A Pleasant Spring Afternoon Ride

This afternoon's MTB ride at a nearby set of trails was just perfect.  The pictures show how you can feel like you're out in the wilderness, even when you're within the limits of a fairly-large city. 

Even though I haven't been on PBOD for about five months, I'm overall much fitter than I used to be and was much more comfortable on the bike.  There were no accidents, not even near-misses.  And I only saw one snake, and it was of the non-poisonous variety.  It changed its mind about coming onto the trail when it saw me coming.
