Went out looking for hills to climb, found them, and enjoyed a bit of bird-watching, too. Climbed through Tattarax, then sped down Seth Child to Rocky Ford to climb back out of there to the top of the dam. From there it was out to Carnahan Road, whose chip seal is now set well enough for road bikes. Climbed those hills out to the second scenic overlook, then turned around and came home. Along the way I spotted wild turkeys on the edge of town, a whole bush full of bluebirds, a cardinal feeding his young, the usual variety of hawks and vultures, and a model airplane! It was warm and sultry, about 84F and 60% humidity, with no wind to speak of. A bit more breeze would actually have been welcome given the humidity. Was wearing the full-zip blue Sugoi jersey, mostly unzipped, and the usual PI shorts.
