Black Bear Ride

I rode what I call the Black Bear Ride today...31.5 miles and it took three hours. I call it that because it goes by the Black Bear Golf and Tennis club. The roads were a little soft in spots today, as it was fairly warm when I left. I would say about the last 4 miles, it was freezing up again, as it was 29 when I got home. If this link works, it will take you to the route I rode. Pretty slow riding today,as the tires were breaking thru most of the time. Some of the roads by Minong had a lot of black top showing though.
Took a picture of this Porcupine. It was just lying up on the branch...I still don't know if it was alive...or not.

There is a deer in there somewhere. I saw a lot of critters today. I also saw some squirrels, an eagle, crows and a turkey...plus a bunch of little birdies.

There sure are a lot of dorks driving these back roads. I know why they litter the beer cans, as they do not want to get caught with an open container, still doesn't make it right...but a coffee cup. It isn't like they are going to get busted for that or set it on their car and drove off. The nearest convenience store from this cup is 6 miles. Another thing that is common are fast food bags...at least another 30 miles away. While you bicycle at a slower pace then roaring down the road in an automobile, you notice these thing more. If you can explain to me what the hell goes thru their pee sized brain when they litter, please enlighten me.

  1. What goes thru their pea-brains? Not much, until they hit a tree or another car head on. Then it's the steering wheel. That's usually the last thing, too!
