Wed evening ride and swim
June 20
I started out alone about 6 pm and headed to the the lake, went down Harrell and Handy, I stopped down at the Moore’s Creek boat ramp, I thought it was possible I had dropped my wallet while out there on Sunday, but no. So climbed the hill and moved back north, but took a side road off the ridge and hit the lake for quick swim at sunset, very refreshing and amazingly quiet, no boats, just me and the herons. I came back up the hill and back up Handy and Harrell, riding through the evening chorus of birdsong into the setting sun. Just after cresting the hill, I got a call from Eileen she had found my wallet in a pair of pants, I was saved, and the ride was well worth it.
Summary: 32 miles, 14.5 out, but 11.5mph back, I had to walk up a gravel hill.
Sightings: 2 Great blue heron, ducks and daisies, and the elderberry is still blooming.
