Rode out to Sterchi Mansion. Saw a fat guy riding past me on a motorized beach cruiser. That things was loud and smelly. He and everyone around him could have benefitted from no motor instead. Two dogs came running down from a house on the opposite hill. Bastards. I stood my ground, They stopped and I took my pic. Then I took off and they continued to chase me. I hate that people let their dogs roam free here.
Then it was off to the soccer fields. Got there and rolled up into the hills. I took the Left branch so I was headed west. This time I was looking for webs. I broke them if I saw them. One stretched across the trail and would have wrapped around my face if I hadn't broken it.

I continued as far as I could handle. It was getting overgrown and a little creepy. Headed back down and out of the forest. Talked to some folks who were headed for the dog park. They were interested in the trails. Cruised around the soccer field and found some wild Sumac. I wouldn't have know what it was but it was on Bizarre Foods. Ha! Then I headed home. I'm getting stronger. I felt like I could have ridden a few more hours at least.
