Coyote Creek Trail – Riveted

One Last Ride – Coyote Creek Trail

Kevin finished up at the conference and came back to the Airstream this afternoon in time for us to take a nice 17 mile bike ride.

We rode to the store and got some supplies to make burgers (grass-fed beef, chorizo, lettuce for buns, tomato, gorgonzola, and some yams to make truffled yam fries). We mix a little chorizo in with the extra lean beef (and some of our spice rub) and it makes a really killer burger. Well, the one other time we did it, it made a really killer burger. I cooked them inside that time, and tonight we're doing them on the Traeger, so I think this time they'll be even better.

Tomorrow morning we'll head north. We're going to aim for Emigrant Lake up by Ashland tomorrow. It's Friday, so it'll likely be a gamble whether we get a spot or not. Fingers crossed!

14 Miles on Coyote Creek Trail

I rode this morning into Morgan Hill via the Coyote Creek Trail (14.14 miles). We're having the gang over to the Airstream tonight again (taco night!) and I decided we needed some chips and salsa. (Meaning: an excuse to go back to the store on my bike!)

It hasn't rained once today, and it's just beautiful out.

But apparently, there no American Saddlebreds allowed on the bike path:

I stayed back at the Airstream and worked while Kevin conferenced it up yesterday and I needed a break from the dinette office, so I went for a short ride on the Coyote Creek Trail (6.5 miles). It was a stormy sky and a windy ride.

Turns out there's a great bike path just around the corner from the RV Park here: The Coyote Creek Trail. I just rode over to Target and back to get a few things (13.5 miles) and it was lovely. I saw probably a dozen hawks, turkey vultures, geese, many other waterfowl, and three giant wild turkeys.

I figured I should take advantage of the non-rain and get a little ride in (good thing, too, because it started raining 5 minutes after I got back to the Airstream).

There's an airport (runway and all) for RC planes along the path:

It was pretty windy and the sky had gotten considerably darker by the time I was on my way back to the Airstream.

Here's a map of my ride:

Happy Monday!
