More pictures at Flickr.Hilary and I went for a ride to the top of Mount Tzouhalem this afternoon. The weather was perfect, and we had a really good ride.
I really like riding with Hilary, as we ride at the same pace, so neither of us feels like she's holding the other up or anything. And we're as crazy as each other, so it's always a good laugh (have you got it out of your head yet? "Give peace a chance!").
There we loads of cars in the parking lot, and we met several riders and hikers on the trails. We met Bill and Dave (not Hilary's Dave, a different one) at the top of Tea Cup as we were riding up (and they were heading down), and I met Gail in the parking lot, who I haven't seen in ages.
We rode up the usual way, to the leaning log and carried on, but took a wrong turn and tried to ride up Willy's new trail. Then up the fire road to do Field of Dreams, and all the way to the top, where I discovered Hilary is an undercover bird watcher (when she spotted a very rare, speckled, purple breasted, triple winged, green horned eagle) . We looped around back to the fire road, and rode Field of Dreams in the other direction, then the usual Little Dipper, Why, School's Out, Tea Cup, Resurrection, and back up to do Resurrection for some kids.
Distance: 13 km (exactly)Time: 3 hr (exactly)
