101.01 MILES & A SQUIFFY AWESOME DAY!





 How did I start my day?  Well got up at 4:00am and BOOM!  FLASH! RAIN! BOOM! BOOM! RAIN DOWN POUR! FLASH BOOM!

Stern look from hubby. Hell no your not taking off in that.
Text from Jenni: Tell me your not riding in that please.

Me: SHIT!   Cycling cops are on to me.
So we didn't take off till 7:00 am.

I had a horrible stomach in the morning, it went away, so I was like let's go.  I had all my grub with me in a back pack.


So I didn't get to 200 miles.  Phhtts big Deal at least I tired and there is always next time.  
   


Headed out to meet up with Jenni after the Bang and boom boom. 
 Huh! Two water bottles.  I found one that fit.  Now I can carry three water bottles.  While waiting for Jenni I did laps.









Such a beautiful way to start our ride this morning.  It was cool, cloudy, but no showers like they said. 













 Jenni and I decided to try our hand at farming.  I didn't go to well.

OMG! Were are my legs!!!!














Jennies a natural.                                                                                                     

 Took a break a Lunburg Rice Farm.

 Headed home the long way.




















                                               Jenni could not resit the Taco Truck. 


So yeah bike lane is now a place were you stop and text.  Always a truck.










Yeah I'm tired.

20.75 MILES & A LAZY DAY RAIN DROP RIDE.

 Just a little rain.   This morning it down poured really bad.  I just road thought big drops, nothing that bad.  
 Overcast and beautiful on my way out.
 Lot of fast moving clouds.



 My god this was the last flower that was not spent.   So I lucked out.
 Ewwwwww a fly. 
So what it's still part of nature and beautiful in it's own flyish way.
 Wow this yellow plants were so frangrent and there were so many insects I had to stop and take some photos.
 Spider.  All eight eyes were on me.
 What is this I've got to find out.  So different, look at the wings.
Close up.  And it also has pollen pockets on it's back legs?  It some sort of Hover fly, but OMG there so many species.  I'll just call it Hover fly. 
 A beetle.
 Another fly.
 Uh oh.   Rain a coming.
 Stop to look for new flowers and what not's.
 Like delicate paper.
 Holy crap.  I did not even see the fly.  This flower was so small already.   The fly is towards the top with wings open.  So so tiny. 
 This one is blurry, but you can still see it hovering.  Dang. If I had been aware I have a guest I would have tried to get a better shot.
 These are so beautiful like a nest.
 A nest that blooms.   Tiny little flowers, tiny tiny did I mention tiny.
There also be tiny things growing on the ground.
 A star shaped pod. 

 The rains getting closer.
