Brian and I got out for a good ride today - we woke up, and for the first time in weeks, it was a sunny Saturday. We did a full apartment-cleaning, then headed off for the hills.
Here is Brian and his Rig, posing in a field that is fairly high up in the mountains:
We pushed on and on, uphill and off-road - it was taxing and yet thrilling. Our luck has not changed, of course - as we neared the top of the hill, edging ever higher, it began to snow. The same thing happened last weekend, too! It is exciting to think that we had climbed high enough to have snow, when it was probably just raining back at our aparment.
Coming downhill was exhilarating - rocky, rooty, slippy, and steep. Everything technical that keeps your mind focused and your body loose.
And now, I am looking forward to our quiet night at home, watching one of my all-time favorite movies - The Godfather.

Did you know that James Caan holds the record for the most number of squibs ever exploded on an actor in a single shot for the scene when Sonny gets it in The Godfather.
Sounds like you had a great ride and even better weather. Congrats. Don't you just love the burn!?!
