Long Training Ride
I got a long training ride in, and also got a two mile naked run it. The weather was glorious but the intensity of the sun quickly put a halt to any enjoyment of the temps finally going below the century mark.
A fire shredded this cactus and ocotillo
More after effects of fire from last year
Most areas for my ride went through normal desert scenes with massive saguaro, creosote and ocotillo lining the trail. But there was a couple miles through this burnt out area. That area struggles to recover outside of a few tiny flowing bushes that have sprouted in a very small number of places amongst the husks of burn fauna.
