What this resulted in was two very energized people on Saturday! We did a really good, long ride; granted, with gears we probably could have ridden further, but in one gear, we did great! Seriously - when I think back to just a few months ago - Brian was still recovering from his varicose vein surgery, and even a short ride was taxing...now, we just ride and ride and ride until we are begging for gears and our legs can't get us up one more hill...
While investigating one promising trail (uphill!), we saw a snake, a yamakagashi. Here's a photo:
Sorry it's blurry - the low lighting in the forest, combined with the snake being fidgety made a good shot impossible!
It was a really big snake actually; this shot should show some of the length:
This kind of snake is reputed to be dangerously poisonous, but with their fangs situated so far back in their mouths, they are not really a threat (click here to see a photo of Brian holding one last year).
After our "epic ride", Brian managed to conquer a few projects he'd had piling up - like taking the rack off his Pajero. I, meanwhile, spent more time learning about Photoshop Elements 4.0. This is the result of our effort!
