I woke up to a cold clear sky and started riding by 7:00 am. I began with three layers on but by 11:00 I was down to tee-shirt and shorts. The ride took me by lush green forests. Most of the trees in this area were logged in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s but were also replanted. The different hues of green look beautiful in bright sun light I had throughout the day.
