.  In the above image, you can see the rows of pink fire retardant that was dropped by a plane.

I went for a 35 mile solo ride on the day before our new trip that included a stop at the Rocking K market.  I like this place because it has a nice, shaded area to sit outside and look at Rincon Peak.  I wonder if I'll ever hike to that monster again.  And then.....

....we celebrated my and a friend's birthday at a nice Italian restaurant and then....more to come!
