Why did the cyclist cross the road ?

It's half day Friday so it means almost 4 hours of fun on the bike. So I head out for an adventure beyond The Darkside to do a lot of climbing. Much to my surprise the horses are now beyond The Darside, and I'll be dodging horse poop over here. Oh well it's all good and it's just great to be out enjoying my surroundings.

Not much in the way of replies, but I bet it was watched by almost everyone. Watch out for that puddle!

Beyond the Darkside has some tough mud puddles so I always take them a little slower than the regular area that I ride. I learned that lession last year on a visit when I went into one at speed and almost went over the bars when the wheels just came to a stop.

It's about 800 yards from my front door and over 100 miles of all sorts of trails, so I can't complain.
