Early (for this old man) morning ride to try to avoid the worst of the heat, which was mostly successful. It was plennnnnnty humid though, without much of a breeze. Had not been up the bonus trails off Ten Mile Creek in awhile and on a whim decided to ride up the "Jewelweed" trail to Slidell Road. Had a thought of trying to do that Bucklodge Loop, as it's been dry enough of late where it should be ridable. But after the two miles of climbing starting just before Mile 6, it seemed like a better idea to skip that notion. Maybe a less-humid, cooler day... ... and after Jewelweed has been trimmed/clipped. It clearly has not been ridden much at all and was wildly overgrown. (And the trail had disappeared from the stretch around that field ... plus it was out in the open and pretttty warm.) Climbed that hated Col du Cool Spring in one go, but it wasn't fast. Really wanted to do more of Black Hill but wasn't feeling that great soooo ... I didn't. Pretty sure the legs could have done it but the rest of the body was less interested...
