Gee, please don't get all technical on me. The only setting I played with was flash or no flash on my Canon SD870IS. This one probably was taken with the flash because I deleted some really blurry ones.

I know. It was this dark when we got to the road.

If you click on the image and look closely, you can see…

Jim "Jeans" and I plan on hitting Coe up Sunday morning, illnesses notwithstanding.

Route TBD.

 

[locoyokel]

Biking Brazilian, for the Sunday ride is it TBD - wait until Sunday, or TBD - you'll let us know before then?

I had a blast on the Rock House ride, and I might be able to get free Sunday.

I'll update with something a little more concrete by Saturday. I don't drive so I'm dependent on others' schedules/vehicles.

Anyone else end up with poison oak on their legs after this one?

 

[locoyokel]

I didn't, and I'm super-sensitive. But there were a lot of poison oak stems on Lost Spring, and I'm really careful about not brushing the winter stems since I've gotten it that way (the first time I ever got it was from crashing into a bush in the winter). I think I saw a handful a few other places - maybe near the bottom of China Hole east trail? Definitely some right above the creek on the China Hole west trail too.

The Oak, the oak!

I think you might of swiped by some sticks on the Hat Rock climb. I luckily avoided it. I remember seeing some there. I didn't see any poison oak on Lost Spring Trail at all. Or, for that matter China Hole Trail. My bets on the Hat Rock climb.

Oh, and I really was close to removing that tree from the center of the Black Oak Spring Trail. Really.
