The Bike Ride

I went for my second bike (that would be a push bike) ride up here this evening. The first one was pretty uneventful with the exception of a lady in a car slowing down to make sure I was ok. Hey, I'm at altitude here. Mile High Saddle. And that's just the saddle. Everything is a hill around here... both ways.

So anyway, we haven't had much time for PT's lately, so I've had to conjure up all my discipline and motivation to do it on my own. So yesterday morning I went up the road for a run. It was absolutely gorgeous!! I decided I could get further and see more if I rode my bike, so that was the plan for this evening. I took my camera along so I could show you guys. Especially since many of you are wondering why on earth I would move out here.

This is the road I went up (looking back towards Apache Saddle). It's called Cerro Noroeste. Notice the trees. We have lots of them.

This is looking towards the northwest. It was a little hazy, so it's really hard to capture what my eyes could see. I wish I could capture it all in a picture.


It's amazing how much the eyes can take in out here. Everything is so big (expansive?) for lack of better word.

And of course I had to stay for the sunset, and then haul butt down the mountain because I didn't had batteries in my headlight. Not to mention that every squirrel and lizard rustling in the brush convinced me I was being stalked by a mountain lion.
