Nice morning ride around town. Almost ran over a large dead rattlesnake on Mesquite Springs. I am glad he was dead becaause I did not see him until the last moment.

First ride on road bike since 4/23. It is a rocket compared to the heavy fat tired 3 speed I have been using since I got back from Fort Bragg (CA) on 5/4. A beautiful warm spring day with a mild breeze. It is interesting to see how strong riding the heavy bike with limited gear choices makes my legs. It really shows on the carbon bike. It is good to be back to it!

The park HQ is finally re-opened. I did not go in to look. The main difference outside is that they took up the red tile from the walkways. Much of it was loose and it was probably a slippery hazard and potential lawsuit on the rare occasions it was wet.
