Taking advantage of a good weather day before the rains set in, I decided to take one of my favorite routes. It is a good mix of flats, gentle climbs and short but steeper sections. It's a good variety for a casual ride but gets the blood pumping on occasion.
As usual while in the area, I rode up to Belleview/Yocom cemetery to say hi to the residents, and to check on a geocache. All is fine and ready to find!
I always roll by the north end of Briedwell before becoming River Bend as there are two residences that have dogs. I've been chased on more than one occasion while the owner stood idly by watching me be tormented by their terrors. There were no dogs today!
I spotted one other cyclist heading north at the north end of Muddy Valley, otherwise, I was the only one!
