Back on the trail for training.

Joanne and I hit the trail this afternoon. She headed out to walk 5 miles while I headed out to ride 10 miles. The pace on HC was better than 8 miles per hour. The 8 mile mark was passed at 58 minutes into the ride. It took about 2 minutes at the start of the ride to turn around and encourge a snake off the trail. A gal walking didn't want to walk past it and was trying to scare it off the trail with rocks. Joanne and I met up again for the last 3/4 of a mile of our training. HC is in the back of the van ready for action if it doesn't rain too much. The new fender worked out great to keep trail goo off of me during the ride today (lots of leaves on the trail now).
