Well…not feeling the political thing today so I am going to avoid it and just do one on trail stuff and other happenings. I did get to the most miles of any week for me last week when I did 280 miles…and that is almost 3 times more than I ride in a week…this week will be back to normal and I am still surprised I didn’t do any damage to my body after those numbers…I did see a loon in one of the ponds along M-6 a couple of times this week and I can’t remember ever seeing one of those…normally, there are either a crane or a heron in that pond…and there was even a new brood of ducks there today which is really late in the year for that….oh, and in the pond at the start of the ride, I think we have some beavers there now….there are trees down all around the edges with the v-shaped cuts that beavers make….haven’t seen any of them yet and I can’t find the lodge that should be there…but the chain link fence keeps you so far away I may never see it….still pretty cool….
