Bike is ready, although an hour after I intended to leave. See the flag. The wind was blowing. It was 25F when I left. I should have hit the trainer.

A couple of miles into my ride, I came across my first of many animal contacts. This is not a great picture, but I was afraid the bald eagle would fly away if I got closer. It is sitting in a deer carcass. Across the street was a group of 20-30 turkeys.

Does it look cold? Hangman Road a bit past Hatch Road.

I can see the sun. Why can't it see me? Has it forsaken me since I stopped believing in it?

Umm, the road is going uphill. Wouldn't it be better if I went home now?

Last summer the Valley Chapel Road was closed here all summer. Here is why. Look carefully and you can see the 30-40 feet of concrete between asphalt stretches. That is the bridge that was replaced.

Here is the reason for the bridge. This is just shy of the spring run-off level. Nothing in the stream bed all summer. Couldn't we have just hopped across it instead of having the road blocked off for 3-4 months? Does one of the county commissioners own a bridge building company?

Beauty shot.

The bottom of the Valley Chapel Hill. My friend Bob says this hill has three parts. I will prove him wrong in a future post.
