    We rode the regular trail this morning for one hr twenty minutes. still cool and cloudy and possibly the whole weekend. lessens the fire danger so I'm happy about that. our next door neighbors appear to be gearing up for a real blow out. they usually don't start up until midnight so that...

    we have switched to a chilly damp forecast. i am not complaining with the 4th so close and idiots with fireworks scare the crap out of us every year. might make it worse in fact, but its damp so the burn risk is less. not gone but less. we wanted to ride today but it never lightened up...
