A good ride....

Michael had memorial day off, so we went to Oxbow Park here in Oregon. Out of all the mountain bike paths we've tried here so far, Oxbow is by far my favorite. So worth the 1/2 hour drive and $4 fee. There were so many paths to follow and they were all densely forested and butted up against the Sandy River.


Huge clovers! I tried finding a four leafed one. I figured they would be extra lucky since they were ginormous. No such luck.
Your friendly neighborhood...err woodland spider. He spun his web between two trees perfectly face level when on a bike. He was grateful that Michael didn't ruin his web. Oh, and Michael was okay with not trying to pick that web out his nose and not having to search for that little spider down his shirt. He sure was a fierce little guy--he wasn't very excited about getting his picture taken...not Michael, the spider.
Wondering how the crap that tree was growing out of the side of this cliff that the trail ran along. At the bottom of the cliff....the Sandy River.
Stopping to eat on a log. Michael really wanted to sit on a log. I did not. They were all soggy. Except this one. So, I lost. And we ate on a log.

Michael coming back from washing off poison ivy off his leg. After crashing on his bike and rolling through the stuff. A video might be coming...if I can get it to upload...
We made our way down to the river. And we eventually made it home, and then off again to spend more hours in the sun at a BBQ.

All this three day weekendness makes me sad to be back on a normal schedule. But I am sure glad that I have someone like Michael to spend my time with. =) Even on normal days.
